Why add sugar to real fruit smoothies?

You may ask, "Isn't real fruit sweet enough; why add sugar to a smoothie?" We add Turbinado sugar, which is sugar in its natural form, to give our smoothies that rich texture and consistency. Plus, Turbinado sugar isn't processed so it doesn't contain anything artificial. This sets Tropical Smoothie Cafe apart from many of its competitors who do use artificial sugar or syrups in their smoothies.

Of course many folks ask for Splenda, and some prefer no sweetener at all. Either way, you're getting an affordable and fulfilling treat you don't have to feel guilty about.
