Costco introduces new Strawberry Banana smoothie: Where to get, price, and more explored

These days consumers are increasingly becoming conscious of their dietary choices, and seek nutritious meals to boost their health. Smoothies, which are simply made by blending different fruits, vegetables, and sometimes supplements have been gradually gaining traction when it comes to healthy beverages.

Many restaurants and stores including Costco have been offering their versions of smoothies. The warehouse chain has introduced a new Strawberry Banana smoothie in its food courts. It has reportedly replaced its fruit smoothie, as indicated by Tasting Table.

According to a post shared by @costcodeals and @whats_in_your_cart on Instagram, the new smoothie is priced at $2.99. While sharing the reel, they mentioned in the caption that it might be their “favorite of all the smoothies.”

The new Strawberry Banana smoothie includes ingredients like strawberry, banana purée, apple purée, pear purée, and pineapple juice concentrate, as indicated by a post in the Food Republic.

Costco's new Strawberry Banana Smoothie is available at Costco food courts across US locations. The drink has already been available at some Costcos for a week and will be arriving at other US locations soon, a report in CostcoInsider stated.

So, how are the reviews of the newly launched Costco beverage? Let’s find out!

Are people liking the newly launched Costco’s Strawberry Banana smoothie?

According to the reviews reported by several outlets, customers have given it mixed reactions. Some are not keen to try the new beverage because of its high sugar content. According to a report in Food Republic, the Strawberry Banana smoothie at Costco contains 69 grams of total sugar, which includes 25 grams of added sugar alongside its ingredients.

“I was disappointed in this. Not worth 320 calories and all that sugar. I much preferred the old berry smoothie that was far less sugar.” A Reddit user reacted.

“Still waiting for Costco to offer sugar free drinks (in particular the coffee)” Another user added.

While some were interested to try the new drink and enquired about it.
