On October 29, Smoothie King announced the launch of new smoothies that support individuals with weight management goals. The launch marks a pivotal shift for the brand as it is one of the first to offer a menu for individuals prescribed GLP-1 medication. Additionally, the smoothies have been developed by registered and leading dieticians from Oschner Health.
A weight loss journey is often more than being on a GLP-1 medication or weight loss supplement. Smoothie King's new menu items aim to support individuals and empower people on their weight loss journeys. Additionally, this helps them make nutritional choices that meet their unique needs in the weight loss journey.

The launch of the new menu comes amid an increasing usage of weight management supplements and medications like Ozempic. Molly Kimball of Oschner Health, registered dietician and designer of GLP-1 smoothies said in a statement,
"When developing this menu, it was important to offer blends with a thoughtful balance of nutrient-dense, high-protein, fiber-rich foods to support satiety and muscle mass. We were also mindful of sugar."
Wan Kim, CEO of the smoothies brand talked about the launch with the press and noted,
"We know that every individual's path is different, and with the rising use of GLP-1 medications across the country and our customer base, we want to ensure that Smoothie King provides the nutritional resources to match."
He added,
"Our smoothies are more than just a delicious treat—they're a power packed meal on-the-go to help our guests stay on track with their goals."
The new menu includes a variety of high-protein, fiber, and no-added-sugar smoothies including,
- Gladiator GLP-1:
- Slim N Trim GLP-1 Mango Greens
- Keto Champ GLP-1
- The Activator Recovery GLP-1 Almond Berry
- Power Meal Slim GLP-1
Many customers revealed excitement for the smoothies by adding them to their weight loss diet or routine. The smoothies offer varying amounts of protein, the most being about 61 grams in the Gladiator GLP-1 smoothie. A user wrote on Instagram,
"Thank you for finally offering healthy options for smoothies! Protein, fiber, real food, no fillers or sugar. I can’t wait to try these."
Weight loss journeys are impacted by many factors, including diet and protein intake. Smoothie King's GLP-1 menu offers exciting options for weight loss supplement users to try out. While the smoothies are marketed for individuals taking GLP-1 supplements and medications, these are for everyone.
For anyone looking to reduce their sugar intake, and increase their fiber and protein, these can make for a good start.
