Free Smoothie Deals for National Smoothie Day

Note: this was published in 2023

Summer has arrived, and few things are as refreshing as a well-made smoothie. Toss together fruit, milk and yogurt — perhaps a drizzle of honey, a splash of juice or a scoop of protein powder — and you’ve got a delightful, nourishing treat.

Coincidentally, Wednesday, June 21, is National Smoothie Day, and many of the major smoothie chains across the U.S. are rolling out special promotions and discounts for the occasion. Chains taking part include Jamba Juice, Playa Bowls, Smoothie King and Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

(Wednesday also marks the first day of summer. That’s not by accident.)

Below are some of the top smoothie deals we’ve found:

Jamba Juice

On Wednesday, this nationwide brand with nearly 770 locations will offer a “mystery smoothie,” the flavor of which will remain a secret until the end of the day. The mystery option is discounted — a medium-sized one will cost just $5. Normally, a medium at Jamba runs close to $7.20, so you’re saving roughly 30%.

You can snag the mystery smoothie by entering the promo code MYSTERY5 in the Jamba app or at Jamba.com.

Playa Bowls

Playa Bowls operates more than 170 locations, mainly across the Northeast, and it has a generous offer: members of its rewards program who buy a 16-ounce or 20-ounce smoothie on Wednesday will receive a coupon for a free 16-ounce smoothie. That voucher can be used anytime between June 22 and June 28.

Smoothie King

Smoothie King has over 1,350 locations in 32 states.

Can you say BOGO? If you belong to this chain’s Healthy Rewards program, you can take advantage of a BOGO deal on 20-ounce smoothies on Wednesday — buy one, get one free.

It’s among the most appealing offers available.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe

Another solid promotion comes from Tropical Smoothie Cafe, which boasts more than 1,150 locations nationwide. If you’re enrolled in the chain’s Tropic Rewards program, you can claim a complimentary 24-ounce smoothie with any food purchase on Wednesday.

To access the coupon for this free smoothie, download the Tropical Smoothie app or visit their website and open the “rewards” tab.

Those are the best ways to mark National Smoothie Day. Cheers to a cool, tasty sip!
