Smoothie King is embracing one of food culture’s biggest trends with the launch of its first-ever Pickle Smoothie, created in partnership with Grillo’s Pickles. The limited-time offering is now available at participating Smoothie King locations nationwide and arrives just ahead of International Pickle Day on May 16th.
The new smoothie combines real Grillo’s Pickles with bananas, organic kale, and coconut water, creating a tangy, refreshing beverage designed to support hydration through naturally occurring electrolytes. Priced at $5.99 for a 20-ounce serving, the smoothie reflects growing consumer interest in pickle-inspired flavors and functional beverages.
To celebrate International Pickle Day, guests can also receive a free 4-ounce Pickle Smoothie in stores while supplies last.
The collaboration brings together two brands focused on flavor and innovation. Smoothie King, which has spent more than 50 years developing nutrition-focused smoothie recipes, worked with Grillo’s Pickles, known for its fresh ingredients and bold flavor profile, to create a product that delivers both taste and functionality.
According to Smoothie King’s product development team, the smoothie was inspired by the growing popularity of pickles and their association with hydration benefits. For Grillo’s, the partnership offered an opportunity to highlight both the brand’s playful personality and the functional qualities of pickles in an unexpected format.
