How would you like to drink the most delicious of smoothies that only has six calories of fat? You actually lose fat and become more energized by drinking the Tropical Smoothie Café’s Lean Machine. Just 173 calories with Splenda (and 473 with Turbinado) the Lean Machine is the best of the best when it comes to weight loss treats.
Sure, I need to lose weight. I’m a chubby guy in a wheelchair, but I don’t like having to sacrifice taste to do it. Nobody wants to eat cardboard and while I have some willpower, if my food tastes like cardboard I’m not going to want to stay on my diet, nor can I guarantee I’ll be able to stick to it long term. Maybe a few weeks, but that’s my limit.
The Tropical Smoothie Café’s Lean Machine is the first smoothie I tried from the café. I chose it because I like strawberries and bananas. Those are the two main ingredients in the Lean Machine. The smoothie also includes Fat Metabolizer and Energizer. So, you only get six calories of fat and the drink is pretty much free calories of fruity goodness.
The smoothies by the Tropical Smoothie Café use real fruit and they are perfectly blended. While Fat Metabolizer and Energizer come in this particular smoothie, you can order them or one of the other smoothie boosters for a nominal fee in any of the other smoothies you purchase. The worst thing about this smoothie is its price.
For one smoothie, you’ll pay $4.79. One size fits all and these smoothies are absolutely huge. I guess the size and price balance out, but this isn’t something most people will be able to afford (in this economy) every single day. Still, the smoothie is worth the purchase, and I recommend splitting it with a friend or loved one.
A wrap/sandwich and a smoothie can easily be shared and you’ll be able to have a two person meal for under $15. Believe me, there is more than enough to go around. Ash and I usually split smoothies. Trying to drink one of these alone is a chore that is going to ensure you have a smoothie to drink nearly all day long!
Overall, I recommend the Lean Machine to those who love strawberries and bananas. The appearance is a light pink, frothy substance that might not look as appetizing as it tastes, but believe me when I say it is good. You can taste every strawberry seed and it is nicely blended with the banana to absolute perfection. With this considered pretty much a free “food” you can’t deny the deliciousness of the Tropical Smoothie Café’s Lean Machine…or any of the other equally as healthy smoothies that the café offers.
