DALLAS (March 20, 2025) – Smoothie King, the world leader in smoothie innovation, is joining forces with California Almonds for National Nutrition Month. Whether guests are looking to boost energy, recover from a workout or make smarter choices, adding almonds can provide additional nutritional benefits, such as +5g of protein and +3g of fiber per serving (approximately 20 almonds), to their favorite smoothie.
To mark this month-long celebration of nutrition, Smoothie King is offering New Healthy Rewards loyalty members $3 off their entire purchase throughout March, encouraging more people to experience the difference of clean, nutritious smoothies made with whole fruits and almonds.
“Almonds are my go-to smoothie power-up, filled with essential nutrients, like magnesium and vitamin E. If that wasn’t enough, promising research found that having 2 ounces of almonds daily may have a positive impact on exercise recovery,” said Dawn Jackson Blatner, RDN, CSSD. “So, if you’re looking for an easy way to support exercise recovery efforts and overall health—almonds are the perfect smoothie addition!”
This research1, funded by Almond Board of California and conducted for 4 weeks among 64 healthy, non-smoking U.S. male and female adults ages 30-65 who are occasional exercisers, found that study participants who ate 57g of almonds reported experiencing reduced fatigue and tension during muscle recovery, increased leg and lower back strength and decreased muscle damage during the first day of recovery post-exercise.
