I can have two smoothies at Smoothie King. The rest of them are so unhealthy. I can have the low carb one (any flavor) and the Gladiator with no fruit. As Mokee said, it is terrible with no fruit. When I was on the liquid pre-op diet and now that I am post sleeve, I don't put any fruit in it and it doesn't bother me TOO much. You have to use a flavored gladiator powder for it to be bearable. I like the strawberry one the best. Before I went on the really strict diet, I would do a strawberry gladiator with strawberry powder and only one serving of fruit (instead of two). It cuts the calories back, subtantially. You still get a good strawberry flavor because of the powder, and it's not too sweet at all. The owner at our local branch introduced me to this option. Whatever you do, do not get the "Lean One." It has more sugar than the law allows. The low carb is the easiest to order. You don't have to do anything special. So, I have stuck to that one.
