Fast-casual and quick-service chains have spent the last year trying to one-up each other with menu items that promise eye-popping macro numbers, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smoothieking.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.smoothieking.com\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Smoothie King\" data-node-id=\"2.3\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\">Smoothie King<\/a> is officially joining the club with its new 100-gram Protein Pack.   <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Instead of cramming protein into a single weird drink or a gimmicky add-on, the Protein Pack bundles together several existing menu items to reach the 100-gram total. Each order includes a grab-and-go Protein Box, Peanut Butter Toast, and a medium Gladiator smoothie. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\">\n<div class=\"css-p7qblm e1mlxuuw0\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"smoothie king protein\" title=\"smoothie king protein\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"8000\" height=\"4500\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/smoothie-king-100g-protein-pack-1-695e931f0a55e.jpg?crop=0.502xw:0.891xh;0.493xw,0&amp;resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/smoothie-king-100g-protein-pack-1-695e931f0a55e.jpg?crop=0.502xw:0.891xh;0.493xw,0&amp;resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/smoothie-king-100g-protein-pack-1-695e931f0a55e.jpg?crop=0.502xw:0.891xh;0.493xw,0&amp;resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/smoothie-king-100g-protein-pack-1-695e931f0a55e.jpg?crop=0.502xw:0.891xh;0.493xw,0&amp;resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/smoothie-king-100g-protein-pack-1-695e931f0a55e.jpg?crop=0.502xw:0.891xh;0.493xw,0&amp;resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/smoothie-king-100g-protein-pack-1-695e931f0a55e.jpg?crop=0.502xw:0.891xh;0.493xw,0&amp;resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/smoothie-king-100g-protein-pack-1-695e931f0a55e.jpg?crop=0.502xw:0.891xh;0.493xw,0&amp;resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-dynamic-svg=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/social\/pinterest.e8cf655.svg?primary=%2523ffffff\" loading=\"lazy\" data-testid=\"dynamic-svg-base\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" alt=\"pinterest\" class=\"css-4lml0h e1mlxuuw1\"\/><\/div>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-10bgxwr e1geg53v2\">Smoothie King<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The Protein Box contains cheese cubes, fresh fruit, crackers, and your choice of either hard-boiled eggs or a meat stick and peanut butter. The Peanut Butter Toast features all-natural peanut butter and fruit on eight-grain bread. Put those together with one of the brand\u2019s classic high-protein smoothies, and you\u2019ve got what Smoothie King is calling a complete meal rather than just a snack.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">This isn\u2019t the first 100-gram protein gimmick we\u2019ve seen. In November of last year, Sweetgreen debuted a 106-gram protein bowl with a whopping 4(!) servings of chicken. And with our national protein obsession continuing to intensify, you can likely expect more chains to follow suit. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">For years, people have turned to Smoothie King for post-workout fuel or a quick breakfast, not necessarily for a carefully calculated 100-gram day. Whether customers actually want a full meal from a smoothie chain remains to be seen, but the move fits neatly into the broader protein craze sweeping the food industry. If you\u2019re someone who already struggles to keep up with macro math, this is a convenient option to add to your meal rotation. <br data-node-id=\"8.1\"\/><\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smoothie King introduced a brand-new bundle to the menu: The 100-gram Protein Pack.
