Smoothie King and Dude Perfect Blend Fun and Nutrition With New Limited-Edition Dude Perfect Smoothie

Smoothie King, the world leader in smoothie innovation, today announced a new partnership with entertainment giant Dude Perfect to launch a new, limited-edition Dude Perfect Smoothie now available nationwide. The smoothie features a brand-new ingredient for the smoothie brand: nutrient-dense superfood, blue spirulina. This collaboration combines excitement, nutrition, and fun, appealing to everyone who loves Dude Perfect or just enjoys delicious, protein-packed treats.

"Finding the common ground between parents and kids can be a challenge and Dude Perfect's universal appeal is something everyone can enjoy," said Marianne Radley, Chief Marketing Officer of Smoothie King. “It’s in this spirit that we set out to launch a delicious smoothie that both parents and kids can agree on. We also loved the fact that the Dudes are authentic fans of the brand and are some of our top Healthy Rewards loyalty members!”

Dude Perfect joined the Smoothie King R&D team at its Dallas HQ Test Kitchen for a smoothie-making competition where all five Dudes tried their hand at creating the best blend—but only one was ultimately crowned Perfect. The Dude Perfect Smoothie features a power-packed blend of pineapples, bananas, kiwi apple juice blend, protein blend, vanilla frozen yogurt, turbinado, and, for the first time ever in a Smoothie King offering: blue spirulina. These delicious ingredients combine to deliver 14g of protein, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Smoothie King prides itself on what’s NOT in the cup as much as what is, adhering to an extensive “No No List” that bars over 75 ingredients from being blended into any of its smoothies.

"Smoothie King has always been a go-to spot for us. In fact, I think I personally have to be in the top 1% of Smoothie King customers over the past few years! So having the opportunity to create the Dude Perfect Smoothie is a dream come true for us," said Coby Cotton, member of Dude Perfect. "We're all about having fun, being competitive and promoting a healthy, active lifestyle. Smoothie King gave us a blank slate to create the most delicious smoothie possible that's also packed with nutrients. We believe we've done that, and we can't wait for everyone to try it out!"
