“With spring break coming, a lot of kids are sensitive about their weight,” said John Silman, owner of the Norman Smoothie King. “We’re promoting the lower-calorie smoothies for those kids that want to slim down.”
Silman emphasizes the fact that smoothie calories, which come mainly from fruit, are different than calories from less healthy foods, like ice cream. According to him, a 300-calorie drink from smoothie king is more energizing and less fattening than a 300-calorie ice cream treat or milkshake.
The store has a drink for everyone though, not only those who are trying to lose weight. Silman sells high-calorie, high-protein smoothies to students and athletes trying to build muscle, and even to elderly people who are trying to gain weight.
Smoothie King may help students end the struggle between satisfying their sweet tooth and stifling their caloric intake, providing dozens of combinations that aid in weight loss, weight gain, or just healthy weight maintenance.
