"Many consumers resolve to live better in the new year but most resolutions are put to the wayside by the 17^th and by the 28^th they have lost their way," said Tropical Smoothie CEO Mike Rotondo. "But getting off track does not need to mean a total derailment and we believe there are simple ways to re-focus and re-energize those previous commitments. So, we encourage those who want to find their way back to a healthier lifestyle to take the eat out of cheat today." Rotondo said the brand is offering anyone who signs up for Club Tropical membership (https://t.co/QKUdSfx3FN), a $3.49 Chia Banana Boost Smoothie to kick off their efforts to eat better and feel better this year.

Fuel Up On Flavor
It's all part of the brand's Live Better Smoothie Lineup which consists of four smoothies purposefully designed to address guests' top nutritional needs. The Chia Banana Boost offers an energy lift with many ingredients including roasted banana, chia seeds, whole grain oats, and even the option to add peanut butter or strawberries. Jump start the immune system with orange, green apple, vitamin-C immune complex and more with the Immune Blast smoothie. Flaunt that hard-earned muscle with the Chia Banana Max smoothie, which aids the body in responding to exercise through whole grains, proteins, and fruits that are essential to building fat-burning muscle. Lastly, detox the body with the Detox Island Green smoothie, which features five whole fruits and vegetables, including the ever-cleansing fresh ginger, so the body may perform at its peak condition.

"Make January 29^th the beginning of a commitment to a healthier lifestyle," Rotondo added.
