Protein Smoothies — Freshii Sundance SE Calgary
Freshii Sundance blends fresh protein smoothies from real fruit, whole ingredients, and quality protein sources — no artificial flavours, no synthetic sweeteners, no pre-made mix bases. Every smoothie is blended to order from fresh or frozen fruit, your choice of base (almond milk, coconut milk, or dairy milk), and optional protein powder (whey or plant-based). Available at the counter, via online pre-order, and through delivery across SE Calgary.
Smoothie Options at Freshii Sundance
Signature Smoothies
Our signature smoothie lineup covers the most popular flavour and nutrition profiles. The Strawberry Banana is our most ordered smoothie — a classic that converts first-time visitors into regulars. The Mango Tango (mango, pineapple, coconut milk, lime) provides a tropical flavour profile with natural anti-inflammatory compounds. The Green Machine (spinach, banana, apple, ginger, almond milk) delivers significant vegetable nutrition in a fruit-forward format that masks the greens entirely — our most popular option for customers adding vegetables to their diet without wanting a "health drink" taste.
Protein Smoothies
All smoothies can be upgraded with whey protein (fast-digesting, ideal post-workout) or plant protein powder (pea or hemp, for vegan customers or those avoiding dairy). For performance-focused customers, our dedicated protein shakes use an additional protein scoop and a higher protein-to-fruit ratio. For post-workout recovery, a protein smoothie paired with a high-protein grain bowl provides a two-stage protein delivery — fast-digesting liquid protein from the smoothie followed by slower-digesting solid protein from the bowl.
Smoothie Bowls
Our smoothie bowls are the thick, spoonable, topping-loaded version of a smoothie — an acai, berry, or banana-peanut butter base served in a bowl and topped with granola, fresh fruit, seeds, and coconut flakes. The texture difference is significant: a smoothie bowl is eaten, not drunk, and the toppings add texture, satiety, and nutritional complexity a drinkable smoothie cannot provide. Read our smoothie bowl FAQ if you've never tried the format and want to understand what to expect.
Vegan and Plant-Based Smoothies
All smoothies are available in fully plant-based format — choose almond or coconut milk, select plant protein (pea or hemp), and skip honey for strict vegan compliance. Our plant-based builds are nutritionally complete and genuinely satisfying, not modified versions of a dairy smoothie. For vegan catering events, we can run plant-based smoothie bars as a beverage station. For a full overview of our plant-based options across the menu, see the vegan menu page.
Why Real Fruit Makes the Difference
Many smoothie chain products use pre-portioned flavoured mix bags with added sugar, flavourings, and colourings blended with ice. The result looks like a smoothie and is marketed as one — but the actual nutritional profile is significantly different from a smoothie made with real whole fruit. At Freshii Sundance, we blend from actual fruit — fresh or IQF-frozen at peak ripeness to preserve nutrient content. Every smoothie has a short, recognizable ingredient list with no mystery components. The taste difference is immediately apparent.
Best Times to Order a Smoothie
Morning: A fruit smoothie with plant protein is one of the most efficient breakfast formats — complete nutrition in under 5 minutes. Pair with a cold-pressed green juice for a vitamin-dense morning combination. Pre-workout: A higher-carbohydrate fruit smoothie (mango, banana, pineapple base) provides fast-digesting fuel 30–60 min before training. Post-workout: A high-protein smoothie provides the fastest post-workout protein delivery on our menu. Afternoon: A smoothie or smoothie bowl as a mid-afternoon stabilizer outperforms processed snacks for avoiding the 3pm energy dip.
Ordering Smoothies
Order at the counter (3–5 min preparation), or use our online pre-order system to schedule your smoothie for pickup. Smoothies are best consumed within 20–30 minutes of blending. For delivery, smoothies travel well over shorter distances — for longer delivery runs to Cranston or Mahogany, consider a grain bowl instead. To add a smoothie station to a catering event, see our catering page or call (587) 352-8807.
Can I customize any smoothie at Freshii?
Yes. Every smoothie at Freshii Sundance is fully customizable at the counter. You can modify the base liquid (almond, coconut, or dairy milk), adjust the fruit blend, add protein powder (whey or plant-based), and add extras like hemp hearts, chia seeds, or spirulina. If you want a specific combination not on the signature menu, tell our team and we build it from our available ingredients. For the full list of customization options, ask at the counter or see our smoothie FAQ.
Beyond our core signature lineup, Freshii Sundance introduces seasonal smoothie variations that reflect ingredient availability and customer demand trends. These rotate throughout the year — check with our team at the counter or follow our Instagram @freshiisundance for current seasonal additions. Regular customers who find a seasonal smoothie they love can request it as a custom build using the same ingredient components, even outside its promotional window.
