Smoothie King, the originator of the nutritional fruit-based smoothie, today announced its 500th nutritional lifestyle center opened in Atlanta.

To celebrate, Smoothie King will give a free 20-ounce smoothie to any guest who donates five canned goods at any participating Smoothie King location in the U.S. on Saturday, Dec. 8.We couldn’t think of a better way to commemorate this milestone than to give back to our loyal guests and give back to the communities that have supported us,” said Steve Kuhnau, Smoothie King’s founder and CEO.

We aim to provide a healthy alternative to traditional unhealthy fast food in the communities we serve, but we believe part of that responsibility is also to help ensure those in each community have enough to eat each day. For that reason, we are giving back this holiday season by hosting a food drive at our 500 locations across the country.”

All donations will go to the food bank in the community in which they were donated. The move is in response to the pleas of food banks across the country for donations to help meet the needs of the requests coming in this holiday season.
