I just needed to get something to eat because my blood sugar was low. I randomly chose a restaurant and something off the menu. I knew I wanted a smoothie. With all the meds I've been taking for lupus and other autoimmune conditions recently, my appetite has been poor. I have spent soooo much money with doordash (money from SSDI once a month, that I really can't afford to splurge with), just trying to figure out what I like to eat best, and I still end up wasting money because most of the food goes in the trash because I can't eat it all d/t my lap-band, and being homeless, I have nowhere to store it.
I came here to Detroit the day after Thanksgiving after losing my nursing career to MCTD, Lupus, Sarcoidosis, Rheumatoid arthritis and other painful diseases that basically cause my body to fight against itself. I am currently at a rehabilitation center in Southfield after my last lupus and Sarcoidosis flare. I was sent here for physical therapy and occupational therapy to regain some of my strength back. The point is, the food here is awful, sometimes inedible! As a newly diagnosed "prednisone induced" diabetic, I really have to watch my blood sugar because it will bottom out quickly. Smoothies have been my go-to instead of food. I'm sure doordash wonders just how many smoothies can one person drink?
Tonight though, I was starving, but I really didn't expect EVERYTHING to be soooo delicious. Even the strawberry edible straw is delicious lol. The SMOKY GRILLED CHEESE is superb and a nice portion size.. It came HOT and everything was wrapped and sealed. Even the apple is wrapped tightly in Saran Wrap. 🤩👏🏽At Panera Bread, it is just thrown in the bag... (No shade because I love Panera as well)... But Thank youuuu Tropical Smoothie for coming to my medical Aid and for satisfying my palette at the same time. I will be trying other items from the menu and other smoothies in the near, near future as I pray to find an apartment or Bnb Asap!! 🙏🏽🙇🏽♀️

The SUNRISE SUNSET™ is amazingly delicious and refreshing, good pairing with the BUFFALO CHICKEN which is a bit spicy

Really nice. I wish there was an option for half of the peanut sauce.
The peanut sauce is kind of too much- it's delicious, but I want to get it on the side or have an option to go light.
Just too watery for the wrap, tbh. I'm used to a thick peanut sauce consistency, and even still I think it would be more fun to dip on the side, because your wrap is really lovely flavour wise on its own!

Everything was made just how I ordered it! CHICKEN BACON RANCH and DETOX ISLAND GREEN® were good!
