Menus have some variations depending on location, but examples include the Green Giant Smoothie (pineapple, orange, mango, kale, lime, matcha, ginger, and oat milk); the Tickled Pickle fresh juice (ginger, pineapple, cucumber kale, and lime); and the Banana Cream Pie smoothie bowl, which has a base of banana, cashew cream, and oat milk, topped with banana, plain granola, coconut, golden raisins, and cashew cream.
