When it comes to smoothie delivery options, there’s truly something for everyone. Some companies offer frozen blends with pre-portioned ingredients that can be whipped up in minutes. Others offer pre-blended, grab-and-go bottles that only require a twist of the cap. And for even greater convenience—during travel, camping or any time you’re without access to a fridge or blender—you can opt for shelf-stable mixes that only call for water and a good shake.
As a dietitian, I often recommend smoothies as a convenient way to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your day. And with a scoop of your favorite plant butter or protein powder of choice, it also makes for a great pre- or post-workout treat. While you can whip up your own concoction at home, having the convenience of a smoothie delivery subscription is a surefire way to keep you on track with your health goals.
I set out to test the best smoothie delivery services to share what makes each one unique and delicious. From there, I narrowed down my seven favorites. Read on to see which one best fits your lifestyle, dietary needs and palate.
Can’t wait for the doorbell to ring? Sip on one of our best smoothie recipes in the meantime.

Daily Harvest is on a mission to make eating fruits and vegetables easier. Their smoothies are nourishing, meticulously crafted and seriously delicious. Their website offers a “tastes like” descriptor after each smoothie pick, making it difficult to narrow down my choices. They all sound so good! Ultimately, I opted for nine delicious treats, including Carrot + Cinnamon, Mint + Cacao and Banana + Almond, which promised flavors reminiscent of carrot cake, mint chip ice cream and banana nut bread, respectively.
The smoothies were incredibly easy to prepare. The ingredients are all pre-portioned (and frozen at peak ripeness to lock in optimal flavor and nutrients), so all you have to do is fill the Daily Harvest cup to the top with your preferred liquid and pour it into your best blender or Vitamix. Then, simply pour it back into the cup and enjoy. (As an added perk, the lid contains a perforated hole for a straw, perfect for taking on the go!)
I used almond milk for one smoothie and water for the next and was incredibly impressed with both the flavor and texture of each. Despite the frozen ingredients, the smoothie tasted so fresh, as if it had been whipped up at a local smoothie shop. And the unique flavor profiles were something I likely couldn’t replicate on my own!
The only downside is the amount of freezer space these treats take up—each one-serving smoothie cup resembled that of a pint-size ice cream container. That being said, I like that each container doubles as a smoothie cup, meaning one less thing to clean.
Pros:
Cons:
The smoothies from Splendid Spoon provide all the superfoods and fruit you need for your day in one pre-blended bottle. In fact, each 16-ounce bottle actually contains two servings, meaning you can have half in the morning and the rest in the evening. There’s no need to add anything and no need for a blender—simply sip and go.
All 20 unique smoothie options—from Fruity Greens and Carrot Ginger to Chocolate Cherry and Blackberry Basil—are plant-based, gluten-free and non-GMO. If these smoothies taste healthy, that’s because they are. They’re jam-packed with diverse good-for-you vegetables, fruits, seeds and other superfood ingredients unlikely on your radar, let alone in your fridge. (We’re looking at you, chlorella and spirulina!)
That being said, those expecting a sweeter smoothie or a milder flavor profile may be taken aback by the more bitter taste (though you could easily sprinkle in your favorite flavored protein powder for a little sweetness).
Despite being pre-made, I was impressed with the shelf life of the smoothies. I received my delivery on the first day of June and had until the end of July to enjoy them. One thing to note (which the bottles do warn) is that some separation of ingredients may occur, which is completely natural. Just shake and enjoy!
Pros:
Cons:
If you’re looking for a smoothie that packs more protein, Shake Please is for you. Similar to Daily Harvest, the ingredients arrive frozen in ready-to-blend cups. But where Shake Please differs is each fruit cup also includes its own designated protein packet, delivering upwards of 24 to 36 grams of protein per serving.
While there are only four flavors available—Vanilla Berry, Strawberry Banana, Pineapple Berry and Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana—each one is so tasty that we don’t think you’ll mind having them on repeat. That being said, the ingredients are fairly minimal. For example, the Strawberry Banana smoothie cup is truly just that—frozen strawberries and bananas, something I could easily whip up at home. But there’s just something more inviting about having it all ready-to-blend in a fun to-go cup (and did we mention that your first order comes with two reusable straws?).
The only downside? As someone who prefers plant protein powder, there’s no alternative to the whey protein they offer. Additionally, if you have any food allergies, these smoothies might not be for you; the protein matrix contains egg, milk, soy and wheat. Otherwise, the Shake Please smoothies are as convenient as your favorite post-gym protein bar.

Cons:
The ready-to-blend smoothie mixes from Frozen Garden are individually packaged with a mix of 100% real fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and spices—without any supplements or gimmicks.
What makes this brand stand out from other smoothie delivery services is its focus on local, farm-fresh ingredients. Frozen Garden sources as many ingredients as possible from farmers within 100 miles of their facility in Indiana.
You can purchase smoothies in individual flavors or curated variety packs, including: New to Smoothies, Fruit Smoothies, Seasonal Smoothies, Protein Smoothies, Green Smoothies, Keto Smoothies and Smoothie Professional.
To prepare my smoothie, I simply emptied the frozen contents into the blender, used the designated fill line on the pouch to add my liquid of choice (in this case, water) and blended. I first tested out the Jungle Breeze, which was as refreshing as it sounds. Having already frozen ingredients truly makes for one chilled beverage, which is exactly what I needed on a hot Arizona summer day.

In our quest for the best smoothie delivery subscriptions, we didn’t omit the delicious smoothie add-ons that accompany meal delivery services. After all, if you enjoy the satisfaction of smoothies delivered right to your door, chances are you also may currently be enjoying the convenience of meals at your doorstep, so why not marry the two?
Our Editor tested Hungryroot for three months and gave it raving reviews, so I was excited to get my hands on a few of their smoothies. And that I did, sampling Acai Berry, Mango Orange and Super Blue. I especially like that they contain no added sugar and no filler.
The Super Blue smoothie was a favorite of mine. Aside from tasting great (think bananas with a hint of cinnamon), it contains 12 grams of plant protein, spirulina (a natural detoxifier with anti-inflammatory and immune-supporting properties) and probiotics (which help support gut health). The other two were also refreshing, each providing an excellent boost of Vitamin C.
In addition to smoothies, Hungryroot also has a variety of protein-packed shakes.
Pros:
Cons:
Factor is known for their keto-friendly meal kits; so it only makes sense that they also curated a few keto-friendly shakes. Just like with Hungryroot, you’ll need to order Factor’s meals to take advantage of their add-on shakes and smoothies.
What I love: The shakes are 100 percent plant-based, utilizing a proprietary pea protein blend. For those following a keto-friendly diet, they check off the boxes of a high protein, high fat, low carb snack—containing just two grams of net carbs and zero added sugar. They also contain a prebiotic fiber blend to support gut health and help ensure keto followers are getting adequate fiber.
What I don’t love: While they come in yummy flavors like Vanilla Cake and Chocolate Brownie, they fall more into the category of a tasty treat than a plant-powered smoothie (which is fine, as these are technically shakes and not smoothies, which Factor does also offer, albeit they’re not keto-friendly). But one serving contains 13 grams of saturated fat, which already puts you over half your daily recommended value for the day (if following a 2,000 calorie diet).

Kencko smoothies are unlike any smoothie I’ve ever made before. My delivery arrived with 20 pouches of shelf-stable powder alongside a portable mixing bottle. The pouches—which were labeled as “Blues,” “Greens,” “Reds” and “Purples”—each contain 2.5 servings of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. And Kencko promises that’s all they contain. No filler, no additives, just 100 percent organic plants.
The instructions were simple (and, dare I say, fun). Massage the packet to break up any clumps, add chilled water or plant milk to your bottle, add the packet and shake until smooth. You can either enjoy your smoothie right away, or refrigerate and drink within 24 hours.
I tried out the “Reds” smoothie, combining it with chilled almond milk. This particular freeze-dried concoction consisted of various fruits, chia seeds and a pinch of ginger (I especially like how each pouch lists the exact ingredients and their quantity). After shaking, it recommends letting it sit for roughly one minute to hydrate.
The verdict? While not all of the smoothie mixed completely (and there were a few noticeable clumps), the taste was not bad! I’ll admit that it wasn’t my favorite taste of all the smoothies on this list, but for a shelf-stable, on-the-go smoothie option, it truly is impressive that Kencko was able to pack in this many organic ingredients without any preservatives, additives or extra fluff.
While I’ll admit I was a little hesitant about my smoothie coming from a powder, I immediately imagined all the scenarios that would call for an on-the-go smoothie mix: Camping trips, hotel stays, road trips, etc. With Kencko’s smoothies, there truly would be no more excuses about getting in your daily fix of fruits and vegetables while traveling (especially at less than $3 per pouch!).
Kencko also offers plant-protein pouches to be mixed in with any of their smoothies.
Here are some considerations when selecting the best smoothie delivery subscription for your lifestyle, goals and budget:
As a culinary dietitian, I have nearly a decade of experience working with restaurants and food manufacturers to provide nutrient analysis and label consulting for thousands of menu items and retail goods. As a result, I’m no stranger to scrutinizing an ingredient statement or nutrition facts label to ensure our recommendations are quality products from reputable brands. I’ve evaluated everything from the best healthy snack subscription to the best mushroom coffee brands on the market.
I rounded up the most popular smoothie delivery companies on the market while also including smoothie add-ons from popular meal delivery services such as Hungryroot and Factor. From there, I evaluated them on a variety of factors, including delivery, ingredients, flavor profile, variety of options, ease of prep, storage life and price. When prep was necessary, I utilized my Vitamix blender, chilled plant milk or water. In the end, I narrowed down my top seven favorites, with choices spanning from ready-to-blend concoctions, pre-made smoothies and one shelf-stable powder.
While it’s arguably cheaper to make your own smoothies at home, smoothie delivery subscriptions offer a quick and convenient (and often tastier) way to pack in your fruits and veggies.
Ultimately, this depends on what is in your smoothie and your health goals. Look for smoothies that contain whole fruits and vegetables as opposed to juices or any added sugars. For added satiety, ensure your smoothie contains fiber, protein (such as Greek yogurt or your favorite protein powder) and healthy fats (such as nut butters, avocado or chia seeds). That being said, don’t overdo it with ingredients just because they’re good for you. You wouldn’t eat three bananas in one sitting, so don’t load your smoothie with three bananas—a half serving will do!
