All 3 sizes of the Gladiators have the same amount of protein although the fruit and ice ratios differ. The High Protein smoothies and the Shredders can range from 25-55 grams of protein depending on size.

Yes it has Sucralose. Not a lot of protein powders don't have it


That stuff is terrible for you.

I use Bob's Red Mill. No artificial sweetener or stevia. The ingredient list is almonds.

I briefly dated a chick that worked there. She was white as a ghost with blue veined breasts. She was thicc but not too pudgy. Just like the free smoothies she gave me.

Smoothie King isn’t just about the drinks, it’s also about the lifestyle.

I worked at a smoothie king in 1997. We didn’t have a drink called the gladiator back then. Or if we did, I don’t remember it. But it doesn’t matter because all drinks were the same. Protein is expensive and tastes bad, and sugar is cheap and tastes good. So the decision was made by the top minds in the organization to put a lot of sugar and little to no protein in every drink. We were basically Starbucks but instead of sugar with dogshit coffee it was sugar with frozen fruit marketed for people trying to get in shape with only 1990s level of nutrition education. There were all sort of crazy fad diets back then and people thought blenders made food healthier. I hope this was helpful.
