Nearly every type of smoothie is gluten-free but they have virtually no GF food. There is a menu posted with marked GF options.

Beware, there are gluten free smoothies listed, but every time I have been here, I have been glutened. This place is definitely not safe.

I had a Supergreens Caesar Salad with grilled chicken, shredded Parmesan and tomatoes on Romaine & Spinach. You can substitute the chicken for turkey or bacon if you want and there are other kinds of cheeses too. I asked them to leave off the parmesan crisps cuz I didn’t know if those were GF and the dressing of choice is served on the side. It comes with a choice of side and are several GF options available. I had a Sunrise Sunset Smoothie (strawberries, pineapple, mango and OJ) which was super tasty. No stomach issues.

Real fruit smoothies are gluten free. A few of the other blends have ingredients that could be questionable, like oats, so we stuck to the simple fruit-only smoothies. Employees were helpful and willing to wash the blender again just to be extra careful.
