free smoothie – National Smoothie Day lands Sunday, June 21, and multiple smoothie chains are rolling out freebies and discounts—from Smoothie King’s free Hydration Watermelon Smoothie to Jamba deals and Playa Bowls’ color-changing cup offer.
By the time Saturday fades and Sunday rolls in, smoothie lovers will have one more reason to head out—National Smoothie Day. This year, the holiday falls on June 21, the same day as the summer solstice, and it also lands on Father’s Day.
For shoppers who don’t want to just celebrate the season, several popular chains are offering discounts and freebies built around their rewards programs and app sign-ups. Here’s where the deals are set to show up—and what you’ll need to claim them.

So it’s like Father’s Day but with smoothies? Guess the dads get diabetes in a cup.
Wait June 21 is also summer solstice?? I saw something about Jamba too but I didn’t read the details. Do you have to download like 3 apps to get the free one or what.
Free smoothie no purchase required sounds kinda fake lol. Like Planet says you can claim the Lunar Lemonade if you sign up by Friday… but are they gonna ask for proof you were born on the right date or something. Also why are all these places acting like rewards programs are law.
I don’t trust these “free” deals because they always exclude something. Like Smoothie King is free but only at participating locations and only if you have the app, and then Tropical Cafe excludes random items and you have to buy the bowl first? I just wanted a smoothie man. Also the color-changing cup thing sounds like marketing more than food.
