I’ve tried various cups throughout the years for our family’s smoothies. I like to stay away from plastic whenever possible, but after years of frustration with our kids breaking various smoothie cups we’ve tried and our family’s collective hatred of the way stainless steel and glass straws bang into our teeth, I decided to cave and find a plastic smoothie cup that met all the criteria important to us. I wanted them to be freezable so that I could prep smoothie ingredients and freeze for quick morning smoothies, I didn’t want cups that came in crazy colors or patterns that our teens would consider childish and I wanted them to be big enough for prepped ingredients (because the smoothie ingredients take up a lot more room than the smoothies themselves do once blended). Having extra wide straws wasn’t one of my criteria, but now that we have these, that’s probably one of our favorite parts of these cups! My kids can use them for boba tea when we make it, which means we can finally stop buying the disposable boba tea straws. Huge win! And drinking smoothies out of wide straws works SO much better! We’ll see how they hold up over time, but I was pleasantly surprised by their quality when we received them. Definitely the best smoothie cup we’ve tried through the years (and we’ve tried A LOT of them)!
