The McDonald's Kiwi Pineapple Banana Smoothie is Summery
Michael Hemsworth — April 18, 2023 — Lifestyle
The McDonald's Kiwi Pineapple Banana Smoothie has been launched at participating locations in Canada as a new refreshment for patrons to try out this spring and summer. The drink is being added to the brand's existing range of Real Fruit Smoothies, and boasts a recipe consisting of real fruit puree with notes of kiwi, pineapple and banana in the mix. The smoothie gets its creaminess from yogurt and is paired with ice to help mellow out the fruit-forward flavors, while also increasing the frozen profile of the drink.
The McDonald's Kiwi Pineapple Banana Smoothie builds on the success of the brand's existing smoothies and is arriving to coincide with the return of warm weather as a great refreshment option.
