Smoothie King has introduced a new product called the “SLEEPY GIRLzzz Smoothie,” which was inspired by the popular “sleepy girl mocktail” that gained attention on TikTok.
The “sleepy girl mocktail” has become a viral sensation on social media with over 50,000,000 views. It is described as a simple tart cherry pre-bedtime mocktail that is said to taste great and help promote sleep.
The recipe for the mocktail, as explained by The New York Times, involves combining magnesium, seltzer, and tart cherry juice. It is claimed that consuming this mocktail can result in a restful night’s sleep.
Tart cherry juice has been marketed as a potential sleep aid for some time, although there is limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness.
A sleep expert from the University of California recommends a wind-down period without screens before bedtime to help people relax and prepare for sleep.
The viral mocktail has gained popularity, particularly among those participating in “Dry” or “Damp January” who are seeking alternatives to alcohol.
Smoothie King’s version of the mocktail, the SLEEPY GIRLzzz Smoothie, contains real fruit and nutritious ingredients such as bananas, tart cherries (a natural source of melatonin), dairy whey blend, pear passion fruit juice blend, and turbinado sugar.
The SLEEPY GIRLzzz Smoothie is now available at participating Smoothie King locations across the country, with most stores open until 9 p.m.
In the Indianapolis area, the new smoothie can be found at several Smoothie King locations, and additional details about store hours, the full menu, and online ordering can be found on the Smoothie King website.
