"Costco's food court fruit smoothie was beloved by many. Made with four servings of fruit, including strawberry, blackberry, and acai, the fruit smoothie was viewed as the perfect reward for the end of a shopping trip for some. For others, it could never hold a candle to its predecessor: the berry smoothie. That one was very similar, but it had a slightly different ingredient mix and a slightly sweeter taste."
"But both the berry smoothie and the fruit smoothie are now history, because, as of 2025, there is a new flavor in the Costco food court, the strawberry banana smoothie. As you have likely already guessed, that one is made with strawberries and a banana puree, among other ingredients."
Costco regularly updates its product offerings by adding new items and discontinuing existing ones. In early 2026, the retailer introduced products like Forager Project dairy-free Greek yogurt, Realsy nut butter-filled dates, and giant lemon custard pies. However, the store has also removed several beloved items from shelves and food courts in recent years, including smoothies, beverages, and bread products. The fruit smoothie, previously a popular food court item made with four servings of fruit including strawberry, blackberry, and acai, has been replaced with a strawberry banana smoothie. While some customers appreciate the new offerings, others express disappointment about discontinued products, though certain changes like soda fountain modifications have received positive reception from shoppers.
