Planet Smoothie Nutrition Calculator
What the chain publishes for its own menu, and what the same drinks cost you once you build them in your own blender.
Planet Smoothie publishes its own nutrition figures in a PDF on its website, so you can look up any drink at any cup size — the table below pulls a spread of them. What the chain does not give you is a way to change the build. Rebuild their style at home and a single serving lands between 169 and 520 calories, depending almost entirely on the base.

Planet Smoothie does publish nutrition figures, but not in a calculator. They sit in a single PDF on their own site, listing every drink at each cup size. There is no builder that lets you swap a base and watch the number move, which is what most people searching for a Planet Smoothie nutrition calculator are actually after.
The menu is shorter than Smoothie King's or Jamba's, and it leans on a handful of bases: orange sherbet, nonfat frozen yogurt, nonfat milk, fruit juice, and a whey blast on the protein and meal replacement drinks. Which one your drink is built on matters more than which fruit is in it. The table below shows how far apart two similar-sounding drinks can sit.
So the second half of this page rebuilds their best-known drinks in a home blender, ingredient by ingredient, and totals them from the same database the tools here run on. Change the milk, drop the sherbet, add a scoop, and the number moves in front of you. The smoothie calorie calculator does the same job for any recipe you type in.
What Planet Smoothie publishes for its own menu
Every row here is the 20 oz cup, the smallest of the three sizes Planet Smoothie lists; the same drinks are also sold in 32 oz and 44 oz, and the kids menu uses a 12 oz cup. The sugar column is total sugars, so fruit sugar and sweetened bases are pooled together — added sugars are listed separately in the same document.
Building it yourself comes in 91 calories under the menu version. Mango, peaches and bananas over orange sherbet.
The same drinks, rebuilt in a home blender
One serving each, built to land near the size of their smallest cup. Totals are summed from the ingredient database behind the calculators on this site — these are our recipes, not Planet Smoothie’s, and nothing here is taken from their sheet.
What actually moves the number on a Planet Smoothie
Several drinks on their favorites list are built on orange sherbet rather than yogurt or milk. Planet Smoothie's own ingredient statement for that sherbet opens with water and sugar, then high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup and cream. It reads as fruit in the cup and behaves like a sweetened dairy ice on the label.
Their nonfat frozen yogurt is sweetened with sorbitol, maltodextrin, sucralose and acesulfame potassium rather than sugar. It gives the drink body and a little dairy protein without loading the sugar column the way sherbet does. When a yogurt-based drink still runs high on sugar, the fruit and the added sugar elsewhere in the recipe are doing it.
Planet Smoothie sells the same recipe in three cup sizes and lists all three in the nutrition PDF. Going up a size does not change the build, only how much of it you drink, so calories, sugar and protein all climb together. If you are comparing a Planet Smoothie to anything else, check you are comparing the same cup.
The protein and meal replacement drinks are built on whey protein isolate rather than more fruit. That is why the meal replacement row in the menu table above runs lowest on sugar and highest on protein while still sitting near the top on calories. Protein is a different kind of calorie, not an absent one.
Peanut butter turns up across the favorites, energy and meal replacement sections, and it moves calories harder per spoonful than any fruit in the cup. The drink at the top of the calorie column above is a peanut butter one, and so is the heaviest of our rebuilds. Nothing else on the menu concentrates energy that way.
How to order lighter, or rebuild it at home
The counter can tell you whether a drink is built on sherbet, frozen yogurt, milk or juice. That single answer tells you more about where the drink will land than the fruit in its name does. Ask before you order, not after.
Dropping a cup size changes nothing about how the drink tastes and everything about what is in it. It is the one lever that works on every item on the menu, including the ones where there is nothing to substitute.
At home the sherbet does two jobs, cold and sweet. Frozen fruit covers the cold, and a smaller pour of juice covers most of the sweet. That is the whole trick behind the mango rebuild in our table — same fruit, no dairy ice.
Greek yogurt gives you thickness and protein, unsweetened almond milk gives you a neutral liquid, and frozen cauliflower gives you body with almost no flavor. Swap those in for whole milk and part of the fruit and the lightest rebuild in our table lands near half the close copy.
Change one ingredient and watch the number move
Type any smoothie into the calculator, swap the base, and see what it does to calories and sugar before you blend it.
