DIY Smoothies at Japan’s 7-Eleven
Fresh Smoothies with a Twist
Japan’s 7-Eleven stores offer a unique way to enjoy freshly made smoothies using their DIY smoothie machines. This innovative system combines convenience with healthy, delicious flavors.
How to Make Your Smoothie
Purchase: Locate the frozen fruit cups in the store’s freezer section. These cups contain pre-measured fruit blends and are similar in size to iced coffee cups.
Flavors: Options include Strawberry Banana Soy, Double Berry Yoghurt, Mango Pineapple, Banana Juice, and Green Smoothie.
Price: Each smoothie costs ¥300 (around $2.35 USD).
Using the Smoothie Machine
After purchasing, scan the cup’s barcode at the DIY smoothie machine, usually located near the registers. Remove the cup lid, place it in the machine, and close the door. In under a minute, the machine blends the frozen fruit into a smooth, refreshing drink.
Once finished, simply add a lid and straw, and enjoy your freshly made smoothie!
Where to Find It
Not all 7-Eleven stores in Japan have this service. Use the 7-Eleven website to search for locations offering the セブンカフェスムージー option. This feature is perfect for those on the go who crave a quick, affordable, and healthy treat.
