The drink is &#8220;packed with electrolytes and enhanced hydration,&#8221; a news release says.<\/p>\n<p>The collab is &#8220;unhinged,&#8221; Grillo&#8217;s Chief Commercial Officer Mark Luker said in a statement. But also, it allows Grillo&#8217;s to &#8220;talk about the functional benefits of pickles.&#8221; They&#8217;re high in Vitamin K, help with digestion and may ease muscle cramps, according to WebMD.<\/p>\n<p>Grillo&#8217;s recently released a pickle beer with Pabst Blue Ribbon.<\/p>\n<p>It also posted an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DXiJlIdDXtZ\/\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Instagram video of pickles pulverized in a blender<\/a>, calling it &#8220;breakfast of champions.&#8221; (This lumpy liquid isn&#8217;t the Smoothie King final product.) The pickle smoothie is made with Grillo\u2019s pickles, bananas, kale, apple juice blend, kiwi apple juice blend, electrolyte blend and coconut water. Sounds like a puckery punch for pickle people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Smoothie King&#8217;s 20-ounce pickle drinks cost $5.99.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re sold at all 1,200 locations nationwide, including those in Dallas-Fort Worth.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Would you drink a pickle smoothie \u2014 a beverage that&#8217;s the same green color as the nauseated face&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289367,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,96857,89307],"class_list":["post-289366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-tp-breakfast","tag-tp-restaurants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
