The Walk-Back-From-the-Beach Smoothie Guide

October 23, 2026 · 2 min read

Palmy’s drinks menu says its smoothie list was built for the walk back from the beach, and we can confirm that’s exactly when a smoothie hits hardest. You’re salty, a little sun-tired and very thirsty, and suddenly a cold, thick smoothie is the only thing in the world that matters.

There are three smoothies on the board, and every single one is vegan and gluten-free. Here’s how to pick yours.

Blue Moon

The Blue Moon blends banana, almond butter, dates and blue spirulina into the thickest, most dessert-like smoothie on the menu. The dates give it a natural, caramel-like sweetness, while the almond butter makes it filling enough to count as breakfast. And yes, it really is that blue.

This is the one to order when you’re hungry rather than just thirsty. It’s ideal after a long surf or a morning workout, when you need something that will actually keep you going for a few hours.

The Cure

The Cure combines carrot, pineapple, turmeric, ginger and orange, and it’s the brightest, zingiest smoothie of the lot. The name is a little cheeky. We’re not promising it will cure anything, but on a hot afternoon, it’s an absolute ripper.

If you like fresh, citrusy flavours and don’t want anything too heavy, this is your smoothie. The ginger gives it a gentle warmth that makes it surprisingly good even on cooler days.

PB Local

PB Local is made with peanut butter, banana, activated charcoal, maple and almond milk. The charcoal gives it a dramatic dark colour, but it’s the peanut butter and maple that make people come back and order it again. It tastes like a treat, and it’s the one most likely to win over smoothie sceptics.

Grab-and-go extras

If you’re in a hurry or want something to take home, the grab-and-go shelf has a few extras worth knowing about. You’ll find ginger and turmeric shots for a quick, spicy boost, and a lineup of cold-pressed juices with names like Field of Greens, Pipe Cleaner and The Pixie.

There’s also kombucha in berry, mango and ginger flavours, plus Olipop and Yerba Madre for the road. Any of them can be added to an online order, which makes it easy to stock up on the way home from the beach.

Quick answers
