Carolina Smoothies is my favorite post workout treat in Charlotte. They're conveniently located in Dilworth and have a relatively wide variety of smoothies, energy bars, kombucha, and trail mix to "treat yo self" after a good sweat sesh.
While making a smoothie at home is usually the healthiest and most economical route, Carolina Smoothies gives you the option to splurge (I splurged with a peanut butter slam last Saturday) or watch your wasteline with a fiber-filled shot of wheatgrass. Be prepared for a bit of a line and a 5-8 minute wait, it's a small business so they usually only have 2 people making smoothies, running the cash register, etc.
Similar to the smoothie chain stores, there is no seating -but Carolina Smoothies is a great place to grab a smoothie to enjoy on the go!
