Strawberry-banana smoothies show up at ABQ thanks to Keva Juice
Keva Juice sits airside in Terminal 1 at Albuquerque International Sunport, giving ABQ a straightforward fruit-smoothie option alongside the trendier cold‑pressed spots in the same concourse. It’s a regional New Mexico chain, so locals recognize the menu boards right away and grab their usual mixes before a Southwest or American departure. Expect the standard fruit blends, protein boosts, and a shorter list of add‑ins than you’d see at a full city Keva.
Menu boards here mirror core flavors from town locations, including strawberry‑banana combos and tropical blends, but with fewer customization extras. Prices run on the higher side for a smoothie kiosk in a medium airport; plan on airport markup over street locations in Albuquerque. One regular in the reviews says they order the same smoothie here that they do in the city and call the flavor “close enough” for a pre‑flight fix.
Watch out for texture: several Google reviews for this ABQ location complain about drinks coming out thinner or more ice‑heavy than at off‑airport Keva shops, especially during busier afternoon banks around 2–4 p.m. If that matters to you, ask them to go easy on the ice and add an extra fruit scoop. Lines move fairly quickly since drinks blend in under two minutes, but with only one or two blenders running, a four‑person queue can still eat 10 minutes.
Quick tip: decide your size and flavor while you’re still five or six people from the register; it speeds things up and gives you time to ask for tweaks so you don’t end up with a watered‑down $8 smoothie.
