Home-based business Two Sisters’ Smoothie opens brick-and-mortar shop at Marine Terrace

Two Sisters’ Smoothie first started out of a landed home in Kembangan, operating as a home-based business for one year until it closed in late December 2025. 

It came onto the scene in 2024, and rode the wave that followed after the Covid-19 boom in home-based businesses. This is one of those stories where a home-based brand grows beyond its initial traction, moving into a brick-and-mortar space of its own.

The brand serves colourful, Instagram- and TikTok-worthy fruit blends, inspired in part by the viral Erewhon smoothies on TikTok. The sisters noticed that mainstream chains don’t lean into local flavours, so they experimented with fruits such as mandarin orange and lychee — and it quickly went viral.

Now, you’ll find them right outside Marine Terrace MRT at a cosy neighbourhood block. 

Inside, it’s a compact, no-frills space — a counter to order, serve, and blend.

Its iconic camping chairs, a staple from the home-based days, are lined up outside the store. It’s still a hang out spot. But now, it includes a few neighbourhood uncles, too.

Why move?

Su Ling, one half of the founding duo, tells us that when they first started, running it from home made sense. It was lean and manageable, and allowed them to test the waters.

But over time, demand grew beyond what a home setup could comfortably handle. There were more events, more returning customers, and a steady stream of messages asking: “Where can we find you?”

At some point, it started feeling like something that needed its own space.

Besides scaling up production, the move was about something more. 

Moving into a brick-and-mortar space comes from the desire to be more consistent, for a clearer brand presence, and a chance to connect with the community in a way that feels more grounded and long-term.

“More importantly, we wanted to create a space, not just sell smoothies,” Su Ling says. “A place where people could drop by post-workout, after school, or on weekends, and feel like it’s part of their routine”.

The change

Moving into a brick-and-mortar space also meant navigating a whole new set of new challenges. 

The toughest part, Su Ling says, was everything that came before opening. From renovations to sourcing the right equipment, there were more — and new — operational details to consider, than before.

Once the doors opened, things fell into place — with a dedicated space, production became more streamlined and scalable, while quality control was tighter. The inventory and preps felt more structured, too.

And perhaps more importantly, customers now know exactly where to find them — no more waiting for pop-ups or events.

The menu

With the new space came more room to experiment and expand the menu. It now carries more than 20 smoothies from Two Sisters’ original line-up, plus a handful that are on a seasonal basis — an expansion of their home-based menu, which rotated regularly and featured only certain flavours at a time.

The current menu includes blends that lean functional — some focused on recovery, others towards energy and nutrition — all while keeping flavours enjoyable and approachable.

You’ll notice that most drinks have made the move from their home-based business days, too — familiar favourites that have followed them into this new space.

There are eight smoothie series on the permanent menu — coconut, citrus, Sin Less, protein, strawberry, mango, watermelon and acai. 

Some drinks are seasonal, such as its popular strawberry matcha, so if that’s what your heart’s set on, just check with the counter.

Su Ling says the bestsellers tend to strike a clear balance between creamy texture, natural sweetness, and a clear health angle. The most telling sign has been repeat orders. When customers come back asking specifically for the same blend, that’s when they know it’s working.

Drinks start from S$6.90 for a small drink, with a S$1 top-up for a larger cup.

We’ll admit: It’s slightly on the steep side, especially considering the neighbourhood. 

But the blends are great, clearly well-tested and properly tweaked, and made with fresh ingredients. You’re getting a solid cup.

One of my favourites, as a coconut person, is the Green Flag (S$7.90) — coconut, pineapple, banana, coconut flesh, green spirulina and coconut water base. It is light, tropical and not overly sweet.

The brand is especially known for its strawberry blends, and we get why. The strawberry Glaze (S$6.90) — strawberry, banana, yoghurt, strawberry jam, and apple juice base — hits the right balance.

Just sweet enough, with the jam adding a slight jelly-like texture that made it too easy to finish.

Squeeze Squad (S$7.90), with mango, lime, yoghurt, aloe vera, and coconut water base, is from the citrus series. It’s definitely refreshing, with a tang that works with the creaminess.

On the more indulgent side, the Biscoff Baddie (S$8.90) — Biscoff, banana, yoghurt, protein powder, Biscoff crunch, and almond milk — leans dessert-like, but stays away from being too cloying.

Two Sisters’ Smoothie proves that a homegrown brand can grow without losing its community charm. We’re quite excited to see where this next chapter will take them.
