The Fresh Monkee is a fast-casual health franchise that specializes in made-to-order protein shakes, smoothies, and light snacks crafted with whole-food ingredients and minimal added sugar.
The concept focuses on “clean, healthy, and filling” shakes that appeal to fitness enthusiasts, students, professionals, and families looking for nutritious grab-and-go options.
The menu features vegan and gluten-free selections, and the franchise stands out by making protein the foundation of every shake, rather than just an add-on, resulting in a smoother and more satisfying product.
Founded in 2014 in Wethersfield, Connecticut, The Fresh Monkee was created by Judy Flynn to meet the growing demand for convenient yet healthy meal alternatives. Its corporate headquarters are located in Glastonbury, Connecticut, under The Fresh Monkee Franchising, LLC.
The company began franchising in 2022, expanding its footprint beyond its home state to multiple regions across the United States.

The Fresh Monkee Franchise, LLC provides limited territory protection to its franchisees. Each franchisee is granted a specific geographic area called the “Territory,” within which the franchisor agrees not to establish or license another Fresh Monkee restaurant.
However, this protection only applies to physical restaurant locations and does not restrict the franchisor from selling products through other channels like online platforms.
The franchisor retains the right to advertise, sell, or distribute products and services outside the designated territory, including through digital means or non-traditional venues. Additionally, The Fresh Monkee may develop restaurants in adjacent or nearby territories, which could potentially impact market overlap.
