Basically there is sugar hidden in everything on the menu except for perhaps the Breakfast Taco and The Pesto Pita Pizza, which both come with other carbs (pita bread).

Tahini has 3.2 carbs per tablespoon. If you're eating a low-carb diet, that's pretty low carb. It's also Super-low sugar, since the only sugar would be in the 4-6 drops of lemon juice - less than half a carb, less than 9 calories worth of sugar.
That said - I loathe avocado and blueberries almost equally. I love a good hummus but I'd rather have it with falafel than avocado and kale. Tropical Smoothie is right down the street from me, so I wouldn't ever go all the way to Sumter just for a smoothie. I also am not a fan of foods made to pretend to be other foods - such as coconut "bacon" (quotation marks theirs). Since you pay a premium for the combination of foods included in those combinations, I'd rather just go somewhere else, or make my own at home.
