Story Time

"Okay, so once upon a time, there was these friends: 1/3 of pomegranates, 1/3 of raspberries, 1/3 cup of blueberries, and, well, you know the rest of the crew. At 5:59 AM, right before the doors of Trader Joe's were about to unlock, everyone shot a quick glance at one another, and mouthed, "This is the day," with a subtle nod. They don't know how it happened, but they had become the food that everyone seemed to just... miss. As the expiration dates crept closer and closer, and the hours ticked on, you could practically smell ethylene gasses in the air. The crew was starting to get nervous. Poor, lonely, stand- alone banana's skin started to bruise with pain as he watched all of his friends get snatched right from under him. Who would want just one banana when they can get five for the same price? Perhaps the young lady and her mother out, smoothie shopping? Possibly, but spirits were down and the crew had come to know that the woman always seem to have this discerning taste to them. They know when a banana has had his say.

But, not this dynamic duo- they figured it was a long day, all they wanted was just to get home and relax. So they wung it, and off the check out counter victoriously flew the ecstatic crew. What was in store for them? They had no idea, but were just so happy to be chosen. From the store to the blender, the crew mixed and swirled beautifully together, creating a nutritiously delicious beverage that filled it's consumers with just about as much joy as they felt. And they all live happily ever after... The End."

The Cold, Hard Truth

Beautiful story. Very inspiring! And to be honest, this drink was just as good as the story told! Very easy to make and very easy to drink. As opposed to those nasty green concoctions that people tell you is good for you. I'm sure it is, but by the time it gets into my stomach, my body is ready to return it, if you know what I mean. (I mean "throw it up," if you didn't get the reference.) This yummy beverage is nothing like that. It doesn't have any yogurt to give it some consistency so, if anything, it's more of a juice, rather than a traditional smoothie. Although it is smooth, so would it be considered a smoothie?... Oh, I guess it's up to you to decide!
