Smoothies offer so much too people. There are millions of people who start their whole day off by getting smoothies because its a jump start. To make it even more legitimate, the smoothies offer free boosts, anything from energy, to protein, to immune. It is so cool. It substitutes for a meal perfectly. If you are sick you can get one and get all the vitamins from it and get the immune booster, if your tired and just got done playing sports or doing some sort of activity it provides refreshment and you can get the energy booster to renew yourself. To even go beyond those standpoints, Smoothies are just delicious. There are so many different flavors to revel in so its almost everlasting. The most popular of all the places that serve these smoothies to my knowledge is Jamba Juice, it is spread out across California in all sorts of states, but you have places like Robeks and Juice it Up doing the same sort of thing. This enables people to have more access to them also. The thing that is most surprising about this is that I don't remember smoothies being so popular in the 1990's and playing as much of a role in our lives as they do now.
If you think about the concept of a smoothie, it is quite fascinating. Taking a mixture of all sorts of fruits and even special smoothies with gummy bears in them and things like that and just adding a scoop of ice and blending it, you have a delicious and pretty nutritious drink. You can go as far as calling it a meal because it can totally substitute for one and they are very filling. Think about how many peoples routines consist of consuming a smoothie to start off their day or end their day.
This just hit me today, all the things I just went over. It astounds me because i hadn't realized what an impact smoothies have had on us Americans. They slowly just took over and have become a part of our lives and I brought this up because I wanted to point that out. People have smoothies and we are reliant on them now, just think about if they took smoothies away from you, how much would this disappoint or disgruntle you at this point.
I think it's very true that smoothies often times constitute a meal. You can easily pay the same amount and be more filled up with a smoothy than fast food. And the energy shots are good pick-me-ups for all the working stiffs. Then there are sports clubs who make energy and protein shakes to cater to their ripped consumers. Those promise high protein to help boost muscle mass. This is a bologna industry that does much of nothing. But people rely on it and feel good about eating them, so it serves a purpose.
ReplyDeleteIt is really interesting how you brought up smoothie in this soft drink generation. Many people these days are really into the soft drink such as Sprite, Coke and etc. People just do not know how good the smoothie is. They just know it as “oh it is just another drink.” However, they do not know the important fact that smoothies are really healthy for your body. It nourishes the body with many vitamins and minerals. Also the smoothies have great tasting. Most of the medicines people take are good for the body but not really delicious. However, smoothies are really delicious AND good for the body. I really enjoyed reading this and I hope that many people will start to drink more delicious and healthy smoothies!
