As the temps soar higher and higher and the beaches, pools, and lakes call us away from the hot mess of the city, a few of us poor working stiffs remain stuck among the buildings and pavement, schlepping to and from the office.This does not make us happy.
We work any angle we can to make it feel just a bit more like the lazy, hazy, dog days of summer we remember from our youth – popsicles, ice cream, sunburns, ponytails, and when we’re too hot to handle a lunch but need something to get us through the rest of the workday? Smoothies.
Have you ever noticed there aren’t enough smoothie joints in Boston?
In a desperate attempt to fill this smoothie craving last week we headed toward Starbucks, the only smoothie selling store for miles around. We realize Starbucks IS a coffee shop and we know we shouldn’t have expected the worlds greatest smoothie. But still. If you put it on the menu you best be able to deliver right?
Well, let’s just say after trying the Vivanno Smoothies, we’d love our $4.20 back.
We opted for the orange/mango/banana smoothie. Sounds light and refreshing, right? Try again. The banana taste is far to over powering, thus making it feel like you’re sipping nothing more than a liquid banana. The after taste? Ugh. Like we said, we’ll take our $4.20 back. And we’ll carry on as usual, slogging through the sweltering streets just praying a Jamba Juice appears before us.
Average Price: Around $4.00
