Down here in Sofla (that's South Florida to all of you northerners) Jamba Juice is to smoothies what Starbucks is to coffee. It hasn't quite made it onto every street corner in America, but there is at least one in each town...so after a long and arduous journey through the winding corridors of IKEA, I thought I'd treat myself to something new and made my very first visit to Jamba Juice.
I was excited to find out that all of Jamba Juice's ingredients are 100% natural and that they pride themselves on being a part of a healthy lifestyle. I don't neccessarily share their desire for a healthy lifestyle (as made apparent by my stop for fried dumplings afterward) however, I just get excited when a restaurant advertises their all natural ingredients...it makes paying $5.00 for a drink just a little bit easier to swallow.
Anyway, I chose the Mango-a-go-go with a free immunity boost. I'm not exactly sure what the immunity boost is, but it was free and I figure anything to help kick this cold would be helpful. I have to say, the smoothie was delicious, it was a huge drink (which, being a cheapskate I totally appreciated) and I even watched as they added fresh mango slices...yum.
It wasn't until I got home that I realized my Jamba Juice mistake. I opened my IKEA box and with only a no-word booklet, was expected to build a beautiful Swedish dresser out of 532 pieces of particle board and 84 screws. It was then that I realized I probably should have taken the free energy boost in my smoothie instead of the immunity boost...to heck with the cold, I could've just taken another Alka Seltzer... but it would take extra energy to put this baby together. Oh well, I'll know better next time...although I did have my eye on the wheatgrass shot for next time - energy and immunity in one...hmmm
