@Jake - why are smoothie kings smoothies so delicious?

[strife]

I thought you mentioned you worked there when u were younger.. what's the secret?

[Jakensama]

Rum!

Really though what gives them the good sweet flavor is turbinado - the sugar with molasses added which is in a lot of them.

[strife]

meh, but I don't want sugar!!

Turbinado aye... wonder if I can find that at HEB.

They have a "new" Gladiator smoothie which is freaking awesome... but $7 for a small is stupid. I want to make it at home.

[Jakensama]

You could probably just use generic brown sugar.. Everything else in most smoothies was just fruit and/or fruit juice.. There were a couple with ice cream and protein powder for people who were work out freaks, and I guess some of the other ones had a few of the snake oil health products that we peddled.

[strife]

Cool so nothing out of the ordinary.. I looked up turbinado and it appears HEB might sell it. I'll probably go pick some up. I'm kind of on a smoothie kick right now... will go do some experimenting this weekend Thanks!

Not sure of the measurements, but a morning smoothie I used to drink was...

Ricotta cheese, ice, flax seed, ground coffee, sliced almonds. It called up for flavoured whey powder(expensive shit). I forget what I substituted for that. There may have been something else but it eludes me.

[strife]

That sounds nasty kakarat!

I'm drinking a pretty good smoothie right now..

3 cups of spinach
2 tblspoons of all natural peanut butter(some substitute almond butter)
2/3 cup of almond milk
1/2 banana
2 handfuls of ice
1 serving of vanilla protein powder(usually 1-2 scoops).

Blend. Delicious... and I don't like Spinach.

[Kakarat]

I suppose if you are not a coffee drinker... or don't like Ricotta cheese. I actually found them quite good. When I get home tonight, Ill check out the recipe.

Guilty on both heh... I like Ricotta cooked in some things(I think it's in Lasagna), but not by it's self.

Thats a little to close to Arugala, trying to emulate the president? Why don't you eat iceburg lettuce like a good American?

Because spinach is better for you.

[Kakarat]

3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 tbsp reduced-fat yogurt
1 tbsp slivered almonds
2 tsp whey-protein (flavor of choice)
2 tsp ground flaxseed
1/2 tsp fine ground coffee beans
6 ice cubes.

Any smoothie without kale is a lame smoothie.

Weird fucking hippies and their vegetable smoothies, the only time you should drink vegetables is if there is a copious amount of vodka mixed in with them and you are hung over.

If you don't like vegetables normally(Like me, I'm picky as fuck), it makes sense to blend them into something that you can handle to get the nutrients from it.

And why, if you're hung over... would you drink vodka? I'm not a drunk, so this is a serious question.

You're not 12, eat your damn spinach.

Bloody Marys are widely considered a hangover/brunch drink, its why Sunday morning Texans games have a giant Bloody Mary bar in the club level.
