I have become obsessed with smoothies ever since moving into my new place. They are quick to make, delicious to drink, and perfect to take to work since I have kind of a wonky schedule. Recently though, I have run into a bit of a problem with my smoothie/work combination. What kind of carrying device is appropriate for the office? Read: people have been giving me funny looks because I have been drinking out of my old and dingy batman thermos.
So, I set out to finally find an appropriate smoothie transporter. I went to Bed Bath and Beyond, nothing. Fred Meyer, nothing. Finally I ended up in Starbucks to grab a coffee, and sitting on the shelf was a little (actually gigantic) reusable plastic cup, with a screw on lid.
My issue with this seemingly perfect beverage transporter is that it has a hard, reusable straw. For one, this means I can’t chew on the straw, and secondly how the heck are you supposed to clean a reusable straw?!
I know this sounds like a trivial issue, but nothing sounds worse to me than drinking a delicious smoothie out of a dirty straw.
What I’ll be drinking this morning (still in trusty old Batman)
1 handful frozen blueberries
Sliced up pineapple
1 mini yogurt
Little orange juice
Lots of ice
Mix ‘em together.
I am currently trapped in the Greek Yogurt frenzy and don't see myself exiting anytime soon; However, I would love to give smoothies a try. Seeing as I despise blueberries I would appreciate suggestions as to some other smoothie combos you might have!
ReplyDeleteI have Starbucks, Jamba and duck plastic smoothie cups, I always run the straw through running water and soap! I love to take them to work and am obsessed with smoothies too!! The fruit and Greek Yogurt from Trader Joe's is a fav. of mine when making the smoothies!
