I'll admit I'm a smoothie junkie, but I usually make my own at home. Lately, however, I've become somewhat lazy and bored with my own recipes, so I took a break. The angels sang as if on cue, and JuiceLand opened on Hwy 620. Temptation and inspiration, all in one.
The menu is huge, both in size and in variety of smoothies available. They list all the ingredients up there, so there are no surprises later (e.g. sweeteners, powdered milk fat, soybean paste). None of that stuff; these concoctions are freshly made by enthusiastic people while you wait. If you ask for an explanation of an ingredient, they will give it to you. There is also a comprehensive list of ingredients available on the counter.
I gravitated toward the green smoothies, because I'm addicted to greens and I can't help it. Apparently, that's possible. They have interesting names like Greenlight and Applelilly, and they are tasty. My Greenlight had chunks of cashews floating in it. Yum!
You can add specific ingredients to your smoothies for an up charge, which can end up making the smoothie a tad expensive. They come in four sizes, including a tiny kid-sized version. They even have a separate kiddie smoothie menu, to help get your youngsters hooked on fruits and veggies early in life.
In case you become a regular, or perhaps to help you become one, they offer a frequent flyer card that gives you a free smoothie after you buy ten. I got one on my first visit.
If you want something to take back to the office for later indulgence, they have a refrigerated case of food items and bottled smoothies in the front. They were super fast making my smoothies the days I've dropped in, and I think fresh is worth waiting a couple of minutes for anyway, so I haven't tried the bottled stuff.
There is very limited seating available, so most people take off with their prize as soon as it's garnered. There is a little kiddie seating area in the front corner, which can help avoid car spills later. I speak from experience.
