I came to this location today with Thing Two for some Sunday Funday treats! This is the newest location in 'The Rock'. So, let me be the first to welcome this new spot to 'The Rock'.. This location is situated in between Velvet Taco and Tyler's. In addition, it is one of many additions to this diverse mix of places to dine in this area (Ramen Tatsu-Ya is also coming soon to the shopping center). For those folks who ain't from round hur, Austin-bred JuiceLand is known for its delicious superfood, smoothies, organic juices, and plant-based meals. If you find yourself in Austin, Houston, or Dallas, pop into one of the locations and grab a healthy drink or bowl.
I placed an order in the drive-through for two smoothies to include the Cosmic Charlie & The Wild Child. What's funny about the names of these two smoothies is that they both aptly describe Thing Two in namesake and personality.
Cosmic Charlie
This is one of the newer smoothies that have graced the juiceland menu (it was added about a year ago to the Juiceland line up). The Cosmic Charlie is made with almond milk, apple juice, raspberry, strawberry, banana, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and whey protein. I like using whey protein in drinks as it may have some benefits of helping with weight loss and lowering cholesterol. I also appreciate the fresh fruits and peanut butter addition to this smoothie as it meets my daily fruit requirements and because of the protein that peanut butter offers. The protein content ranges from 22-30% of its total calories, making peanuts a great source of plant-based protein. All these power-packed ingredients provide a thick and filling smoothie.
Wild Child
This smoothie is made with pineapple, dragon fruit, banana, mango, lime, pea protein, maca, and coconut oil. Overall, this is a sweet blend of fruits with a protein boost derived from the pea protein.
While you can make your own smoothies as well as add extra protein and fruits to the standard menu items/smoothies, these add ons can get pricey. This location has a drive-through and a small walk-in store front. Also, these drinks/smoothies and bowls come at an above average price tag without add-ons. For the two smoothies (with no add-ons), the price tag was more than $21 dollars. The wait for the drinks after making it through the drive-through line to place the order was about 8 minutes.
