When I had initially tried smoothies and milk shakes, I remember tasting some really bad, sugar-laden milk drinks. Most importantly, the texture used to bother me a lot. I remember tasting a smoothie long back from a small juice shop outside my work place and it was a terrible version of smoothie. Zero punch, just sugar, milk and some fruits. I am quite sure that was what created my negative mindset towards smoothies. When we moved back to California at the end of last year and started to settle down, it meant buying everything starting from a spoon. One day, quite randomly, as we walked by the kitchen aisle of a store, we stood in front of the section, which displayed several blenders. Although quite unsure, we wondered if we should include smoothies in our diet. Probably, it was time to check what the fuss was all about! So, we went ahead and bought a blender.
I started by randomly throwing stuff and blending it into something liquid-y, drinkable but not tasty. After a few trial and errors, I started to get the hang of it. Also, I slowly started to really enjoy it. Now, for the past couple of months, we drink smoothie every weekday. It’s a part of our breakfast now.
