smoothies in tacoma
no ice. no syrups. no smoothie mixes. just fruit and whatever it's blended with.
a smoothie should taste like the fruit on the label. ours do, because that's all that's in them — fruit, and a base of juice, coconut water, or nut milk. no ice, so it isn't watered down by the time you're halfway through. no syrups or smoothie mixes, so it isn't sweeter than the fruit already is. thirteen of them, $9 to $11.
why no ice?
here's the thing about ice in a smoothie: it's water. it makes the cup look full and the blender sound busy, and then it melts and you're drinking fruit-flavored water by the bottom third. we freeze the fruit instead. same cold, same thick, and the last sip tastes like the first one. it costs more to do it this way. we think you can taste the difference, which is the whole reason we do it.
