Surf city squeeze

I just tried a smoothie from "Surf City Squeeze" at my local mall. The menu said the smoothie I ordered comes with banana, pineapple, orange, spirulina and protein. I asked the lady what kind of protein they use and she told me whey. I ordered the smoothie but asked for no protein. I've had whey protein in the past and actually used to drink it on a regular basis but I'm trying to steer more away from dairy. Spirulina has protein in it too though so it was not a big deal to exclude it.

I have to say I was rather dissapointed as I watched the lady make my smoothie. The "banana" in my shake was nothing more than an inch long slice and the pineapple consisted of just two or three pieces. The worst part was the orange. There was no orange. Instead they poured in some tropicana orange juice from concentrate. I'm not even sure if the juice they used had added sugar in it or not. It may have.

Luckily the lady put in a decent amount of spirulina but the rest of the smoothie was ice. Hardly worth the $5.09 I paid for it I think.

Yet maybe it was worth the price. The drink itself tasted very scrumptious. The pineapple dominated the flavor of the drink and it kind of tasted like a pina colada to me. My mother was with me and I made her try it after some pursuasion. She said it looked rather unappealing because it was green. I thought it just made it look minty... Even though it wasn't. My mom agreed that it was good though.

If you can get over the decieving menu and the high price then this is a smoothie place for you. Personally, I'm going to stick to making my own smoothies at home.
