I decided to switch it up and just get a smoothie for this blog post. I love a good smoothie. I’m a sucker for things that make me feel like I’m on the right track to eating healthy. Ha. Arden’s Garden isn’t a hidden gem, they’re known for their smoothies and fresh fruit juices. You can even order the juices online or get them in selected grocery stores. 

They were slight busy when I stopped in around 2pm on Saturday. I browsed the menu and decided on a Summer Island Breeze. The ingredients are PH Solution, peach, papaya,  spinach, ginger, sweet & spicy nuts, and hemp protein. Due to the amount of fruit, I figured this would be sweet. I thought the fruit would cancel out the ginger, nuts, and spinach but it doesn’t. Ginger is known for being strong so I could definitely taste the ginger. I wasn’t a fan of it not being sweet. I like sweet smoothies (even if that’s not the purpose of a smoothie). If I go back, I’d select a different flavor or build my own smoothies. The smoothie was almost $10 so I forced myself to drink at least half. Long story short, I didn’t enjoy this smoothie.

Despite me hating the smoothie, I love Arden’s Garden. I often buy their fruit juices from the grocery store. This was my second time at the Arden’s Garden store and the first time I built a smoothie and I enjoyed it. I would recommend it but just not the Summer Island Breeze. With that being said people enjoy their smoothies different ways so feel free to give it a try!
