    Are you serious? I just got out of a smoothie king that cost me 6.50 for a 32 oz strawberry kiwi breeze drink. I'm gonna start making my own smoothie, if they keep bumping up the price like this.. I freaking love smoothies too, why chew on a piece of fruit using your jaw muscles while instead, you can just suck and slurp up the granulated pieces of edible fruits,mmmm!!!

    I thought everyone made their own smoothies already.

    A smoothie of that size is generally a meal replacement. So think of it as you spent $6.50 for a meal. Not too bad.

    jesus, how do you drink 32 oz of that? 6.50 doesnt seem too crazy for that much...but nobody should be drinking that much smoothie.

    I got a small strawberry & banana smoothie one day to keep my daughter from driving me crazy and I got her some tiny bag of trail mix they had and my total was like 13 bucks. :mad: She didn't even drink it.

    I make my own strawberry banana smoothies, and it tastes better than Smoothie King's. I've drunk them every day since January when I started training for my marathon (in May). Secret ingredients: strawberry yogurt, soy protein for texture/constitution, and lots of vitamin C in place of honey. I just wasn't tasting the honey.

    That is outrageous...I go to Fat Straws and a regular Strawberry pina colada is about $3.65...

    As for my protein shakes, I make them at home...

    I make smoothies all the time in my magic bullet.

    I buy big bags of mixed frozen fruit and use it. This is great because you don't have to use ice.

    1 banana
    vanilla non fat yougart
    frozen fruit

    Great smoothies, no need to add any sweeteners.
