So the people that know me well know that I have this weird alergic reaction to juice. Although, there are some exceptions to the rule that include Razzmatazz from Jamba Juice and some carrot juice my mom made when I was younger, I generally try to stay away from the stuff. Well earlier today, I felt like creating a smoothie like a DIY Razzmatazz (Laurie recently went on a smoothie grocery spree which included an assortment of frozen fruits) While creating my smoothie concoction (mostly made of berries), I ran into a minor problem. The blender was having a hard time blending everything and my smoothie was turning out to be very much a slushee. I came to the conclusion that I needed something liquid to make the blend more smoothie-like.
This is where the story gets strange. I decided to use juice. Yes, that’s right. Strawberry mango juice that Laurie bought at the store. I didn’t feel that milk would be a good fit, and water seemed… boring. I didn’t really have any other options. It was truly a weird feeling opening the top of the carton and pouring it in to the blender. I remember as I poured the juice, I held my breath, trying not to breath in any of the fumes. Yes, I am weird.  Anyway, the smoothie turned out delicious (slightly on the icy side) but still good.
