Smoothies when made at home are very inexpensive, extremely healthy, low on sugar, quick and simple to make.
So why doesn't anyone make them?
I usually make mine with unsweetened almond milk, a scoop of protein (I use Vega One which is plant sourced protein), freshly ground peanut butter, and maybe a little bit of fruit - like a banana, pineapple, blueberries, depending if its after a workout or in the morning, etc. Sometimes some spinach or kale.
Takes me 2-3 minutes, probably costs me $3 each time I make it (only because Vega One has a high cost per scoop, like $2), and I am in freaking love with them.
I can tell you what's wrong with what's out there. Grocery store pre-packed frozen smoothies cost a lot and are loaded with sugar (and you don't know what else is out there).
Going to a smoothie franchise (like SmoothieKing) it can run you on the higher end of $6-$10.
Aren't we trying to trend towards a healthier America? I feel like there is an unsolved need out there, or perhaps people don't yet realize they need it. Am I biased from my own experience and healthy lifestyle? What tastes good to me might not taste good to Billy Bob Joe who eats 5 McDonalds hamburgers weekly and devours a side of medium fries to boot.
Looking for some input on this... any at all.
