| - I'll admit, I'm a marketer's dream! I was just strollin' along the Spadina & Queen area, when WHAM-O! I was smacked in the face with this lovely, artistic, clean & sharp looking store front.
"Liquid Nutrition," the sign read. I thought to myself, "Self, haven't you often thought, would it not be so super handy-dandy to have a well-balanced meal, in the convenience of a liquid beverage form?" I then proceeded to answer myself, which I also do on occasion, "Why yes, Kim, you have thought that." Note, I AM having this conversation in my head, not talking to myself out in public, ok? Still with me? Cool.
So I enter, and am visually pleased with the atheistically pleasing array of colors that are sending my visual fields into euphoric psychosis! There are 2 servers at the counter, ready, willing and able to serve. Both were pleasant, polite & FULL OF---knowledge! ~ah! you thought I was gonna say something else!~ *giggles*
They know how to land a sale by asking me what I'm looking for, so I tell them exactly: a well-balanced meal, in liquid form, which their company seems to have the ability to offer me. The manager, I find out is one of the servers, recommends "The Early Bird." It just so happens it is now my favorite & my regular choice. It is exactly what I'm looking for, & in my humble opinion, puts many a smoothie bar to shame. Are you looking for all the food groups, in one complete meal? You got it!
The Early Bird offers fruit, (duh!) specifically banana, blueberries, & raspberries. It offers protein, with your standard protein shot, I think they use "whey" protein. You want carbs for energy, it's got that TOO!! They add a lil' oatmeal for the carbohydrate portion of your well-balanced meal. Onto dairy, it's got that too, can you believe I'm still going on about one bloody smoothie? Yup, sure am! Ok, dairy, they use organic soy milk. Finally, they add some honey, just to add a lil' bit of sweetness. And that's your YUM-O Early Bird!!
Ok, ok, I KNOW y'all stopping me right there, & saying, whoa! Hold on! Part of a well-balanced meal is your vegetables, right? Can't forget about those veggies. Well, (tee-hee) I got an answer for that too! They offer that too! So you can have a totally well-balanced smoothie! Just ask them to add the "Vega" supplement, it's something crazy like 2-3 servings of veggies. I can't remember what it costs, it's like $0.50, $0.75, or $1.00.
Oh, more good news! Let's say you don't like raspberries, you like strawberries...no problem! Just tell 'em and they'll switch-er-roo them on ya! No charge, no problem.
I have tried other smoothies from Liquid Nutrition besides The Early Bird. I've tried the "Pretty in Pink" with banana, strawberries, raspberries & honey. I've also tried the "Acai" with Acai (duh!), strawberries, pineapple and honey too! They were also YUM-O delicious!
One of the "something extras" that I love about Liquid Nutrition is when I place my order, and they make my smoothie, they always seem to make too much, and there's always some left over, after they've filled up my cup. Every time I've been in there with a friend who didn't purchase anything, they've given the extra to her! I think that's not only smart business, by having someone new try your product, but also just a really nice thing to do!
I recommend Liquid Nutrition, I have ALWAYS had fast, friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable service. I have always been satisfied with my YUM-O smoothie, or liquid meal, as I would call it!
