I'm sure it's probably a placebo effect but when I get a tickle in my throat that suggests a cold might be coming on, I head for a fruit smoothie. Maybe the vitamins help. Maybe it's just all in my head. Either way, I made a stop at this Smoothie King in Ballantyne and was pleased to enjoy their "$5 Friday special" which seems to include just about any of their smoothies in the 32 ounce size. That's a whole lot of fruit and juice, so don't think that this is just a snack. It's enough calories (healthy ones, mind you) for a full meal replacement.
Service was good and I was kind of hoping to be able to hang out here for a bit but they only have two seats and they're clearly designated for waiting for your smoothie. And then you go. There's no other seating.
