Summer Smoothie Love
If you know anything about me, you know I love a smoothie! I always say that my taste buds never grew into adults because I can’t stand the taste of beer, alcohol, tea, coffee (unless it has a ton of chocolate and sugar in it).
So most days if you see me enjoying a delicious beverage, it’s probably a smoothie. To that end, do you think this post is about all the glorious smoothie recipes I make every morning? Well prepare for disappointment because, it isn’t.
Sure, I could make myself a smoothie every morning. I’m an adult. But when there is a Clean Juice, Jamba Juice, and Panera right around the corner…. well, frankly I am just plain lazy and the truth is, I have tried to make my own over the years and they just never taste as good as the ones I buy.
Well, when Revive reached out to me to try out their subscription box I was definitely up for it. If they could match my high standards for juice bar smoothies without me having to leave the house, I would be totally in!
How Does It Work?
The gist is that you get these cups that are completely ready to blend. You just add your beverage of choice to the cup, and dump the whole thing into your blender, blend, and return to the cup! The lid has a hole for a stainless steel straw (2 come with your first package).
They also carry oats, açaí bowls, and super meals!
There are so many good flavors we received in our box but the girls and I are fruit fanatics so our favorites are:
Strawberry Zen
Berry Blu
Pink Dragon
I also liked the Hint of Mint, Clean & Green, & Grass is Greener but I added some additional frozen fruit I had in the freezer to the green blends to make it a little fruitier. I love a green smoothie with a fruit like pineapple and ginger added.
The best part of these smoothies besides how easy they are to make? They are paleo, vegan, gluten free, & dairy free! I mean that basically hits all the food lifestyles right? Personally I only care about the taste but the husband and kids are plant based / mostly vegan so this is something we can all enjoy together. Plus there is not room in the freezer for something only I use so this wouldn’t have worked out otherwise.
Here is how you order! Click on Create My Box, select the amount of cups you would like to receive (9, 12, or 24), and decide if you would like to receive them every week or every month! Want a discount? Use my code HELENB60 for 60% off.
So are there any cons? Yes, I have a tiny freezer and can’t fit all of these cups! Sorry kids, I’m tossing these vegan chicken nuggets to make room for my smoothie! Between the pandemic and this smoothie subscription, I am really regretting not buying a chest freezer. But really, there are no cons when I can trick my kids into drinking their veggies every morning through a smoothie.
