Today I was hungry for lunch and did not really have time to stop and eat. So I ducked into a little frozen yogurt shoppe and ordered a strawberry and blueberry smoothie. The lady behind the counter was very pleasant, but we had a hard time communicating for a couple of reasons. The place was noisy – one of the machines was making a loud racket. She also was from a country where English was not spoken. I don’t know if she was from Korea, or Vietnam, or China, or Japan, but she spoke with a very thick accent that made it difficult to understand what she was saying. Even trying to lip read was difficult, so we resorted to pointing to the signs.

In the end, I got a smoothie, but I don’t think that it was healthy at all. There were no real bits of fruit in it, so I think it was just flavored with sugar-laden (or corn syrup laden) syrups along with the frozen yogurt that was added. Note to self – don’t go there again thinking that I’ll be drinking a nutritious smoothie – it isn’t nutritious at all. Just another high-calorie drink that tastes like a milk-shake!
