Starbucks’ Kale-added Smoothies
When you think of smoothies, you often have a picture of blended
sweetened beverage made from fresh fruit or vegetables, but often ac-
companied by honey or syrups. In cooperation with green juice company
Evolution Fresh and yoghurt company Dannon, Starbucks is introduc-
ing its new smoothie menu in its 4,300 branches on the West Coast for
health-conscious blended beverage lovers who would be happy with
having an unprocessed beneficial vegetable ingredient like kale in their
drinks. That is because kale is known as one of the healthiest vegetables,
so wouldn’t it be great that you do not have to steam it and eat with your
meal? You can simply make a trip to Starbucks and place an order of either Sweet
Greens or Strawberry and Mango Carrot, and you can request an addition of fresh kale blended with your smoothie.
Although these kale smoothies may not win the heart of extreme health maniacs, the Starbucks’ new scheme can erase
the prior impression of its artificial flavored syrups on display in its shops. The bottom line is for you to pay only $5.95
for a healthy kale smoothie seems like a great deal.
