I love Smoothie King, and my friend Leah for offering so many goodies for giveaways.
I’ve got gobs of gift cards in my hands, each one good for one free 20 oz. smoothie, valued at about $5 each. I’m bundling them together in packages of five and will award five readers with one of these packages. That’s $25 worth of smooth stuff you’ll get if you win. So here’s what you’ve got to do: Leave a comment and tell me why you love smoothies. That’s it. Do it by 5 PM on Monday, November 10 and your name might just be one of the five I draw randomly from my fancy hat.
Oh, Leah wants me to tell you about a new item on the Smoothie King menu: The Berry Stimulating Maté. It’s got blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, Guayaki organic yerba maté, turbinado (save on calories and carbs and make your smoothie skinny by leaving this ingredient out) and nonfat milk. Yerba maté (pronounced YER-ba MA-tay) boasts a host of health attributes. It aids in weight control and digestion, increases metabolism, induces mental clarity, sustains energy, and lessens the effects of allergies and diabetes. Can’t beat that.
Ready. Set. Go, leave a comment now. Wait: First you might want to see if there’s a Smoothie King near you. Sadly, there isn’t one here in Gainesville. Click here to find a location near you.

Just got updated on your blog. Glad everything is going well for you and thanks for the all the information and updates you provide on your site.
Helps to stay in touch with you somehow since we are so far away.
As far as the Smoothie King drawing goes, I don’t think they are here in Ohio, so I won’t enter, but hope the contest is a hit.
Take care!

Berries are among the best fruits on the planet. Not only do they taste great, but they are densely packed with a variety of potent phytochemcials that can do wonders to normalize and improve health. They are also high in fiber and relatively low in sugar, so they won’t stimulate severe insulin swings if eaten in moderation.
Blueberries are associated with numerous health benefits including protection against urinary-tract infections, cancer, age-related health conditions and brain damage from strokes. They may also reduce the build-up of so-called “bad” cholesterol, which contributes to heart disease and stroke.

I love smoothies because they are creamy and delicious, and I don’t have to feel guilty about enjoying them because of their nutritional value.

Of course all Pink Outlaws love smoothies. Smoothies have multiple personalities, strawberry, blueberry and any other kind of berry–all to your own personal liking. Fit your own individual personality or go wild anf mix it up. We Pink Ourlaws Do Not Conform, so our smoothies are unique. We may mix strawberry with lemon..be sweet with a sour edge. Hey, try it..you may open a whole new world for yourself.

Hi Jacki,
I checked and we do have Smoothie Kings in the Cincy area. YUMMY. I have had them in Florida before. I like the coolness and how refreshing they are! One would be nice today!

Reading through your blog definitely keeps me going through the work day! But aside that, I really have been yearning for a smoothie. Hope I win! I’ll even share with my coworkers
