Smoothie King

     Today, I got to visit my favorite place to get a smoothie in Birmingham. Smoothie King™ has many different smoothies and treats to choose from. The best part about Smoothie King is that every treat there is healthy! I took a look at the menu, and I decided to go with a Strawberry and Banana smoothie. I also added yogurt, because it makes the smoothie taste sweeter, and it is a healthier choice than adding ice cream. I think it is important to choose healthy snacks after school, or even for breakfast, like smoothies, because they give your brain power to learn new things!
 

       The workers at Smoothie King™ were really nice. They let me get a close-up view of the sizes of smoothies that I could choose from. I chose a kids size, because now that I'm flat, I don't really need as much for a snack anymore. However, if I was drinking a smoothie for breakfast, I would probably get a bigger size. I got to talk to the workers while I was waiting. They told me that smoothies are full of good vitamins and nutrients that help your skin, teeth, and even your bones! Tasty fruits and vegetables can be blended together to drink, and they are great for your immune system, which means that they can keep you from getting sick.

     I even got to explore some other healthy treats, like these granola bars. Granola bars are healthy because they also have great vitamins and nutrients for your body. Some of these granola bars contain nuts, such as peanuts, almonds, and cashews. I know that some people are allergic to nuts, so if you find yourself at Smoothie King™ and you have a nut allergy, be sure to read all of the labels before you pick one out! I liked that some of these granola bars only contained granola and dried fruit, which is a great healthy choice for people who are allergic to nuts.

      When the workers at Smoothie King™  handed me my smoothie, they told me to make sure to download the new Smoothie King™ app! I went home, and with my moms permission, I got to download this cool app! With this app, I can look up different smoothies, treats, and even vitamins that my family can buy at any Smoothie King™ store. I can also get "King rewards" which means that sometimes, I can receive discounts on smoothies! There is a fun game that I can play and win other rewards for Smoothie King™ as well. My favorite part of this app is that no matter where I am, I can look up and find a Smoothie King™ store that is close to me! So, if I go on vacation or am visiting family in another state, I can find a Smoothie King close to me!

 

 I love that I learned so much today at Smoothie King, and I need to make sure that I continue to eat healthy treats like these so that I can stay healthy and maybe grow past 6 inches one day!
