Super Spinach





Just when you thought you've been doing yourself a favor by drinking up fruit shakes and smoothies, that drink might not be as healthy as you think. You might be asking, "How can fruit smoothies not be good for you? Fruits are good for you, right?" Well, it's not really the fruit that's bad for you but the sugar syrup that some establishments add to make your smoothie sweeter. It's a good thing there are juice bars like Mondo Juice that are dedicated to all natural ingredients and don't add any sugar to their drinks.




It's hard to find sharp, straight lines in their interiors and furniture which gives it a hip, modern feel.


As kids, we're always taught to eat our veggies (even though it was probably to our disliking). Growing up, we slowly get to realize how important it is to eat healthy. If you're not a fan of eating veggies, then drinking it might be your solution. 


Most of the drinks in Mondo Juice are fruit based but they have Super Spinach which is their vegetable-fruit smoothie composed of spinach, mangoes, watermelon and nectar. As its name suggests, spinach is definitely a super food because it's loaded with vitamins and antioxidants that your body needs. Now, I know the thought of spinach in your drink can be a bit intimidating but trust me, this drink tastes so good! Even though it has spinach, what you'll taste more of are the mangoes and watermelon. I was also surprised by how clean the flavor was -- no unpleasant tastes and aftertastes. It's also very refreshing compared to other smoothies (probably because it has no sugar).

The next time someone asks me how I like my smoothies, I'll have mine with no sugar, and extra veggies, please!
