I'm paralyzed with indecision when I look up at that smoothie menu at Jamba Juice. Everyone seems to know what they want, and they don't want to wait behind a senior citizen comparing calories and trying to make up her mind.
This seems to be happening to me often-- at Subway and McDonald's, for instance. When did fast food lunch menus get so complicated? John sticks to the Value Menu, which is a good strategy if you can find it on the cluttered signs.
If you have to eat at McDonald's, it isn't the best place to "try something new." People claim they want choices, but studies show that too many options make us unhappy. My advice? Don't look at the menu. Go with the small cheeseburger and fries.
Anyway, I like the idea of breakfast smoothies but not enough to drag out the big blender early in the morning, so this hand-held device from Costco is a slick thing! It pulverizes frozen fruit, yogurt and juice in a few seconds, and a lot cheaper than Jamba Juice. You just have to be careful what you throw in the cup, or you'll be slurping down a 600 calorie body-builder's breakfast.
