Booster Juice

We were looking for some frozen dessert but sadly Menchies no longer in business at this plaza and this was how I ended up at Booster Juice.
I want something fruity and sweet and Booster Juice delivers. Mango Hurricane was iced cold and great if you love fruit! Portion was huge and it lasted me for a couple of hours! I did not add any free booster as I just want some smoothies.

Seriously, why do people go to Booster Juice? Is it because they think they are getting a healthy alternative to X food, want to feel good about themselves, and don’t mind spending a small fortune on a (non-​alcoholic) drink? Because they would be wrong about the healthfulness of those smoothies, as they are all full of concentrated sugar. The last time I went, I spent a long time perusing their menu to pick out something that appeals to me, and wasn’t based on juice. When the menu says something like «acai» or «papaya» there is no acai or papaya in it. Instead, there is a concentrated juice with lots of sugar. Essentially, you are grossly overpaying for a fancy juice. Adding protein or some other healthy add on like spirulina to concentrated juice, doesn’t make the sugar you are getting any healthier.
I opted to make my own smoothie to avoid the sugar the last time I went (surely, never to return), but it didn’t taste good since all they had was skim milk and soy milk. I didn’t want the sugar in the soy milk (I looked at the one they had), so I had to have the white coloured water that is skim milk. I came home and re-​blended with other fruits to make it taste better.
The girl helping me didn’t know her left arm from her right, and was extremely confused with the questions that I asked her to help me make my decision. She didn’t know if the soy milk had sugar in it, and she didn’t know how to check, so I had to look at the carton myself. When I said skim milk, she didn’t know that meant non-​fat.
This Booster Juice is conveniently located across from the L.A. Fitness, where surely, confused individuals enter this smoothie joint, because if they were at all interested in their health/​fitness, they wouldn’t step a foot in this place.
