You can only purchase Kool aid here from certain import shops its not sold in our markets as it doesn't meet with the additives and colour requirements from the uk.
Give me a fresh smoothy any day any fruit except banana far to strong a flavour melon and guava are good :)

The café around the corner at work makes fresh juice and being a lazy creature of habit, I have orange, apple, celery and ginger juice everyday. Actually, it isn't just habit, since that's all they'll do. Strawberry and kiwi juice sounds good... and tangy.

I went to Aruba and they made the best virgin mango daiquires! Strawberry ones were my second favorite :D !

I like Jamba Juice's all fruit smoothie in Pomegranate Paradise. Its Pomegranate juice, strawberries peaches and mangos blended with ice! Low cal and delicious! A little tart too, but I like it like that!

Cranberry jucie cocktail, pineapple juice and a bit of coconut rum with plenty of ice , wow what a drink.
Koolaid, I love to take two different flavors and mix them, some of my kids friends ask for Kool Aid every time they come over. I can't believe there are American children that have never had it before. I had a child ask me to make some of that "home made jucie"... I thought it was so odd... in fact that same kid ask me to make homade popcorn on the stove, he had always had microwave popcorn.
To make Kool Aid a little healthier when my kids were small, I would mix in fruit jucie, grape or apple in it.

Oh... that is SO sad... :(
Is Pomegranate Passion really good, Roxy? I've wanted to try it, but I'm so hooked on the Caribbean Passion that I can't help myself! :)

Pomegranate passion is the best. :) Its nice and tart, perfect for hot days (or any day) it's the only one I get (unless I want extra calories, then its Aloha Pineapple, but that's 1x a year.)

I'm not a huge juice drinker, but I think I've become like a monkey when it comes to fruit. I would say we buy ten pounds of different fruits at least every other day, and we finish all of it between the two of us! Lololol... I don't know if this is so flattering to put in a public place. :)
Oranges in the winter (seven pounds worth every day or two), pineapple all year long (half each as a snack a few times a week), cantaloupe almost every day in the summer, strawberries whenever they're around, peaches, plums, pears, and grapes in season, bananas, mangoes, avocados... it's absolutely insane looking.
I don't know what happened. I was always a veggie girl. :) maybe I do. My boyfriend is a fruit fiend. He's more than happy to eat oranges for dinner, but I won't let him. ;)
All winter long I had a daily craving for hot lemon water. I love lemons.
Sometimes in the summer we love to blend bananas into blackberry yogurt. It's so good as a drink as lunch on a hot day.
I saw a jamba juice stand when I was at whole foods in ny, but I didn't stop to see what it was like. Do they add sugar, or is it all natural?

Jamba Juice has some that are all natural (all fruit smoothies) but some of them they add sherbert and things like that. They don't actually add sugar, but things like the sherbert adds sugar to it. Check it out at jambajuice.com

I don't like the taste of corn syrup, so that eliminates many juice drinks.
My favorite was mango smoothies when we made them in Egypt. These mangos would fall out of the trees and hit you on the head. The mangos in our local supermarket are 2-3 dollars apiece. Haven't had a mango smoothie for years.
Bananas can be good, but they need to be a bit green or need cooking to make them taste good.

I love breakfast smoothies with strawberries, bananas, yogurt, blueberries a bit of oj and ice.
My favorite alcoholic fruit drink is strawberry margaritas or bahama mamas!

Ok guys, I went out on a limb yesterday at Jamba and let the "barista" (do you call the Jamba guys baristas? Or does that just apply to coffee people?) choose the flavor for me!
He did awesome!
Strawberry surfer... it has strawberries, limes, and other... neat... flavors - I can't remember... wow... awesome for the 100 degree FL weather! :)

St. Ides Special Brew is an alcoholic beverage. It comes in a 20 oz. (duece bottle.) Its just now coming back to my town and we're loving it. It kind of tastes like koolaid and smirnoff mixed. It has a little kick, and gets your drunk fast! :) It's like $1.59 each. The red ones are the best!
