Blended to Perfection

After working a Java Juice for several years, Claudia learned how to make some of the best concoctions around. She could just find whatever was lying around the house and whip up a batch of deliciousness that made your taste buds sing and dance. One morning she woke up extra early and went to the grocery store to buy a long list of ingredients for a drink she desperately wanted to try. Bananas, figs, plums, pears, almonds, cherries and cinnamon were the key ingredients of her beverage.

Claudia’s fruit smoothies quickly became a neighborhood favorite. On the weekends she would set up a stand on the corner of Blanchard and Maple Street and sell her smoothies by the glass or pitcher. For hours on end she’d blend away on her mixer as she hummed the theme song from Gilligan’s Island. I’ve never seen her as happy as when she’s blending things to make flavorful creations.
