Jetty Punch 

Ingredients: Strawberries, bananas, a spoonful of sugar and two cups of ice. 

Tasting Notes: I could really tell it was just strawberries and bananas, and it wasn’t very sweet.

Overall Thoughts: It’s not my cup of tea. But someone who likes strawberries and bananas a lot will enjoy it more.

Blueberry Bliss 

Ingredients: Blueberries, strawberries and bananas, two cups of ice and a spoonful of sugar.

Tasting Notes: It has an extremely strong blueberry taste, and because of the overwhelmingly blueberry flavor, I couldn’t really taste the other ingredients. 

Overall Thoughts: I got sick of it quickly, but it was still enjoyable in small quantities.

Paradise Point 

Ingredients: Bananas, strawberries, and pineapple, two cups of ice and a spoonful of sugar.

Tasting Notes: It tasted strongly of blueberries, which considering there wasn’t any in the mix, it’s a bit misleading. I could definitely taste the banana as well, and it’s not too sweet. This smoothie had more of a seedy texture, which I’m assuming is from the strawberries.

Overall Thoughts: I had mixed feelings about the seedy texture, and the mysterious blueberry taste really threw me off. It’s enjoyable, but by far not my favorite.

Blimey Limey 

Ingredients: Strawberries, pineapple, orange juice and lime, two cups of ice and a spoonful of sugar.

Tasting Notes: It tastes strongly of pineapple and it’s extremely sweet. 

Overall Thoughts: The taste gets overbearing after awhile, but a couple of sips are enjoyable.

Mango Magic

Ingredients: Mango, pineapple, and non-fat yogurt, two cups of ice and a spoonful of sugar. 

Tasting Notes: I could definitely tell there’s mango in there, and the texture is similar to a mango as well.

Overall Thoughts: It’s good but I got sick of it because of all the mango. It’s a great pick for passionate mango lovers, but if you aren’t a huge fan of mango, take a pass.

Kiwi Quencher 

Ingredients: Cut up strawberries, kiwi concentrate and non-fat yogurt, two cups of ice and a spoonful of sugar.

Tasting Notes: It tasted similar to a pina colada and is very sweet, but I can’t taste the strawberries nor the kiwi. Which is strange considering it’s called the “Kiwi Quencher.”

Overall Thoughts: Despite the tasting mystery, I like pina colada so I enjoyed it.

Pomegranate Plunge 

Ingredients: Pomegranate, banana, cranberry and strawberries.

Tasting Notes: It’s sweet and tastes strongly of strawberries but no pomegranate. 

Overall Thoughts: Pomegranate is my favorite fruit, and this smoothie doesn’t taste anything like it. It was good, and one of my favorites, but I’m disappointed it doesn’t taste remotely like pomegranate.

Sunrise Sunset 

Ingredients: Strawberries, pineapple, mango and orange juice, along with a spoonful of sugar and two cups of ice. 

Tasting Notes: I could definitely taste the orange juice, but it also had hints of strawberries, pineapple and mango. 

Overall Thoughts: It tasted evenly blended and what you would expect from a tropical smoothie, my favorite out of all the ones sampled.
