Vivanno, hell no.

Today I was excited to go and pick up a new Vivanno Smoothie and I raced over with my card in tow. From the 5 blends available I opted to go for the Orange Mango Banana Smoothie hoping that the orange and mango flavour would overpower the powerful banana flavour. No such luck. To my disappointment the Vivanno smoothie is revolting. I equate the taste to consuming banana flavoured chalk if there were such an ungodly concoction. The top 3 tastes I would equate my drink to would be:

1. Concrete shavings flying in the air
2. A cheap protein shake
2. Monkey fart dust

I’m not sure if anyone else has had a great experience with any of the other flavours but orange mango banana is most certainly not for me. In fact, the taste still haunts me as I’ve been burping rotting banana as all day as I work. ugh. The crazy thing is that this cup pictured above contains 34g of sugar! Where did all that sugar go? Not on my taste buds that’s for sure. Here’s the nutritional fact sheet courtesy of the Starbucks site (based on 16fl oz):

So anyways, as you can see by the pic I did drink the whole thing, but I did it upset. I mean I can’t let a beverage go to waste now. But I will definitely not be going back for more……unless it’s free.
