The first time we met, I fell in love. I’m not just talking about when you love a new pair of shoes you’ve bought. No. I couldn’t sleep, I always thought about us being together and wanted us to know each other for the rest of our lives. Before we met, I never believed in the question, “Do you believe in love at first sight?”, I thought it was silly, immature and unfathomable to fall in love at first glance.

Well that day [which happened to be one of the best days of my life] proved me wrong and would change my mind forever. All of my prior beliefs about that question had vanished, It was like I was reborn again (ok, not that extreme, but you get the idea). My prior beliefs were;

1. You have to invest time to find out if you’re compatible
2. It takes time for a relationship to evolve
3. Young love won’t last

I remember that day clearly, as I never forget the best days of my life. I was in 9^th grade and classes had just ended for the day. After school, I normally waited in the car pool line for my mom to pick me up, but that day she told me that she would be very late picking me up due to a meeting on her schedule. I didn’t mind because a lot of my friends stayed after school late and socialized, took pictures, played music and just did random things that ninth graders do. After about an hour, one of my friends asked if I wanted to walk to the shopping center to get a snack and I DEFINTELY was down for that move. I was starving! We walked about 3 blocks and as we turned into the shopping center, I read a sign that said “SMOOTHIE KING” and I would soon know that me and this Smoothie King character would be in a relationship for the long haul.

I ordered a Caribbean Way that blessed day and enjoyed every drop of it! I left Smoothie King cheesing on the walk back to school, thanking my friend for introducing the two of us. To this day we are still together, inseparable in fact. We’ve been going 8 years strong!!

So, if you haven’t tried Smoothie King already please go out this week and try it! It’s a great way to snack healthy! I listed some of my favorite smoothies below. Happy Sipping!
