Triple Thick Smoothie

This smoothie, thankfully, has no relation to Mc Donald's at all. It's actually a bit of an homage to the insanely intense smoothies you can get at Mr. B's in Port Dover, ON. The smoothies cost about $5 and consist of a literal pound of frozen fruit (your choice of mix, of course) and a bit of ice, pulverized into smoothie form with a gigantic, industrial, immersion blender. And that's it. There's no juice or milk, or yogurt. Just fruit and ice. The first time I ordered one I asked for raspberry, only raspberry. I think it almost killed me.

It's the greatest, freshest tasting smoothie you'll ever have. It's also almost impossible to drink through a straw... or drink under any means. It's so thick that you best ask for a spoon when you order this smoothie.

My home version of this is a little less intense, but only because I lack an industrial blender. This smoothie contains some frozen fruit mix, whatever amount fills your glass, and is topped up with some juice, in this case apple. Blend the whole thing until smooth, then add another handful of frozen fruit for added thickness and blend some more. Poor into a glass, and get yourself a spoon.
