Never heard of Smoochies?  Neither had I until recently.  Well that's a lie, growing up a "smoochie" was always what we gave my parents before bed time, another word for "kiss".  Now, there is apparently a little mom-and-pop shop named the very same thing.  A friend informed me of the place and I'll admit, I was skeptical, after being bombarded the last 3 years with companies like Pinkberry and Tasti-D Lite popping up all over.  However, I decided to try a smoothie made with chocolate smoochie ice cream, soy milk, and protein powder last week.  It. was. delicious.  This was strange and new to me.  Never have I liked the taste of health-food items like soy milk.  And I think Pinkberry tastes like stale chalk.  This, however was actually good.  Now, here's the even better part: the calorie count per serving.  Here's how Smoochies stacks up:

Tasti D-Lite: 90 calories per serving
Pinkberry: 70 calories per serving
Smoochies: 60 calories per serving

My Smoochies is the winner.  Some other reasons to try?  It is 100% Lactose free, 99% fat free, a good source of protein and ALL NATURAL!  They are so confident that their Nutrition Facts are blown up and displayed on their window.
