I remember when SpaghettiOs were new on the market. All the kids at school were always singing that song, and we all badgered our parents for SpaghettiOs every night for dinner. Rich nods reminiscently. Together, they sigh. But when asked about memories of food fads, few confessed to a craving for seaweed and soybeans.
Smoothies are as close to health food as food fads get.
We sell a lot of protein drinks and smoothies. They contain protein powder, which includes carbohydrates, and we can put in fruit, peanut butter, juice, milk. So many spots sell them now, you can barely walk a block without running into a juice bar. There are so many little coffee shops all over the place, especially on campus. But it's UCSC, so they have to have soy milk to go in it.
