FYI, if you live in Indianapolis, you can get a free 16-ounce Orange Mango Banana or Banana Chocolate Vivanno on Tuesday, August 5 and Tuesday, August 12 – from 2 to 4 p.m. All you have to do is flash your gym membership card or Starbucks card at your local Starbucks. I’ve had theses smoothies and they’re fairly good, though almost anything that’s free tastes good to me (says the girl who eats her way through Whole Food’s free sample trays whenever she shops for sushi.) Here’s the nutritional information for the Banana Chocolate Blend and the Orange Mango Blend.
I have no idea if they’re doing this in markets outside of Indianapolis, but it might be worth calling your local Starbucks and asking.

August 4, 2008 at 10:07 amYes, as noted, Chicago too. I’ve actually purchased these a couple of times. They’re not cheap ($3 maybe?) but nutritionally they’re not bad–especially the 6 grams of fiber and the whole banana. I’d probably do Jamba if it were closer to my workplace, but this is a good fix for those breakfast-less days.
