Juice Stop is a great place for a cool, refreshing smoothie on a hot afternoon.
This location is drive-thru only. It is located on the curved entrance road between Home Depot and Target.
You'll find a wide variety of flavor combinations, with juice, yogurt, sherbet, skim milk, or banana as the base. They don't have whey or soy protein bases like some of the "nutritional shake" places offer. The fruit flavors come from "real" fruit syrup, so they taste good, but not quite as good as a smoothie made with actual whole fruit. You can get optional "boosts" which offer vaguely defined nutritional or functional benefits. Nutritional information is available on the website.
Smoothies are the only thing on the menu. Nebraska smoothie places haven't caught up with neighboring states which offer fresh pretzels and muffins to go with your smoothie.
The smoothies are served in styrofoam cups with plastic straws. On this visit, the lids didn't fit the cups very tightly, resulting in a smoothie baptism when I tried to insert a straw. read more
