On our return from the East Coast to Mpls, we stopped overnight in Rockford, IL. We had a hankering for a smoothie for breakfast, and happened upon Reel Nutrition (not sure why "reel") which was on State Street near I-39/I90 in Rockford. Friendly staff and lots of smoothie choices. Apparently, the smoothies aren't made with fresh fruit or fresh ingredients. Rather, they use and are an outlet for Herbalife products. We paid about $7-8.00 for each of our smoothies (large). They tasted good, and had nominal calories (about 270 for a large smoothie). If I understood the process correctly, they use flavored Herbalife protein powders and ice for the drink. It seems that Herbalife franchises these smoothie bars around the country. I checked, and we had at least half a dozen near where we live in the Mpls/Hennepin County area. If you want a nutritious, low calorie smoothie with loads of assorted flavor options, do check it out. I had what was called a Coffee Concoction, but it tasted more like a peanut butter concoction than coffee. That was the only drawback. read more
