I can't believe nobody has discovered this little gem yet.
We saw this little cart, manned by two lovely young ladies (from Belgium and Brazil), as we explored LX Factory. Their menu is rather short, just about 4 options, but all sound delicious, with not just basic fruits, but shots of ginger, and herbs like rosemary and basil. There is a sign saying that they don't use any plastic or electricity. Their cups and straws are made with rice flour. They juice the lemon and orange on a squeezer. But they surely would need to use electricity to run the blender, right?
Nope. They put the ingredients into a blender jar and ask if we want to hope on to the stationary bike and do a bit spinning. Yes! You have to pedal to move the motor that runs the blender!! I suppose the faster you spin the smoother your drink will be. Can't think of a way to make a greener juice!!
Totally lovely idea. Not sure if the wait will be awful on a busy day, but it was a fun experience, and at €5 a glass not a bad deal (at least not for Americans). read more
