Fresh Monkee, Southington, CT

Just About every town has their own local smoothie spot.

Most people assume smoothie equals healthy, and sometimes that’s true, but other times your smoothie is really just a bunch of donuts crammed into a blender, or at least it’s the same thing calorie wise.

So, Alexis and I go to a few local protein, smoothie places, and the fresh monkey in Southington CT, is one of our favorites.

If you’re trying to stay healthy at a place like this, pick a smoothie with minimal ingredients.

I got the strawberry moon, which just has some fruit, milk, and protein powder. Alexis got the nutmeg state, which has a few more ingredients I guess, but still isn’t too bad. She always cheats a bit when we go to these places.

At least we didn’t get the dirty, filthy monkey, which is delicious but certainly not low-calorie.

Anyways, the fresh monkey is a solid spot and we’d recommend it if you’re in the area.

Make sure to choose the minimal ingredient smoothie at the place near you, when you need that convenient high-protein pick me up.
