McCafe Smoothies! Yum!

July 14, 2010 4 Comments »

One of my first jobs when I was entering the workforce was McDonalds. I had just left High School and my best friend from Middle School (who I am proud to say is still my friend all these years later) convinced me to apply at the restaurant where she worked. She got to train me when I started as a cashier, though I did not remain one for long.

I had two primary jobs back in the day. I was the production leader (I was that person that would stand in the grill yelling special orders and calling for more food) and I was the order taker for Drive-Thru (Hi, welcome to McDonald’s can I take your order, please?). I could come up with a list of stories about that, but that isn’t what this post is about.

McCafe Smoothies

When I left McDonald’s after two years I vowed I would never eat their food again. It was nothing personal against McDonalds, but I had been eating there almost daily for two years and I was tired of it! It took me a while to go back, but I would occasionally for a few of my favorite junk food items. Then something changed. McDonald’s came up with the McCafe line.

The Iced Mocha would have kept me coming back, but the eventual Frappes were good enough to make me debate whether the drive to Starbucks was even necessary. At this point, Dominick didn’t care one way or the other about the McCafe line because he’s not into coffee or any of the designer caffeine drinks. I was sold though. Next came the Lemonades and I was in heaven. I mean, what’s better than lemonade in the summertime? Dom was still not interested.

Now they have the Smoothies. Dom is a smoothie guy so he will no doubt love the McCafe Smoothies. The Smoothie line has two options to choose from presently. You can opt for the Strawberry Banana or the Wild Berry. In Dom’s case either would be quite effective. In mine, I’d be most likely to choose the Strawberry Banana. If you love Smoothies this probably sounds pretty good, but it’s about to get better.


From now until July 26, you can head on over to the McDonalds Website and pick up a $1 off coupon for a Smoothie. This is guaranteed to come in handy, especially if you drink a lot of Smoothies (a dollar off a day, doesn’t sound so bad).

If you give the McCafe Smoothies a try, be sure and let me know what you think!
