Southeast Asia has many wonderful aspects like its friendly people, relatively lower prices, temperate climate, and sunny beaches; but the best and most refreshing is the abundance of fresh, cold juice smoothies.
Imagine a hot, humid day in the sun with limited water. With sweat rolling down your face you see a stand of 10 different fresh fruits. Coconut, mango, banana, strawberry, dragon fruit, and many more.
The ripe fruit is put into a blender with some ice and soon you have a refreshing and healthy smoothie.
Having been to Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, I can say these are essential for survival.
- Should cost between $1-3 USD
- Fruits are fresh
- Flavors are delicious
- Offsets over heating that occurs all year
When in SEA, make sure to incorporate these into your daily diet.
A similar option but more expensive are smoothie bowls or açaí bowls. These have similar benefits, except a higher price point.
