A couple weeks ago, River Hill High School was hit by a storm, a fruit storm. Students were juiced up about the new and sweet addition to the cafeteria menu, smoothies! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMango pineapple is so much better than the strawberry banana\u201d says Joshua Ward, a senior who has been eating school lunches for the past 4 years. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When deciding what a student desires as a post-lunch treat, one can not go wrong with either flavor. Both mango-pineapple and Strawberry-banana have captured the taste buds of our educational institution.This addition to the Rhhs menu is a school favorite. Students have been seen going back in line for a 2nd and 3rd round of smoothies. <\/span><\/p>\n

What goes into the smoothies to make them so delicious, is no mystery. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAh, I just got a clump of pineapple\u201d says Kelsey Firman. Clearly, students do not need to worry about what is in their cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some choose to drink it out of the cup while others prefer to use a spoon. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the perfect texture honestly, not too liquidy, not too solid either\u201d states Ian Kirn, who is a big fan of spooning his smoothie. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The school\u2019s decision to instal smoothie machines is the best decision the administration has made in a while. Who can be sad when they are sipping one of these fruity delicacies. That\u2019s right. No one. Had a bad day? Let the strawberry soothe your soul. Feeling tired? A zip of mango-pineapple will do the trick. <\/span><\/p>\n

You know what is even better? The price for one smoothie is only $1.75. That is a steal for a real fruit smoothie. For 5$ you can get a full lunch and a smoothie. This just goes to show that HCPSS cares about it\u2019s students, and is not afraid to show it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis made my day honestly, I didn’t eat breakfast so I came here to get a smoothie during A lunch\u201d says Nina <\/span>Esposito Faraone. These smoothies are so versatile. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The only downside is that they take a while to make. You have to add ice with the fruit and then wait for at least 45 minutes before they are the right consistency to serve. One day, I wanted a smoothie before 1st period and I was so happy until the lunch lady told me \u201c sorry they are not ready yet\u201d. The availability of the smoothies might be delayed to A lunch until further notice. <\/span><\/p>\n

Either way, students are very happy with this slight change that made such a big difference in their lunch experience. <\/span><\/p>\n
