Green Smoothies in Saigon

Good afternoon Sunshine!
Do you like healthy smoothies? I do! Since I am not great on eating my vegetables, I supplement by enjoying a fresh green smoothie every now and then. This place has been my favorite and my trusty go-to, Green-O. My favorite drink is "Ve Dep Toa Sang" which translates roughly to Radiant Beauty. It has avocado, banana, spinach, celery, ginger, and honey. On their website, when viewing in English mode, the smoothie is called "Ginger Green". They blend every thing fresh from when you place your order and always advise you to drink within 3 hours for best quality. I have left mine in the fridge for 1 day before, and although it's not as best as when it was first made, it was still good. 

Before, the smoothies would come in these plastic bottles, and I felt they were too nice to only use once and throw away so I kept saving them, but then I ended up with too many and still had no use for them. Time to give them away for recycled use. 




Why did I mention their plastic bottles? Because they now have the option of paying an extra 8k (~$0.30) for a glass bottle!!!!! And they look so nice! Honestly, the smoothies tastes so much better in the glass bottles. Makes me wonder if the plastic had gotten into the smoothie some during delivery with this Saigon heat. Very possible. Oh yes, you can order in store, store shipping or on Delivery Now, a food delivery service. On D'Now, you'll add in the notes during checkout that you would like to switch to the glass bottles. Don't forget or you'll get the plastic bottles like I did once. D'Now normally have deals where you get free shipping so you save time and Grab transportation fees by having your food shipped to your door! :) New post idea! I'll write more on this in a later post.


Anyways, back to the glass bottles. I get so excited when I touch them! The glass just feels so nice! The bottles are 8k each, but you can save them and once you have 10, you get to trade them in and get 1 free 500ml green smoothie. Their 500ml green smoothies are about 85k, so with 10 bottles at 8k each, you pay 80k, but trade in and get 85k worth. See the upside here? I hope you do because that's such a deal. We benefit our health by drinking from glass rather than plastic, and we contribute to saving the environment too!

One major detail I must add is that the fruits and vegetables they use are VietGap grade or organic. VietGAP (Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices) means they are of high quality standard. Much more guaranteed cleanliness than the produce you buy in the street markets and if you are eating/drinking the greens raw, you got to be careful about where you buy them.

They also have packages you can sign up for, and they will ship to you everyday. Personally, I just order on D'Now, but I figured I should add this detail in case you are interested.

Enjoy!
