Some of the smoothie types they have are kids smoothies, energy smoothies, berry smoothies, protein smoothies, and even hot drinks. Juiceland also has an assortment of foods.

“My favorite smoothie from Juiceland is the Home Run [apple juice, banana, and strawberry],” seventh grader Russell W. said. “I like it because it is not that expensive. The ingredients are simple and go really well together. It’s overall a really good smoothie.”

Juiceland is well known for their unique environment and freshly produced smoothies. Many students at Gorzycki like Juiceland for their bright colors, fun designs and their smoothies.

“Juiceland has a relaxing environment,” sixth grader Emily W. said. “Inside, it has bright green and orange colors. I also like Juiceland’s open, calming atmosphere.”

Students at Gorzycki have different opinions on the pricing at Juiceland. Most students think that Juiceland is overpriced but some disagree. A simple small smoothie at Juiceland can cost $4.95 or more; a large can be as expensive as $12.95.

“I think Juiceland is really overpriced because the small is really expensive,” seventh grader Allison F. said. “There is not that many ingredients so it really shouldn’t be that expensive.”

Seventh grader Russell W. disagrees with seventh grader Allison.

“I don’t really think it’s overpriced,” seventh grader Russell said. “I mean, the prices they have there seem reasonable because the smoothies are so good.”
