The Perfect Smoothie for Your Mood at Happy & Hale

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Duke chapter.

What would our lives be like without Happy & Hale smoothies? They are healthy, delicious, energizing and even photogenic; you truly can’t ask for more. However, after what feels like a thousand visits to Happy & Hale, I have realized that when I’m in certain moods, I end up craving certain smoothies over others. Each smoothie has a different taste, and ultimately each one seems better depending on my mood. Read on for my master list of feels and blends. 

Before a Workout – City of Oats

There’s no question you need a ton of energy before working out. You might also be looking for something delicious to give you that extra motivation to go to the gym. City of Oats is the perfect smoothie to drink before working out. It has everything you need: banana, strawberries, almond milk, cinnamon, date, steel cut oats, and most importantly, peanut butter. These ingredients will give you all the energy you need- making you ready to hit the gym!

Craving Sweets – Almond Brothers  

Almond Brothers is the perfect solution for satisfying my sweet tooth. It’s really sweet, but not too much, and is also healthy. It’s not very liquid, so it feels like you are actually eating something rather than drinking it, which is always a better option for my sweet cravings. It has chocolate almond milk, banana, almond butter and ground coffee in it, so if you’re also trying to wake up, Almond Brothers will definitely do the trick.

Not Too Hungry, but Looking for a Boost – Aloe-Ha

Looking for a smoothie to drink when you’re not really hungry, but NEED some energy to be able to continue the day? Aloe-Ha is the answer. It’s very light, yet delicious and energizing. With coconut water, mint, blueberries, orange and mango, it’s as refreshing as a tropical vacation. It also pairs perfectly with a salad or avocado toast, for when you are feeling a little more hungry. If you’re on a low-calorie diet, this smoothie might be your go-to drink: it has only 150 calories.

Stuck in the Library – Hale Mary

Midterm season requires all of us to be awake and ready to learn 100% of the time. Although coffee is helpful, a caffeine tolerance is all too easy to develop. After a certain point, that cold brew you love might not be affecting you at all. In such cases, Hale Mary can be your perfect study partner. It contains almond milk, banana, spinach, curly kale, pineapple and avocado. All these flavors make for an incredible tasting and energy boosting smoothie, that’s also way more nutrient-dense than coffee.

I was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, and attended a German High School there: so I basically grew up exposed to both European and Middle Eastern cultures (and also food) . I am planning on majoring in Visual&Media Studies with a certificate in Markets&Management Studies. I have always loved writing and journalism, especially about things I am personally interested in.
