Transport yourself to a springtime paradise with the luscious blend of sweet strawberries and tangy rhubarb in our signature Strawberry Rhubarb Smoothie. Bursting with flavor and vibrant hues, this refreshing concoction is a delightful celebration of seasonal goodness. Rhubarb is an early spring treat in Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin and is often one of the first crops to be harvested in spring.
Originating in Asia over 2,000 years ago, rhubarb was initially prized for its medicinal properties. It wasn’t until the 18th century that it made its way into European kitchens, where it gained popularity as a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.
Fast forward to the 19th century, when rhubarb found its perfect match in strawberries. No one knows who started it first, but our collective gratitude goes out to the legendary cook who first recognized the complementary flavors of tart rhubarb and sweet strawberries. Due to their heroic efforts, the pairing became a culinary sensation, appearing in pies, jams, and, as of right now, smoothies.
Whether you’re starting your day on a bright note or cooling off after a long afternoon, our smoothie is the ultimate indulgence. Plus, it’s packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, making it not only delicious but also nutritious. Treat yourself to a taste of spring with our irresistible Strawberry Rhubarb Smoothie – it’s like sunshine in a glass!
