EDIT: By popular request, I've put all the recipes for these smoothies in the description! This is how I made mine. If you take out all the 'special' ingredients you could probably make them for MUCH cheaper... I bet they'd still taste amazing too... if not better! What do you guys think about these smoothies? Would you ever buy one? Take the time to make one?
Isnt it also that you can write it of as a business expense and have Pay less tax or something? (I truly dont know I am not from america and I dont know how this all works if someone can explain it to me that would be fabulous thanks)
To add further insult to injury, their nutrition stats aren't even accurately portrayed. Many of these contain maple syrup, such as the Skin Glaze, which should be listed as an added sugar. They seem to be trying to sneak past that despite maple syrup being naturally derived and not nearly as processed as cane sugar, it is still considered an added sugar and should be labeled as such. I promise you, they're not all that.
It should not be labeled as an added sugar. Its food that contains sugar and therefore should be reflected simply as "Sugars" under carbohydrates. That's literally how nutritional labels are meant to work. Its supposed to state in simple terms the amount of sugar in product, regardless of where it came from.
@@adammiller9029 Maple syrup is considered to be an added sugar, as is honey. Maple syrup is not a "food," it's basically sugar water. Like it's literally comprised of 60% sugars (mostly sucrose) and 30% water with 0% fiber and negligible protein. It's something you ADD to other foods and don't just eat on its own, thus its classification as an ADDED sugar. The sugar from something like dates is not counted as added sugar because a date is an actual fruit, you can eat a date as a snack if you wanted. Dates are 60% sugar (pretty evenly split between fructose, glucose, and sucrose), 20% water, 8% fiber, and ~2% protein.
Not only did they ask multiple times 'why' I was asking, they also had to EMAIL it to me because they dont have it posted online anywhere! They didn't email it for hours...
@@RosannaPansino you know those folks were panicking and frantic after getting off that phone call. 😅 I hope if they asked for your name you used an alias cause if you didn't they may have added you to their list of bad people. 😂 Loved the video.
They DON’T want people to know the nutritional info because it completely blows their “health food” marketing out of the water! I would bet dollars to doughnuts that if they had those nutrition facts up front and center showing that most of their smoothies have 700-1000 calories, and 80gm of sugar, their clientele would not be buying them! You basically just showed these to be hyped up milkshakes, and it’s CRAZY!!!
The fact that they asked why you want to know the nutritional information ?! That too _multiple_ times !? Something's very sus The amount of calories and sugar in those smoothies ? Literally what's going on it's disturbing
what’s worse is that if a young woman is trying to lose weight and models her diet after thin female celebrities and tries to make these smoothies often she’s just gonna end up wasting a ton of money and feeling awful when it doesn’t work
For some reason I thought it was illegal to not have your nutritional information somewhere easily accessible to the average person-who isn't going to know what to do if that information isn't right in front of their face or online!
I researched this a little bit and I think in california you only have to list it if you have at least 10 or 20 stores (I cant remember the exact number). Seems like Erewhon has less stores than that so they can get away with it (thats my best guess).
It’s because it’s a huge burden I think for small businesses and restaurants to get that information. But it is unusual for a large corporation to not have it available.
As someone with a mast cell disorder that causes me to have soooo many severe allergies, i really appreciate you going through the effort to track down all the ingredients. Its wold to me that they dont have those listed anywhere. Let alone how many sugars are in them. That has to be a nightmare if you're diabetic or hypoglycemic and trying to balance your sugars.
Agreed. It’s already annoying to find the information (especially when you have to scavenger it in a website) but having to call them and interrogate you on why you want it multiple times is baffling.
The fact they use Stevia is wild even with all that sugar... Also the fact you had to EMAIL TO FIND THAT OUT! I AM HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO STEVIA! I could have been sent to the hospital!!
@@yoshisarethebomb Alternate sweeteners like stevia are zero calories because our bodies can't digest them. It's generally considered okay for people with diabetes to consume stevia, but it's always a good idea to talk to a doctor if you're not sure what is and isn't okay for you to eat. The high sugar and calorie content in these smoothies comes from the sugars in ingredients like fruit and syrup.
@@Pinkyc0rn332because just like this person said, it's not enough for them. they need to have more and more and more sugar. no wonder american people are so unhealthy
@@gachatana9656 no we are paying the electric bill for the blender and manual labor. smoothies are not their only product. Also $1 upcharge would be enough for rent for 100 customers a day.
@@editoe_bno it isn't you have no clue what it takes to own a food service business. 1$ is nothing and will not cover it. Manuel labour is very expensive.....so is rent. ANY food service is going to charge you about 3x the cost of ingredients....they don't have a choice otherwise they lose money.
*Forty seven grams of saturated fat?!?!* That's more than double the amount you're supposed to have over a whole day! Heart attack much?! And they try to market these as health food!? Absolutely ridiculous...
I know right!? But I don't think the fat content count is correct. There was saturated fat listed, but no unsaturated fat, even when there were ingredients containing unsaturated fats. Very odd. It makes me wonder what other numbers aren't mathing.
It's the coconut cream. If I guessed right, the amount they put on one cup can be cooked for 2-3 savory dishes (coconut cream is super delicious though). Ridiculous indeed.
@@elenalizabeth you probably can, but i’m guessing the coconut cream is a substitute for dairy/heavy cream so i don’t know how it would turn out haha. I would just omit it entirely or use barista’s oat milk for added consistency.
Honestly just take out the glaze and the maple syrups and you will probably loose a lot of sugar and calories Like adding maple syrup to a FRUIT smoothie seems so unnecessary haha
I’ve had one Erewhon smoothie in my life. It was so sweet that it was actually disgusting. If you’re diabetic, or even borderline diabetic, don’t drink them. Nobody should be consuming that much sugar. If you want to make these at home you can get sugar free maple syrup. Walmart and Target both sell it.
Looking at the nutritional panel provided by Ro it looks like there isn’t any added sugar from erewhon, it’s the sugar from the fruit. Added sugars said 0
I watched nerdy nummies religiously as a teen, maybe 13 years ago, and loved your vibe, I insisted on calling spatulas 'muh-spatula', even though they are not even called spatulas in my language. I grew out of watching your videos, and didnt come back until your coverage of mr Beast. I am happy to be back, you seem just as sweet as when I was a teen.
I LOVE that you made this video exposing the sugar and caloric count of these smoothies! The sugar count alone makes me hesistant to try an Erewhon smoothies, even though I’m so curious on how they taste. I’m going to make my own dupes at home as well with some alt ingredients 💕🥤Thank you Ro! 👑
I love your videos!! On a side note. EREWHON is not paying anything close to what retail prices are for the ingredients. Its more like 1/3 of what grocery stores charge. So the $11 peach smoothie you made likely cost them around $4 to make.
I wonder if it’s extra sweet to ‘trap’ those who have a sugar addiction. Erewhon makes me think “health food” - it’s literally called skin smoothie, superfood, ect. - so those who want that sweet fix but want to be healthy will pay extra for health. They’ll believe it’s healthier, and worth their health to keep paying for it? And maybe people assumed it’s artificial sweetener because celebrities aren’t drinking that much processed sugar on the regular.
The prices are astronomical and i can't imagine they pay employees that well, but the *hidden* nutrition info, and the caloric value of these smoothies is OUTRAGEOUS. I can see why they hide it, I am like, the least fussed about calories of everyone I know and I am still shocked by these. I am *floored*.
I'm not sure what shocked me more, the ridiculous prices or the calorie/sugar/fat content! Makes me glad I stick to Jamba Juice, I just checked their website for their nutrition info and it's way less calories/sugar/fat and they charge way less. Love you Ro! Thanks for spilling the tea (or smoothie in this case!)
My guess is that the bright color between yours and the more muted color between theirs is that there’s been time elapsed between the one from the store and the one you made if I have leftover smoothie and put it in my refrigerator for even a little bit the color definitely fades. I can’t believe they’re trying to say that celebrities are drinking these and if they are, that’s all they’re drinking all day and the price becomes a lot more reasonable if you make them at home and don’t drink what are those like 1620 ounce 24 ounce?
This was really interesting (and fun) 💚Those prices are completely outrageous. Especially when you factor in their ingredients being purchased in wholesale/bulk quantities, therefore making the mark up even greater!
I go to my local Asain places because they're typically less sweet. Bakeries, bubble tea shops (you can request which percentage of sugar when ordering). Smoothie King started here, and you can always ask them to leave out the turbinado (sugar). I'm an American who wishes that more places/products would use less sugar. It's not necessary, especially in fruit smoothies.
Wait……doesn’t the nutritional information have to be easy accessible by law? It should be on the website bare minimum under each smoothie listing. Having to call is insane
I would love to know the difference in nutritional value too between your method and the storebought, I feel like yours has to be so much better for you!
It's probably the same since she used the same ingredients. The recipes have a ridiculous amount of saturated fat. They could reduce the calories and sat fat by not putting a boat load of coconut in. They also don't need to waste money on maple syrup to add sugar. They just do all this because it has an air of "health" about it even though you're still going to raise your cholesterol and type 2 diabetes risk consuming these regularly.
@@Pugkin5405 I don't know what you're basing that on, but she's using the same ingredients. That wouldn't change the sugar content or other macro and micronutrients.
@@Pugkin5405 sure. I thought she was using pretty similar amounts. Either way, I think people underestimate how much sugar is in things. Especially when it comes to "natural" ingredients or foods that have a health halo, like a smoothie. They're automatically seen as "healthy" when they can have a ton of added sugar and calories.
I love how Ro uploads videos every Saturday! I always look forward to watching them knowing they will make me smile! Thank you for everything you do Ro! We love you ❤️
This is like a conspiracy theory! 😂 What in those smoothies possibly add up to that many calories?! They also don't say they're "healthy" explicitly but they're definitely not making it sound that high in calories and sugar! I'm just blown away 😅😮.
Well, I *was* excited to try an Erewhon smoothie when I go to visit LA for the first time. But after seeing the sugar/calorie info? Absolutely not. Yikes! I'll DIY it. Thanks!
Ro, this is an incredible video! I always look forward to what you're going to post, and this one was so good! Sharing those price differences really can help someone to save money and go all-natural! You are truly the best. 🥰
Love how you, have never missed a Saturday upload!! Love all your videos!! This one just made my day!!! I’ll have to try these smoothies, and I’ll let you know how they taste!😊 thanks for being an inspiration and my favorite TH-camr🩵🩷💜
As a diabetic (type 1) I need to know the carbs of what I eat. It’s so frustrating they would be suspicious of why you asked for nutritional info, like I need that for everything I consume.
usually that is included in general carbs with added sugar being called out separately. it's pretty shady that they don't share the full nutritional info like that
fructose is a monosaccharide just like glucose. It is not healthier just because it's natural (glucose is natural too by the way). Normal household sugar is just a kind of mix between glucose and fructose. So no your mango sugar is not healthier than any other sugar. But the overall nutritional value of a mango is of course higher than that of a piece of cake.
There is a ton of juice in these. Fruit sugar is fine , but when you juice it and take away the fibre ect … way less healthy. True smoothies shouldn’t have juice in them and its always healthier to eat the fruit whole. Also sugar it self isnt that bad it’s when people have ultra processed foods that have a ton of added sugar thats the problem .
High in calories, fat, and sugar. Of course it tastes good . The celebrities might advertise this stuff, but no way are those super skinny women consuming that many calories. Unless that is the only thing they ate all day.
Literally thank you so much for debunking this because I’ve always thought about how much they overcharge and was starting to think it was justified because of the special ingredients, Ro you’re literally a superhero for debunking this😭
honestly the main reason why i personally would rather make these at home (well, besides not being in the us and not having access to an erewhon lol), besides the inflated price, is honestly just the ability to make like... half the amount. Because that nutritional info is insane and those glasses are massive, i bet it would be just as satisfying and a lot more reasonable to have about half of that huge glass!
The less saturated colour in the ersehen smoothies compared to the homemade ones might be because the fruit has oxidized in the time it took to order them and bring them to the set. Even if they’ve been refrigerated, that fruit has still been exposed to air longer. That being said, that sugar content is insane!
You did such an amaaaazing job at recreating them. Thay all looked gorgeous and definitely brighter and better than the original Erewhon ones. Well done 👏👌
Thank you so much for getting those ingredients & showing us how to make these at home. It's wild that you had to call & wait for them to email you the list while they kept asking you why you wanted to know the ingredients. I have both texture issues with certain foods & intolerances to others so had I wanted to try these myself I could have at best ended up just having a negative experience with a texture & feeling like I wasted my money or worse could have had an allergic reaction from this company's lack of transparency with ingredients
if it's something people care about, it's worth noting that blue spirulina is a specific extract pulled from the spirulina to isolate that lovely blue colour, and it's much less nutritionally valuable than the whole spirulina (which is a very dark forest green). if you want the natural blue, go with the extract, but if you actually want all the benefits (including all the iron calcium and protein!) then go for the whole green one
i would have loved to see the calorie comparison to the homemade because with the ingredients they use, i’m curious to know where all those calories are coming from
Fun facts on food pricing: grocery stores sell smoothies and fruit juices to get rid of food that doesn’t look good enough for the shelf any more. For example if you’re in LA there’s maybe 50 max wholesale food suppliers and from that there’s maybe only 2-3 companies max distributing the strawberries for example, and underneath that is maybe one massive aggregator for farms that distributes to all of them. So for example if I bought a case of 12 boxes of strawberries for 1.50 a box and sold it for 6.99, if I self 2 boxes I’ve recovered my cost and then some. So the margin on the fruit for a smoothie (which is the left over fruit frozen) is 100%+ for every item. So the $8 you spent for example is actually not representative of the actual (which is maaaaybe $2.75 per smoothie) and so if they sold it for $19 then they’ve made almost 8x profit actually. And as well all of the natural ingredients (spiraling, hyaluronic, collagen) are basically in negligible quantities and for example Hyaluronic acid has no effect if you eat it.

When you have figured out all the natural ways to dye things (like you mentioned with the blue smoothie), please make a video about it! I’d love to know what to do to have the fun of colors for kids without all the bad dyes. Having the nutritional/health/whatever other information with it would be nice, if possible, too😊
The general recommended markup is 30-50% for food kiosks depending on whether or not they are specialty (all natural, organic, vitamin enhanced, etc.) and local minimum wage for employees. That considered, the prices aren't THAT outrageous for some of them. I guess it's a matter of whether you can justify spending that amount for one shake. 😬
I am not defending the outrageous prices. But a store needs to include building expenses, staffing expenses, etc..... Which probably adds maybe 50 cents to the smoothie.
I'd like to point out that since it is a company they probably have contracts to get the ingredients for cheaper than the consumer. So the mark up is higher too.
I have saved this video for my delicious smoothie 🥤 recipes I wpuld definitely buy them if you had a smoothie shop Ro,yours looks so much more healthier and vibrant 😍

Heyy lol i luv ur vids u guys slay ro and mike
I would never buy these! I can definitely get fresher ingredients nearby and I don’t really care about celebrities to be honest
Erewhons prices may be even cheaper because they get their produce at bulk prices. She is purchasing them at consumer prices.
Exactly. They may also pay lower tax rates for the ingredients than consumers pay for the prepared smoothie, depending on state tax laws.
Also you have to price in labour and rent, advertising etc into it. A markeup of 100% ist pretty normal for ready made food items
Isn't Erewhon also a supermarket? They don't just get it at bulk prices, they get them at direct-from-producer costs
Isnt it also that you can write it of as a business expense and have Pay less tax or something? (I truly dont know I am not from america and I dont know how this all works if someone can explain it to me that would be fabulous thanks)

I’m trying to convert the usd to aud and no one in australia would ever pay $30+ for a smoothie.
I'm not sure what shocked me more, the ridiculous prices or the calorie/sugar/fat content! Makes me glad I stick to Jamba Juice, I just checked their website for their nutrition info and it's way less calories/sugar/fat and they charge way less. Love you Ro! Thanks for spilling the tea (or smoothie in this case!)
My guess is that the bright color between yours and the more muted color between theirs is that there’s been time elapsed between the one from the store and the one you made if I have leftover smoothie and put it in my refrigerator for even a little bit the color definitely fades. I can’t believe they’re trying to say that celebrities are drinking these and if they are, that’s all they’re drinking all day and the price becomes a lot more reasonable if you make them at home and don’t drink what are those like 1620 ounce 24 ounce?
This was really interesting (and fun) 💚Those prices are completely outrageous. Especially when you factor in their ingredients being purchased in wholesale/bulk quantities, therefore making the mark up even greater!
I go to my local Asain places because they're typically less sweet. Bakeries, bubble tea shops (you can request which percentage of sugar when ordering). Smoothie King started here, and you can always ask them to leave out the turbinado (sugar). I'm an American who wishes that more places/products would use less sugar. It's not necessary, especially in fruit smoothies.
Wait……doesn’t the nutritional information have to be easy accessible by law? It should be on the website bare minimum under each smoothie listing. Having to call is insane
I love how Mike sitting down is still taller than Ro standing up!
A+++ to Ro for recreating the drink aesthetics!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I would love to know the difference in nutritional value too between your method and the storebought, I feel like yours has to be so much better for you!
It's probably the same since she used the same ingredients. The recipes have a ridiculous amount of saturated fat. They could reduce the calories and sat fat by not putting a boat load of coconut in. They also don't need to waste money on maple syrup to add sugar. They just do all this because it has an air of "health" about it even though you're still going to raise your cholesterol and type 2 diabetes risk consuming these regularly.
@@linseylinseyHers almost certainly have less sugar, so it would be a bit different. I wouldn't be surprised if the other values were different too
@@Pugkin5405 I don't know what you're basing that on, but she's using the same ingredients. That wouldn't change the sugar content or other macro and micronutrients.
@@linseylinsey You can use the same ingredients but use different amounts. If they taste different, there's something different about them
@@Pugkin5405 sure. I thought she was using pretty similar amounts. Either way, I think people underestimate how much sugar is in things. Especially when it comes to "natural" ingredients or foods that have a health halo, like a smoothie. They're automatically seen as "healthy" when they can have a ton of added sugar and calories.
I love how Ro uploads videos every Saturday! I always look forward to watching them knowing they will make me smile! Thank you for everything you do Ro! We love you ❤️
a singular smoothie having close to 1000 calories is insane😭😭
How can they legally not have the nutritional facts available for the public?!
Wow!! This was so so cool and crazy lol to watch all the sugar and the price woah!!
LOL reaction at the end was priceless!!
Glad you liked it!!
This is like a conspiracy theory! 😂 What in those smoothies possibly add up to that many calories?! They also don't say they're "healthy" explicitly but they're definitely not making it sound that high in calories and sugar! I'm just blown away 😅😮.
I guess they're mostly maple syrup and coconut cream
Well, I *was* excited to try an Erewhon smoothie when I go to visit LA for the first time. But after seeing the sugar/calorie info? Absolutely not. Yikes! I'll DIY it. Thanks!
IDK, this doesn't even sound anywhere close to what a "smoothie" would be where I live (practically no syrup/sugar added, just fruit). 😅
I love that Ro is low key dragging Erewhon🤣
There's really nothing low key about this dragging.😂
@@INatalkaIthey deserve it
"This one's from Erewhon," Mike wisely says of the other smoothie, after hearing Ro writhing in delight that he prefers hers. 😂
Lmao that was funny.
Ro, this is an incredible video! I always look forward to what you're going to post, and this one was so good! Sharing those price differences really can help someone to save money and go all-natural! You are truly the best. 🥰
Love how you, have never missed a Saturday upload!! Love all your videos!! This one just made my day!!! I’ll have to try these smoothies, and I’ll let you know how they taste!😊 thanks for being an inspiration and my favorite TH-camr🩵🩷💜
Haven't missed an upload in over 10 years!

As a diabetic (type 1) I need to know the carbs of what I eat. It’s so frustrating they would be suspicious of why you asked for nutritional info, like I need that for everything I consume.
I LOOOOOOOVE Mike's nonchalant but blunt review. A true friend that will tell you how it is. I f you start a business, you need a friend like this!
Love this we need to remember fruit sugar is not enemy one mango = 40-50g of natural sugar depending on size 🥭
usually that is included in general carbs with added sugar being called out separately. it's pretty shady that they don't share the full nutritional info like that
fructose is a monosaccharide just like glucose. It is not healthier just because it's natural (glucose is natural too by the way).
Normal household sugar is just a kind of mix between glucose and fructose. So no your mango sugar is not healthier than any other sugar. But the overall nutritional value of a mango is of course higher than that of a piece of cake.
That is just not true. Sugar is sugar. And you don’t note 70 g of it in an drink.
There is a ton of juice in these. Fruit sugar is fine , but when you juice it and take away the fibre ect … way less healthy. True smoothies shouldn’t have juice in them and its always healthier to eat the fruit whole. Also sugar it self isnt that bad it’s when people have ultra processed foods that have a ton of added sugar thats the problem .
High in calories, fat, and sugar. Of course it tastes good . The celebrities might advertise this stuff, but no way are those super skinny women consuming that many calories. Unless that is the only thing they ate all day.
Literally thank you so much for debunking this because I’ve always thought about how much they overcharge and was starting to think it was justified because of the special ingredients, Ro you’re literally a superhero for debunking this😭
honestly the main reason why i personally would rather make these at home (well, besides not being in the us and not having access to an erewhon lol), besides the inflated price, is honestly just the ability to make like... half the amount. Because that nutritional info is insane and those glasses are massive, i bet it would be just as satisfying and a lot more reasonable to have about half of that huge glass!
coming back to watch you is soooo refreshing. tysm ro
Welcome back!
Hey, i remember when your channel was just beggining! Proud of u
The less saturated colour in the ersehen smoothies compared to the homemade ones might be because the fruit has oxidized in the time it took to order them and bring them to the set. Even if they’ve been refrigerated, that fruit has still been exposed to air longer. That being said, that sugar content is insane!
Erewhon*
Fun fact: to get the benefits from Turmeric you need pepper! Also, Superfood is really just a label to charge you outrageous prices!
Ro: "Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie. I'm guessing it tastes like strawberries--"
Me: "No, it tastes like skin 😈"
Same thought here.
I had no idea there would be THAT much sugar. A fool and their money is some party; I agree with Ro about how obnoxiously priced they are
you and mike are so adorable, great video
You did such an amaaaazing job at recreating them. Thay all looked gorgeous and definitely brighter and better than the original Erewhon ones. Well done 👏👌
The price mark ups are crazy, every single one of these was 100% or more marked up
Here for your investigative journalism era.
Thank you so much for getting those ingredients & showing us how to make these at home. It's wild that you had to call & wait for them to email you the list while they kept asking you why you wanted to know the ingredients. I have both texture issues with certain foods & intolerances to others so had I wanted to try these myself I could have at best ended up just having a negative experience with a texture & feeling like I wasted my money or worse could have had an allergic reaction from this company's lack of transparency with ingredients
21:33 “OH MY GOAOOUHAUHAHHAH” love you guys 😅
if it's something people care about, it's worth noting that blue spirulina is a specific extract pulled from the spirulina to isolate that lovely blue colour, and it's much less nutritionally valuable than the whole spirulina (which is a very dark forest green). if you want the natural blue, go with the extract, but if you actually want all the benefits (including all the iron calcium and protein!) then go for the whole green one
Love this new video concept❤️
Girl I love your hair, it’s gorgeous!
I've never heard of EREWHON smoothies. However, I love the colors of both versions of the Coconut Cloud smoothie :D
i would have loved to see the calorie comparison to the homemade because with the ingredients they use, i’m curious to know where all those calories are coming from
I get that the fruit has natural sugar, but are they just going crazy with the maple? I'm so confused how the peach one has 80 grams of sugar.
Fun facts on food pricing: grocery stores sell smoothies and fruit juices to get rid of food that doesn’t look good enough for the shelf any more. For example if you’re in LA there’s maybe 50 max wholesale food suppliers and from that there’s maybe only 2-3 companies max distributing the strawberries for example, and underneath that is maybe one massive aggregator for farms that distributes to all of them. So for example if I bought a case of 12 boxes of strawberries for 1.50 a box and sold it for 6.99, if I self 2 boxes I’ve recovered my cost and then some. So the margin on the fruit for a smoothie (which is the left over fruit frozen) is 100%+ for every item. So the $8 you spent for example is actually not representative of the actual (which is maaaaybe $2.75 per smoothie) and so if they sold it for $19 then they’ve made almost 8x profit actually. And as well all of the natural ingredients (spiraling, hyaluronic, collagen) are basically in negligible quantities and for example Hyaluronic acid has no effect if you eat it.
21:24. +0:58. = big red flags Just for. Nutrition facts. And mike delivers outstanding content with his humor. Awesome hair mike. Definitely do more of these I’m curious. Now what are they hiding
i swear i walked into erewhon twice so far and have only ever bought one fruit juice (just for the bottle LOL)! thanks for the recipes ro!
if rosana pansino opens a smoothie shop i am 100% going idc how expensive they are i trust her to make a smoothie

I just hate the fact that you have to pay for parking. Like this is not a club. This is not fine dining. It’s a damn supermarket.
I rather make a smoothie at home than buying a pricy one 😂

When you have figured out all the natural ways to dye things (like you mentioned with the blue smoothie), please make a video about it! I’d love to know what to do to have the fun of colors for kids without all the bad dyes. Having the nutritional/health/whatever other information with it would be nice, if possible, too😊

@@RosannaPansinoyou nicest youtuber ever ❤
The general recommended markup is 30-50% for food kiosks depending on whether or not they are specialty (all natural, organic, vitamin enhanced, etc.) and local minimum wage for employees. That considered, the prices aren't THAT outrageous for some of them. I guess it's a matter of whether you can justify spending that amount for one shake. 😬
I am not defending the outrageous prices. But a store needs to include building expenses, staffing expenses, etc..... Which probably adds maybe 50 cents to the smoothie.
Watching Rosanna with black hair is like watching Teresa (Mexican show protagonist) showing me how to do sweet stuff 😂 and reviewing things
I can't wait to see your new video ro ❤️
I'd like to point out that since it is a company they probably have contracts to get the ingredients for cheaper than the consumer. So the mark up is higher too.
Hi Ro!! I love your channellll ❤
Thank you!
I have saved this video for my delicious smoothie 🥤 recipes I wpuld definitely buy them if you had a smoothie shop Ro,yours looks so much more healthier and vibrant 😍
