During our recent vacation to Japan, we discovered a lot in seven-eleven, a famous convenience store in the country. This store is our daily stop on that trip, where we used to pick quick snacks or grab-and-go meals. They sell ready-to-blend cups filled with fresh fruit mixtures and also have a special blending machine. You can pick, pay, scan the cup in the machine which tells the machine what mixture you’ve picked. Just open the seal and place it inside the machine. It makes fresh juice by adding water in front of your eyes. How cool is that! One of our favourite flavour is fresh strawberry smoothie.
