The Bodega Smoothie Challenge

Inspired by an old Buzzfeed post called the Bodega Cocktail Challenge, we recently decided to try a similar experiment with smoothies. We asked three R29'ers to converge on a random bodega in Brooklyn and then we pit them against each in a time-pressured battle for glory. It was like the Hunger Games, but for smoothies. Here's the 411:

The Challenge: To make the best smoothie EVER, using only ingredients from a street corner deli.

The Contenders: Elettra “Fruit Hater” Wiedemann; Venus “The Wrong” Wong; Annie “Green In The Face” Greenberg

The Stakes: Glory, bragging rights, pride.
