Opening Menu

We just completed our first training session with our employees.  The input from our employees have been very helpful and we've adjusted the opening menu based on their suggestions.  

Each drink is 24oz.  Most drinks contain 8oz. of ice, 8 oz. of fruit(s), 4 oz. of liquid (soy, carrot juice, orange juice), and a banana.  That's 3-4 servings of fruit/vegetables in each smoothie.  (To employees: remember 8-8-4 and a banana). 

Strawberry-Mango: 1 cup strawberry and mango, 1 cup ice, 1 banana, half cup orange juice
Strawberry-Mango tart: 1 cup strawberry, mango, and lemon, 1 cup ice, 1 banana, half cup orange juice
Mango-Pineapple: 1 cup mango and pineapple, 1 cup ice, 1 banana, half cup carrot juice
Mango-Azuki: 1 cup azuki, half cup mango, 1 cup ice, 1 banana, half cup soy
Strawberry-blueberry tart: 1 cup strawberry, mango, and lemon, 1 cup ice, 1 banana, half cup orange juice
Strawberry-Kale: 1 cup strawberry and lemon, 1 kale leaf, 1 cup ice, 1 banana, half cup carrot juice

Sin Menu

Bacon Milkshake: 5 scoops vanilla ice cream, touch of heavy cream, half cup soy, 1 bacon (or 2?). 
Mango Milkshake: 1 cup mango and lemon, 3 scoops of ice cream, half cup soy

----------------------------------

We think 8 menu items will be manageable to start.  We'll increase menu offerings to twelve.

  3. I'm interested in finding out how the oil drippings in the bacon mix (separate?) from the creamy properties of the ice cream and heavy cream. Sounds like a diarrhea waiting to happen.

  4. We're leaning toward using 2 bacon pieces for reasons we'll explain later.

    We use pork bacon (not boar), Kirkland Signature brand. Is there such a thing as organic bacon (they eat, like, organic food)? No need for thick-cut.

    Not much oil drippings because we use pre-cooked bacon. The oil isn't going to cause the shits. The heavy cream and ice-cream will. But that's how it is with sinful pleasures.
