With this being the “green” issue and all, we decided it be best to tie that theme into our column.
I had the perfect idea.
There is a Starbucks located right next to a Vitamin Shoppe on the corner of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Congress Avenue.
So I picked up a delicious green tea from Starbucks, less than $2, and we headed over to the Vitamin Shoppe.
The green tea was chilled and delightful. It gave me just the right boost of energy to handle walking through the vitamin store.
The first thing I saw was called Green Tea Energy Fusion, which was a $25 box of individual powders to pour into water bottles.
The energy fusion is supposed to recharge you and help you through your day.
Dave and I walked a little further down the herb aisle and saw a variety of green tea bags. For around $5.99, prices may vary, you can look classy and boil some green tea.
If you want to sound smart, call green tea sencha. That is what all the celebrities call it.
We wandered further into this beacon of health and found Organic Green Tea for $7.99. A little more pricey but with all natural ingredients, it might be worth it.
Dave wandered off and started looking at other somewhat green supplements, including Cat’s Claw and Ginseng.
“Dave! This is the green issue, not the ginseng issue,” I yelled at him.
Victory! My quest was over when I found Liquid Green Tea Max for $17.99.
It is a bottle in which you put a couple drops into a bottle of water to rev it up a bit. We had found the Max, where do we go from here?
I decided on what to buy and we ventured on to the check out counter. Drum roll please.
“Would you like anything else with your protein bar?” the Vitamin Shoppe clerk with curly black hair asked.
“No, I’m fine.”
What? So I decided against green tea. I was hungry.
By the way, we left the store and I finished my green tea from Starbucks and the weirdest thing happened; I was tired.
