Jimmy Reed: All right, Lauren! You wanna test out another smoothie that I prepared?
Lauren Taylor: smiling Yeah, Jimmy, I think so.
Jimmy Reed: Okay, this one isn’t anywhere near as sweet as the chocolate mint sanguinaccio smoothie. Instead, this one has more of a… a savoury-spicy taste to it.
Lauren Taylor: Oh, that’s gotta be quite interesting. I’m ready.
Jimmy Reed: All right, then! Here you go! hands Lauren the glass
Lauren Taylor: reaches for the glass and takes a sip Mm, this is quite good! So, uh, what’s this one called?
Jimmy Reed: I call this one the… the ultimate vampire red smoothie!
Lauren Taylor: Well, I can sorta taste a hint of blood - combined with tomatoes, a touch of paprika, a touch of Tabasco, a touch of cayenne pepper, and… and a good dose of coconut.
Jimmy Reed: That’s right! I used two whole fresh tomatoes, one and a half cup coconut water, one-half cup coconut milk, and one-half cup blood. Indeed, it is a very good source of… blood nutrients. Hence, the ultimate vampire red smoothie.
Lauren Taylor: Well, I gotta admit that I prefer the chocolate mint sanguinaccio smoothie - but this one is certainly good for a… a light meal.
Jimmy Reed: giving Lauren a gentle squeeze Well, honey, I’m glad you enjoy it!
