| The Orange Inn in Laguna Beach, CA |
It's not everyday you get to try the original smoothie, and today was the day. Read my full review with pictures after the break.
Today was a warm, beautiful January day in Laguna Beach, California (on the Pacific Ocean between Los Angeles and San Diego). We arrived a little after lunch (
we ate lunch at Chili John's in Burbank). The Orange Inn is very easy to find, and we got to park right in front, although I'm sure that on a busy summer day the parking would be hard to find.

| The Orange Inn smoothie is the original smoothie |
The Orange Inn claims to have created the first smoothie way back in 1931. Well maybe they did. All I know is that it's the perfect drink on a warm day at the beach. It's cold, but not icy, and sweet, but not too sweet.

There's no dairy or ice cream. It's fresh strawberries, bananas, dates, juice, bee pollen, and ice. Very refreshing and delicious.

We also tried a coconut pineapple shake. Creamy, cold and delicious.
I will definitely return to The Orange Inn the next time I am in Laguna Beach.
I found out about The Orange Inn from
Roadfood, an excellent book on road trip food:
