Corn Smoothie, Anyone?


Well, parents are always saying they want more healthy fast food options, right? The other day, Erik and I were at The Falls, and we were stopped in our tracks by what appeared to be a corn restaurant. Yes, I said corn restaurant. Corn2Go is indeed a corn restaurant that serves flavored corn in the cup, in addition to cornbread, corn soups, and yes, corn smoothies, according to their menu.

As we watched, a lady walked away from the Corn2Go kiosk at The Falls happily eating a cup of corn, and sharing with her toddler.

It's a weird concept, but then again, not all that far-fetched. When we go to festivals, the corn on the cob stand is always wildly popular, and so are the arepa stands all over town. Of all the vegetables, almost everyone--including most kids--loves corn. And it is healthier than a lot of mall food options.

Corn2Go is a Miami-based company, and from their website, it looks like they have their eye on conquering Florida with corn by planning to be in malls all over Florida, so keep your eyes peeled.

Corn2Go offers their corn in the cup in three different sizes, and their website lists the following flavors: Butter & salt - BBQ - chipotle - garlic - teriyaki - lemon - honey - parmesan - chili - cajun. The Corn2Go website says that they are also located at Sunset Place, though I haven't noticed it.

You can visit the Corn2Go website here. If the kiosk had been offering samples, we would have tried some Corn2Go, but since they weren't I passed up the opportunity. I'll be sure to give it a try next time I see a Corn2Go, and report back!
