BLENDZ in Avenues Phase II serves fresh mango juice with bits of mango pieces

BLENDZ in Avenues Phase II also serves any fresh juice of your choice from their fruits displayed

This is a rather late post. Two weeks ago,  I stopped by BLENDZ  at Avenues Mall (1st floor, phase II), and asked what fresh fruit juices were they serving and the lady at the counter went 'We have fresh mango juice with little pieces in them, it's very nice'. She gave me a sample in a tiny paper cup and I enjoyed every bit of it. The mango juice was fresh and the presence of little pieces of mangoes really added to the great taste and feel. 'Do you want Ma'am?' the lady asked. 'Yes, please!' I went. After the mango juice, I walked for another one hour! LOL. If you are in Avenues, try the fresh mango juice with little mango pieces in them from BLENDZ. You will surely enjoy it.
