Yahoo Lifestyle Shoppers Are Saying Costco's New Spring-Ready Food Court Item Is 'Probably My Favorite of All'
The results are officially in, and according to Punxsutawney Phil—who is perhaps the most famous groundhog on Earth—we’ve got about six more weeks of winter ahead. Bah humbug! Don’t get me wrong, I love the icy cold dead of winter as much as anyone else, but after several unexpected blankets of snow, it’d be nice to warm up a bit and hang out poolside with a mai tai (or two). Besides, what does a groundhog know about the complexities of the seasons and whether or not we’ll prematurely slip into spring anyway?

Even if the sizable ground squirrel does have some innate mystical ability to predict the weather, there’s no rule that says we have to wait until the seasons change to get into the spirit. Although we’re still deep in the middle of carrot cake old-fashioned season—and we might have to wait a little longer before we can go for a dip in the pool—we don’t have to put off some of the other comforts of the season, like enjoying a towering ice cream cone or a fruity, refreshing smoothie. Take that, Punxsutawney Phil!

Costco is even getting a jump start on spring with their latest new food court addition, and fans say they “Can’t wait to try it!” Perfectly timed for spring, the larger-than-life retailer added a positively fruity Strawberry Banana Smoothie to their food court, and according to @whats_in_your_cart, it might just be their best one yet.
The smoothie in question appears to be a replacement for the now-discontinued fruit smoothie, which featured a more complex blend of strawberries, blackberries and açai berries. Costco’s new iteration simply consists of strawberries and bananas, and includes five servings of fruit as opposed to its predecessor's four.
As thrilled as most fans were about word of the new smoothie flavor, the news was met with the usual chatter about other cult-favorite Costco food court items like churros and the beloved combo pizza. “We need the combo pizza back!” demanded one person while another petitioned for them to “BRING BACK THE CHURRO.”
For now, the verdict is still out on whether we’ll ever see the miraculous return of those fan-favorite items, but in the meantime, you can grab a strawberry banana smoothie for just $2.99. A win is a win, right?
