DRINK OF THE WEEK: PEANUT BUTTER BANANA OATS SMOOTHIE The District Weekly
By Chris Zeigler
If they dropped in a raw fish or some eggs, this would be the only nutritive source a healthy American adult would ever need, especially if he were tired of constant unproductive mastication—peanut butter (protein, B3 and E, antioxidants) and banana (B6, potassium); and to ruin other weaker smoothies, a good scoop of oats (iron, magnesium, fiber). And before you ask, all Viento Y Agua’s smoothies come stock vegan already, which is probably why there are no eggs and raw fish. A couple people were making faces about the oats idea—worried they were gonna clump up and clog the straw—so let me calm you down because there are no clumps or clogs of anything in these honorable little beverages; these Viento champion life smoothies adhere to a unity of consistency that verges on the philosophically uplifting, and speaking as a person who dislikes finding hairy, stringy, fruity purée survivors choking in the last puddles of his finished smoothie cup, I assure you these are smoothies put together as if they will be used as materials for classical sculpture.

DRINK OF THE WEEK: MEXICAN MOKA
By Christina
¡Que rica! The Mexican Mocha at Viento y Agua is subtle and rich, made with Ibarra chocolate from Guadalajara, Mexico, blended with your choice of soy milk and combined with a fresh espresso shot. “It’s a lot of work,” shouts Sarah over the whir of the blender, “but it’s my favorite thing to make. People always say it’s the best mocha they’ve ever had.” It’s true, I love this mocha—and this place: today, I could sip my mocha in a plush chair, or I could cruise the art gallery, but instead I opt for the sidewalk. A flock of green parrots squawk, children play in the Fremont Elementary yard—and the mocha? It’s good down to the last lick of foam. After, Sarah bums me a smoke. It really is the best mocha I’ve ever had.
