Make-Your-Own Smoothie Bars

New York City's MIMO is a Place to Build Customized Blended Drinks

— May 20, 2016 — Lifestyle
A rise in health consciousness has inspired many juice and smoothie bars to pop up, offering menus that are full of flavorful options. For those who crave a blended beverage creation of their own kind, there's MIMO in New York City's Upper East Side.

MIMO (Make It My Own) has 16-ounce cups for people to fill up fresh and natural ingredients of their choosing—in total, there are more than 70 ingredients available. Despite there being many premium superfoods and speciality ingredients available, all of the blended drinks at the smoothie bar are priced at a flat rate of $8.

Aside from nuts, fruits, vegetables, seeds and boosters, there are a number of different liquids available from MIMO for blending a custom creation together.

3. Flat Rate Pricing - This innovative pricing strategy of offering all blended drinks at a flat rate is disrupting the traditional pricing models of the juice and smoothie bar industry and creating a more transparent and competitive market.
