Hello everyone!
Last week, I had the chance to go to Taco Bell. Unfortunately, Rachel wasn’t there because she was at driver’s ed. Fun. Since the majority of my friends were with her at driver’s education, I invited my chummy, Autumn over. She’s one of my besties from school; we bonded over our love of British youtubers and hatred of AP Human Geography. Autumn is a very picky eater, and practically only eats bowtie pasta, creamsicles, and Taco Bell. It’s her favorite restaurant. Of course, with my health nut of a family, had never been there. So, when she came over, it was the perfect time to go.
My mom was reluctant to take us, so she made us stop at a super granola juice bar called Kale Me Crazy. A couple months ago, my mom had gone in there and gave the owner her recipe for nut milk. He turned it into a smoothie, naming it Grounded after my mom’s yoga company. She wanted to go in there to try it and for us to try some healthy kale smoothies.

I got a kale one that wasn’t too excellent, but Grounded was really good. If you live in the Atlanta area, I would recommend going there or going here for the recipe.
After that, we went to Taco Bell. As expected, it was in a pretty sketchy neighborhood.
I wasn’t terribly hungry, so I ordered two Dortitos Locos tacos, which I was pretty excited about. Autumn ordered the burrito box, which included the beefy crunch burrito, a crunch wrap and a Doritos Locos tacos. We also both ordered a Mountain Dew Baja blast. My mom didn’t get anything, as expected. She’s gluten free, and the meat there isn’t. I doubt she would’ve gotten anything anyway.
I wasn’t too impressed with the Baja blast. To me, it just tasted like a slushy. I was also a bit disappointed with my tacos; I couldn’t really taste the Doritos part. Fortunately, I stole Autumn’s beefy crunch burrito and it was heavenly. Words cannot explain how delicious it was. Even though Taco Bell’s food quality isn’t the best, I have to give them props for creativity. I guess they really think outside the box, or um bun. I now am much more appreciative of the wonders of Taco Bell, and finally understand why everyone always talk about it. I hope to return sometime in the future, and am now always craving that beefy crunch burrito. Yum!
