Though the smoothies do not pack quite the health-conscious punch their name suggests, their inventive names and fruity flavor make them satisfying and enjoyable.

To Wrap It Up...

The Wrap and Smoothie Joint, located at 71 Mount Auburn St., offers some of the most innovative summer drinks in the Square.

They offer six classic summer smoothies, including as the Tropical Treasure and the Cape Codder as well as five "Smoothies with a Purpose." A "purpose," in Wrap-speak, is a nutritional additive, such as ginkgo, lecithin, ginseng, protein vita-mix or nutritional yeast. Smoothies like the "Athlete's Advantage" and "Adam's Rocket Fuel" promise energy and hydration to thirsty customers.

The Wrap offers by far the most healthful summer beverages. In addition to one free "purpose" element, others can be added for 50 cents each. And all smoothies can be made without dairy products on request.

Let's face it--summer in the city is hot. At those all-important times of the day, Annenberg Hall is invariably closed. So head outside the iron gates where a new world of fun in the summer sun awaits. Keep your cool.
