It is interesting what “gift wrapping” can do for food. Take this tropical smoothie, for example . . . if you serve it in a plain cup, it tastes good but the excitement ends there. If you dress it up with an umbrella or a colorful straw and put it in a fun glass, it transports you to a tropical paradise where you are on vacation, soaking up the sun, relaxing by the pool with a smile on your face. It doesn’t take much effort to add a few extra touches that will really transform your snack or meal into a party.
