Everyone has been raving over the Toy Cow Creamery smoothies. They’re made with milk from grass fed, hormone free cows and these smoothies are super thick! It’s more like drinking yogurt than drinking a yogurt smoothie. I picked up a blueberry smoothie and was impressed - there are bits of blueberry in there and it has a nice fresh milk taste.
The Toy Cow Creamery is located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. That’s a little outside what can genuinely be called ‘local’ - Williamsport is at least a four hour drive from the Philly area. Still, if you’re in the mood for a good smoothie it’s good to support a small, local dairy in Pennsylvania. The smoothies are available at the Fair Food Farmstand in Reading Terminal Market.
The smoothies are also, at least for now, available at Fork Etc. (the gourmet market/cafe attached to Fork Restaurant at 4th & Market), although I have no idea how long Ellen will want to—or be able to—carry them.
There’s also a selection of local cheeses there, I guess I should mention…
Anyway, I tried the black cherry Toy Coy smoothie last week after one of my Farmstand shifts, and I liked it! Similar thickness (almost too thick to drink!) and taste to my beloved Pequea yoghurt. 
The smoothies also have, like, the world’s most specific ingredients label, did you notice?. I mean, they are not just sweetened with apple juice, they are sweetened with Fuji apple juice!

Looks like a good treat to pick up after fighting the holiday crowds at the Terminal! Thanks for the tip.
