When I'm travelling, I try and find a nutrition studio that offers shakes and teas with no or low sugar. I found Crush It Nutrition. It was located ten minutes away from the hotel where I was staying.
After work on a Monday, I headed over to this place. I got there at 6:30 pm. This place has awesome hours. It was open from 7 am to 7 pm.
This studio is located in a plaza with Wegmans anchoring it. You can't go wrong getting something to drink before or after grocery shopping.
There were plenty of parking spots in this plaza. I parked fairly close to the main doors and walked in.
I was the only customer in the store when I walked in. I met Brandon, who was helpful, friendly, and personable. I wanted a tea, which is normally what I tend to order first at any nutrition studio before I dive into shakes.
The decor was cool. It represented the area nicely with the Falls prominently painted on the wall.
I went with the Nerds tea. Brandon said that it was one of his personal favourites. Cool!
This place offers teas in two different sizes. I'm used to the larger size, so I got it. It took him practically no time to whip my tea together.
I looked at protein balls in a nice bag. They looked like cute cookies. He let me know that his wife pushed a dark chocolate flat chip into each protein ball. I decided to get a bag. I had them going home the next day. I loved the peanut butter in each ball, with a sugar-free dark chocolate on top that was so good.
We had a nice chat. He and his wife moved up here from Ohio a few years ago. They have two studios in the Buffalo-Niagara area. The other one is on Transit Road, near the Kohl's that I like in Williamsville. His wife works at that one. They have three kids that are 3, 6, and 9 years old.
He would like to have a studio in Toronto. He has yet to find the right person to run that show. I like that they are in tune with the market. He and his wife had planned to visit Montreal this weekend for Herbalife training.
I paid with a credit card. I also tipped. Done!
I let him know that I was leaving the following day to head home. I was going to try squeezing in one final visit. I did.
The Nerds tea was tangy. It tasted exactly like Nerds candy, but without the sugar. It was delicious, and got me through shopping and dinner!
The following day, it was spitting rain. I dropped by before heading home. Brandon recognized me, remembered what size of tea I liked without asking, and went to work on my Niagara lights tea. It consisted of cotton candy, grape, and blue blast flavours.
He asked me when I'd be back in the area. I had no idea unless there's another concert that I'd like to attend or I feel like coming over the border to check things out. He said that he looked forward to my stopping by again. Likewise!
This studio also has tea kits and acai bowls. I like the former when I'm on the road and feel like making my own tea in my hotel room. The latter intrigued me. I'll need to try one the next time I'm in the area again.
This studio supported all my tea cravings and needs. Brandon was awesome, providing great customer service and delicious teas. He was a delight to chat with. I'll be back when I'm in this area again.
