    PB CHOCOBANANA Shake
    Tina G.

    Such an adorable place- the ambiance is clean, modern and festive with holiday decorations. Stopped in for a post workout shake and the owner Stephanie greeted me warmly at the register. She told me their best sellers and recommendations and I went with the PB chocobanana shake which is DELICIOUS. If you're looking for a cute place to get a healthy beverage or snack, stop in Empower, you won't regret it!

    LOVE THIS yummy Health focused cafe! Great for after a workout shake - recipes yummy and sweet but also healthy, filling (protein) and sugar conscious - which is hard to find nowadays. Alot of "healthy looking" options out there but they are loaded with sugar and not nutritionally filled.... these recipes are! Owners are super sweet and caring Can't wait to visit again

    I saw an ad on Facebook so decided to drop in since I was driving by and wasn't sure what to expect. I was warmly greeted entering and the owner asked if it was my first time there and offered to walk me through the menu explaining the various things they have and what the top sellers were and asked if I had any questions. She was so incredibly nice, genuine, friendly and helpful......I was so impressed! I tried the churro protein smoothie with a little granola in top and it was really good! Great way to get in your protein and tastes like a treat! I will definitely go back and try some other items on the menu - and take the kids along since they saw me come home with this and want to go now too

    Nice and clean, super friendly staff (wish I caught her name) very helpful for my first time in. And patient haha. Got 2. Happy they are dairy free and had protein as I came from the gym. Decor was amazing. Love the rustic wood counters and ring light and backdrops. Shakes were good and flavorful

    Tried Empower for the first time today and wasn't disappointed. The store is aesthetically pleasing and very clean, not to mention they have a wide variety of drinks/snacks. I tried the Monkey Bowl and it was phenomenal. This shop is also family owned and deserves support for all the time they've put into their business!

    Acai with peanut butter
    Sonia L.

    I realize I'm last on the acai bowl bandwagon but I'm on it. I never understood why having a smoothie in a bowl is different from slurping it up with a straw but now I get it. Empower doesn't disappoint. There are so many healthy and colorful smoothie choices and 5 different customizable bowls.The best part is meeting the kind owners who took a chance during the pandemic and opened this adorable place. If you want to support small business, this would be a nice one! I appreciated the personal attention and conversation...afterall its the service and people that make a place next level. All ingredients are fresh and bright. All of my fruits were sweet and looked hand selected! Lovely space that's modern and photo worthy. Plenty of parking by Jewel.Go get your healthy on and pretend like the sun is out during the cruel chicago winters with one of these smoothies, teas or bowls in your hand...its basically self care

    Fruity pebbles shake & s'mores shake

    Wow! I found my new favorite spot! Not only are they in a convenient location, but the shakes & açaí bowls are amazing! Really happy I tried them out, I'll be a regular for sure! I sent a few friends there to try it out and they love it too! Wonderful service as well. Please support your local businesses!

    Tropic Mango Smoothie Bowl
    Tina D.

    Came in to this place about a week ago. My coworkers have tried it and said it was pretty good! When I came inside, I was greeted by a kind man who helped me with my order. I asked him what he recommended between the acai smoothie bowl and the tropical mango smoothie bowl. He said that acai bowl is more tart whereas the tropical mango bowl was more on the sweeter side! I then asked him what were the toppings and he told me almonds, fried coconut, strawberries, blueberries, granola, and honey drizzled on. He asked me if I was ok with those toppings too! I decided to get the tropical mango bowl and the kind man gave me a 20% coupon to come back but sadly I could not make it back again due to my schedule. He got right to making my order and while I was waiting, I was admiring the environment. The place was nice and I felt comfortable being in it. The music was nice and happy(: Once my order was finished, he walked up to me and handed me my bowl! The smoothie bowl was $10 and I can't compare to any other bowls I've had because... the tropical mango bowl was my first! I understand why everyone loves smoothie bowls. I've been missing out! He was right, the mango was sweet and the toppings complimented the flavor very nicely. I definitely will be coming back again to try different things on the menu!!

    Cafe Latte

    I found this place while scrolling through instagram and I sent it to all my friends because we love smoothie places like this especially if they're owned by a small local business because who doesnt love to support the locals?! So my friend and I finally came after a workout and this place is super cute! The owners were very nice and helpful and did a great job on making my friend and I feel very welcomed to their establishment. my friend and i got their cafe latte smoothie and it was so good! not too sweet and felt very light where i didnt feel bloated which i enjoyed a lot. i definitely will be coming in a lot more often.
