I came here on my quest for new smoothie places to try. When I walked in, I was greeted immediately…read moreand the attendant was quick to answer any questions I had regarding the menu and products. I noticed they had more than smoothies, and my eyes immediately went to the juice case. They have quite the selection of pressed juices, shots, protein balls, and other things. After scanning the menu, I got the peanut butter and banana toast, nirvana pressed juice, and birthday cake protein balls. She asked if I was a member of Orange Theory and I said, "no." They have a special partnership with them that I think includes a certain percentage off, so maybe I should become a member! I drank the juice first and tried one of the protein balls while I was waiting on my toast. The juice was refreshing and on the sweeter side, which is what I wanted. The protein ball was good, but the after taste was a little odd. Perhaps it was the flavor? It was recommended by person working. Although I'm not writing it off entirely, I may have better luck with the other flavors (cookie dough, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, and red velvet). It didn't take long before my toast was ready and I was on my way. I managed to sneak a few bites in before I made it home and they more than exceeded my expectations. For the record, any place that uses Union Loafers bread can do no wrong in my book. The toast was quite savory and I def enjoyed it more with each bite. Fyi, they lay the pb on pretty thick, so make sure you chew thoroughly! All in all, a solid protein packed meal all around. I hate that I got full after one piece, so let's hope I can finish the other piece later!

I have wanted to try Neon Banana for awhile after I tried some of their juice shots at a…read morepromotional event. I finally made it there today! After you deal with the parking, which can be a bit inconvenient as it's in a crowded intersection and parking lot - though I noticed neon banana has a few dedicated parking spots for 5 minute parking which helps! - you find the cute little locally-owned shop amongst the strip mall. What I first noticed & loved was the vibe and concept of the shop! The literal bananas around are fun & def has a mildly-funky-but-still-upscale vibe. I knew to expect juices and smoothies but was pleasantly surprised to find a few other food items like bread, broth, protein balls, overnight oats, and more. I tend to be basic with my tastes so I was hesitant to try some of their smoothies with elaborate ingredients. I chatted with the friendly cashier/smoothie extraordinaire & I said I was leaning towards the regular strawberry but wanted to try something a little out of my comfort zone, but not too far out. She recommended the neon banana (COCONUT WATER, ORANGE JUICE, BANANA, PINEAPPLE, MANGO, BLUE MAJIK (BLUE SPIRULINA/COCONUT WATER). I'm so glad I tried - it's delicious! They're also willing to customize. When I mentioned I don't love coconut, she said she could take out the coconut water. The blue spirulina wasn't my fave but the flavor & the rest of the smoothie was amaze, would def get again. The cons: It is pricey, this particular 16oz smoothie being $10.95. Also, the hours are somewhat limited, closing most days at 4:30. However - I don't know of too many locally owned smoothie cafes so I think the juice is worth the squeeze on this one ;) I could see myself coming back for a late morning or early afternoon snack, for sure getting the neon banana again or trying some of the other flavors. I'd probably avoid busy times of day like lunch or commute times. It would probably be a once in awhile splurge place, but would love to make it back again!

They greeted me upon entry, helped me decide which smoothie to try & fixed it up quickly. My Caribbean Sunrise smoothie is delicious. Very flavorful, but all the flavors play together well & make for a very satisfying treat. They have quite a few healthy meal prep style entrees for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I saw prices on those ranging from $5-$15. Not bad for quality, ready-to-make meals. I also noticed they have a microwave available on site so if you need to warm your meal while you're there, you could! I'm glad I made the stop & would certainly come back again. Bonus point: they had a linen candle burning & it smelled wonderful!

I seriously wish I lived in the area because I would visit the smoothie bar about every day. The…read moreSmoothie Bar is located inside of Fit Flavors, so when you're looking for the sign take note. When you arrive to the smoothie bar there is a menu with lots of options, and all of the macros/calories are listed. They use 1st Phorm protein powder, which if you are not a protein powder guru, I'll let you know that it is great tasting and amazing quality. Love that company and all of their products. I ordered a 24 oz peanut butter cup smoothie, which was only about 340 calories. When you drink this smoothie you'll be shocked on how it is only 340 calories. The taste is phenomenal and not too sweet either. They also have thick straws so that you're not wasting too much time trying to suck the smoothie up. You can tell that these are quality smoothies that are not pumped with added sugars and unnecessary additives. You'd feel confident in having one for a meal or a post workout with zero guilt. I can't wait to come back tomorrow and the rest of my time visiting the area to try some more smoothies!

What I thought would be a great experience was anything but. Let me preface again that this was my first time. When I walked in, there was no hello. Just complete silence. Since she wasn't going to speak first, I decided to help her out. I noticed there were several options to choose from but didn't realize there weren't any to create your own. Ultimately, I went with a kids size chocolate love. I took out a few ingredients and added protein and blueberries, which put me at 15.00 and some change. After she got done with my order, she placed it on the counter and walked off. She didn't even wait to hand it to me. Before you ask, it was just me in there until one person came and got their to-go order and she couldn't have been more nice to them. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day (at 8:50 am) or what other circumstances affected her inability to be cordial but her attitude was piss poor and there was nothing I did to warrant that treatment. Period.

The customer service was awesome, but unfortunately, the sandwich really missed the mark. It had no…read moreflavor. The bread had a nice toast to it, but it needed some type of butter or seasoning to give it more taste. The Just Egg and sausage honestly tasted like they came straight from the freezer. I ordered sriracha sauce on the side, but it didn't pair well with the sandwich at all. The coffee drink was okay--nothing special. I would've preferred it sweeter, but that's more of a personal preference. The biggest disappointment was that the sandwich didn't sit well with my stomach afterward. Overall, I was very disappointed with the food despite the great service. Again the customer service was great the food not so much. I regret ordering what I did and so did my stomach. I need to just try the smoothie and no food.

I walked in and was greeted immediately by whom I'm assuming were the owners. I mentioned that I saw an advertisement for a free smoothie. She said yes, but that it was free with purchase of a food item and after downloading the app. After downloading the app, we were back in business. Since I had an upcoming boxing class in a couple hours, I went with something light and got the spinach, pesto, and feta wrap but without the feta. I chose the Island Green for my smoothie, which consists of spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, and banana. I decided to sit at the bar while my items were being made. After a few minutes, one of the owners walked from behind the counter and handed me my food. I was floored. I don't take gestures like that for granted, especially since he didn't have to do that. I chatted with him for a bit while the other owner continued processing the orders. He said they've been open since January and business has been going really well. I ended up eating this in my car since I still had a few other places to go. The wrap was the perfect size (at least for me)! It was a bit on the smaller side but still packed a powerful punch. The egg and pesto were spot on; I don't recall tasting the peppers but it may have been because I was so hungry! The smoothie was delicious and had the right amount of sweetness and nutrition minus the guilt. Due to the promo, I only paid for the sandwich, so getting a 2-1 is always a win in my book! Overall, the owners couldn't have been nicer. I felt welcome from the moment I entered. I love all the different options for food and drinks, and especially like that you can add enhancements. I def. plan on making this place a staple in my routine and you should too!
