A family member recommended this spot to me and also gave me some to try. I loved it so I had to go to try more for myself. Went in with my son and he got the fruit passion and I had the hard protein juice. We both shared our drinks. They were so good and refreshing! Perfect for this summer hot weather or anytime to have a healthy delectable treat. Ambiance is beautiful. There is plenty of seating and the vibe in there is bright. Service was excellent! The girl behind the register greeted us as well as the man making the juices. Felt really welcomed! Which is rare to come across these days. Highly recommend to come have some juice. They even offer gallons to order ahead of time. read more

Amazing locally owned smoothie and juice shop that offers a variety of healthy options. My smoothie was made to order with fresh fruits and veggies and was delicious. The shop is small so there's not much room for multiple people but that doesn't impede the quality or service. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for healthy moment or sweet treat. read more

A cup of health, all legit ingredients. Incredibly nice smoothie maker, great way to start a Sunday.

hands down the best smoothies I've ever had honestly, all ingredients are very fresh and organic as well as having a very wide variety of different smoothies and drinks as well as juices, and also a wide variety of healthy alternatives, like turmeric, ginger sea moss all incorporated into the drinks if you want read more

Small local shop in the Drake neighborhood that serves fresh smoothies. Almost hidden between several restaurants. All sorts of smoothies to choose from: green, original, protein. I liked that they used rice milk. And for plant based protein they use hemp seeds. The shop is very small and comfortably allows 2 people to socially distance in the ordering area. Employees are not fully masked. Masks are not required to enter, as the Governor lifted the mask mandates in May 2021. Ordered the Fire Protein smoothie and the Hulk Protein smoothie. Total came to $19.xx before gratuity These were 12 oz cups My Fire Protein Smoothie had banana, berries, rice milk, and hemp seeds. It tasted good. Almost a peanutty flavor. The hulk was delicious too. That one contained whey protein powder. My stars are for the smoothie and service. The shop was outdated, unorganized, and I felt uneasy about lack of pandemic protocol and the cleanliness of the equipment used and cleanliness of the whole shop. The cost was not what I expected to pay for what I received. Not sure if we would be back. Otherwise it was a good enough smoothie. read more

My go to for what my body needs. Every drink has been absolutely delicious. Wheatgrass was definitely one of those that you have to get use to but he gives you a orange to chase it. The energy boost is my favorite. The Kiwi just makes it perfect. read more

great drinks and great service. small but welcoming hidden little store. Everything is made very fresh and tastes amazing

Low on energy, low on fun, stop in and get your groove back on. This juicier is small, but full of fresh ingredients that will give you that boost of energy needed to make you run a marathon or to continue with your daily grind. The menu displays all sorts of high energy concoctions. A true vegetarian can get a drink of their dreams-- whereas I am a fruity person desiring a variety of sweet mixes. Today I am trying "sweet greens." It has green apples and spinach with two or three other surprises. Lines are forming with barely enough space for social distancing. I would recommend to get there early so you don't have to be jammed on top of each other even though everyone had their mask on. Outside there are two chairs if you have to endure a wait. Prices are reasonable from $6 and up. Parking is non existent out front, but you can park on the lot a 1/2 a block behind or to the side of the building. It is a small African owned business with fun, fresh healthy drinks--a place where you take your drink and go because it is a no frills business. Want to drink healthy and perhaps extend your life--try their mixtures, and wait for your full burst of energy! Stop by to pickup "My Sweet Greens" while on a rush to complete several time sensitive errors, drawback, the item that I paid for, one gallon of the mixture with a twenty-four hour notice-was not ready. The owner did offer to accommodate my schedule but being an immediate gratification and high expectation person-it would have been an inconvenience to my schedule- therefore I rescheduled to pick up at 10:30 am Monday-since I would make a point to drive over into the area again--we will see! read more

I had about 15 minutes to grab something healthy on a break from work today -- I work right in the Drake neighborhood and was trying to brainstorm something I could grab fast and eat fast . . . I almost gave up an just stayed at work -- but then I remembered this place! I'd always wanted to stop in and today was they day. Fresh juices, fresh ingredients-- and the flavors are phenomenal. Plenty of Vegan smoothie options with Rice Milk available. I went with the Irie, which has Irish Moss, blueberry, avocado, hemp seeds, rice milk, and honey. You don't need additional sweeteners, this is sweet enough on its own! The thing I love most about this place is the vibe -- the owner had the biggest smile and was so friendly. He described every item on the menu well. The reggaes music was on point, and the other customers and I struck up some friendly conversation. Nice vibe, fresh juice -- am going to have to make this a regular stop! read more

Lifestyle Juices - Sweet Emotions - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

This place closed down for a bit, but they are back and here to stay! This was my first time here and wowowowowow I am impressed! First off this place is tiny, almost like ordering from a food truck but in a building! But they have the little spot hopping with a Peter Tosh mix rolling so I was jamming! While I was waiting in line I got to try a bunch other people's orders, which was really nice of them! They also gave me a free shot of GINGER while I was waiting.. WOW, that burns a little but I felt great afterwords! I ordered the SWEET EMOTIONS smoothie, which was all fruit! And all delicious! The staff was amazing! The tastes are amazing and I'm glad they are back for biz! read more

This looks so much better on Yelp. We had to leave because we saw MOLD on the fruit .. i don't like to leave bad reviews but I don't see how it's ok to have mold and filth in a juice bar. Sorry, just want to save someone else lol read more

Lifestyle Juices - Sunrise smoothie half drank - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Best smoothies in the state hands down. They use fresh fruit, juice it right in front of you, and even serve you the extras. 10/10

This place is so authentic and humble. The wall is covered with dozens of options for real-fruit smoothies and juices. After ordering, the kind man working will gladly blend/juice your order right in front of you so you can see everything added to your drink. This place is kind of small, but I liked that- this will be my sister and I's go-to spot for smoothies from now on :) Especially since the prices are pretty great; anywhere else, a smoothie would be $6-8 with added sugar and not as fresh of ingredients. read more

Lifestyle Juices - I got the Marley- delicious!! 100% real fruit - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Quaint little place with great healthy and fresh juices. A very kind family owns this and I can tell they've worked hard for it. I'm happy to support this local business. I got the Burner juice. Delicious and filling! read more

Blink and you might miss it! This place is tiny. I was wandering around trying to find it and I'm so glad I did. My first impression is that this is a family run business as they had jr taking the orders today. I love supporting small, local business! I loved the music and the vibe. I was disappointed there wasn't any organic produce options. Perhaps that will be incorporated sometime down the line. I ordered the sweet green which was seriously, so good. They put kiwi in it! Why haven't I thought of that?! It was very refreshing. While I waited I was offered a sample of the sunrise which has orange ginger.. and one more thing. It also was very good. So good, when I go back I'm going to get it. I love to see healthy options with REAL food popping up around Des Moines. read more

Wish I could give this place a higher star rating. THIS PLACE IS PHENOMENAL. I am a traveller from halfway across the United States and have frequented this business FOUR times. The freshest, healthiest smoothies and juices in all of the Midwest. They are super friendly, down to earth and passionate about nourishment and nurturing the community. Black owned! I've tried four different flavors of drink and all of them are so good and high quality I feel so fantastic after. Add sea moss to your drink you won't regret it. read more

The selection of different juices is crazy + they all have extremely cool names, ive had a Start Me Up which has kiwi, apple, pear and Kale, you get your greens and also some sweet Tanga juices. With other cool names like Marely, OMG, Cool Runnings and Sweet Emotions...man it could take me over 2 months and stopping by 3 times a week to try out every favor on the menu. I also love that they cut and peel and prep the juice right in front of you and add a little honey for sweetness, if you're allergic to Honey or bees make sure you ask them not to add it in. They also give you a test shot of your drink to make sure that everything taste good. Make sure you ask for a loyalty card to get punches towards a free drink! read more

This place is tiny, but full of good energy! A cute family owns it and the two young boys were in charge of customer service while the dad made the drinks. They were very kind and patient, eager to help and excited to serve. They offered their opinions. An excited regular stopped by and raves about the hulk smoothie it was amazing. The texture was nice and the flavor was sweet but earthy with vegetables. They have the most wide variety of ingredients from fruit to vegetables of anywhere in Des Moines. They were playing reggae music and laughing and had such good energy I couldn't help but enjoy myself. The prices are fair for the product. The best part was you can make your own with 5 ingredients and like I said - they have A LOT of variety if you like sweet or healthy fruity or earthy they have it all. Super friendly over the top kindness. I'll be back! read more

The massive is the best workout smoothie I have had in Iowa, maybe in all of my life. I'm writing this from the car (parked) outside of the place because everyone should know about it. I'll be trying more smoothies in the future. read more

Good location next to Drake. Nice to see some relatively healthy options in the area. They have a huge menu of juices, but they'll also make anything you want. It's definitely worth trying, but it's pretty expensive ($5 per glass). Also, the shop is is an awesome use of space, but it is extremely small. Service is very friendly. read more

Excellent juice, excellent service. Very knowledgeable on the helpful properties of each fruit and vegetable. Tons of options but, you are able to customize if desired. read more

Amazing fresh smoothies and juices. You can see and taste the difference, because the fresh fruit and vegetables are chopped right behind the counter. The smoothies aren't overly sweet which makes the natural flavors of the fruits come out. I have tried the Gringo and the Bahamian Blast and both were amazing! Great to have such a healthy and fresh option in the Drake neighborhood! read more

First time I went, dude knew what he was doing, obviously. Great customer service. Second time - the complete opposite. Redhead with 0 facial expression and kept getting confused as to what I was asking her. Kept scratching while wearing gloves until I finally had to ask her to change her gloves after she answered the phone and attempted to pick up cut up fruit with the same hand. Another point of "feedback" is that they put honey into all the smoothies but it's only written in one place in small letters, so easy to miss and I think honey is extra and masks the taste of fruit. However prices are good and my grapefruit juice with a shot of wheat grass was superb, despite my having to micromanage it. read more

Best fresh juices and nicest staff. I love the whole vibe of this place. Im a regular here now

Awesome juices! They have such a wide variety of choices--can't wait to try even more. The staff was super friendly and made the tough choice a lot easier with great recommendations. It's a super charming, small location that always plays great music. I will definitely be back soon. read more
