This review is written by someone who generally does not like smoothies. This being said, perhaps smoothies were never the problem. Maybe it was just that I had never had these smoothies in particular. Something about the blend, quality of fruit, perfectly balanced in sweetness, flavor, and texture, was enough for me to empty the contents of my drink in record time. There were no ice chips interfering with the smooth elements of mingled fruit, no seeds or chunks that lingered on my tongue. It was the absolute best smoothie I ever had. Hands down. I ordered the mango mania with ginger. The flavors were extremely complimentary and the ginger added a zing to the citrus that was sort of addictive. Natural Defense is extremely clean, locally owned and operated, and has a diverse menu with various combinations. Plus, the woman behind the counter was immensely knowledgeable about supplements and vitamins. In short, I highly recommend this shop and if you're a fan of citrus, definitely try the mango mania! read more

Natural Defense - Mango Mania with ginger - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

Was looking forward to trying. We are organic advocates. Disappointed to see 3 of the 4 Vitamins I picked up were expired. Not on sales just selling full price expired vitamins. Atmospherically, the dusty fake plants take away from the concept of natural foods. Tremendously. Made me think it was more of a niche business than a business focused on health. The lady did not greet us ,smile, she just raised her eyebrows when it was our turn to order. I ordered a make your own, and noticed she put an orange powder in one of the smoothies. I don't recall seeing orange powder on any ingredients. I felt spicy in my mouth hours after the drink. What was in the powder? I'll never know. Overall I likely won't be back. In general I would say: play some nice gentle music that's positive like some reggae or instrumentals. Ditch the fake plants and opt for new ones that are real that you care for. Teach the employees how to greet and say hello how are you what can I help you with. Do monthly inventory to find and discount expired vitamins. Ditch the mystery powders. Good luck. read more

I appreciated the suggestion for the beet smoothie. I was conflicted as to what to order, but the lady that helped me was gracious enough to let me taste one ( I didn't like it), then suggested another. Great breakfast choice after my 4mile run. The price is decent for the size and very reasonable. read more

I love a good smoothie and it has been awhile since I had one. Today when I visited the shop I was warmly greeted by the employee, she had a wonderful smile that sparkled through her eyes. She quickly made my two drinks and made the entire experience wonderful. I am extremely impressed by the customer service, you can buy a smoothie anywhere but this spot definitely has a friendly and inviting atmosphere. read more

Very friendly and informative staff. I recently moved to the area and will be going back for smoothies and health supplements. Moving from Brooklyn, this is the perfect slice of what I've been looking for. read more

I visited Natural Defense about a year ago out of curiosity just to try out their smoothies. However, not only did I get a delicious and healthy smoothie, but I was able to get a boost on my overall well-being and health. Since that time I have been a faithful customer. The owner is an amazing woman who genuinely cares for her customers. The smoothies are made with fresh, natural ingredients that not only refresh you, but re-invigorate you. If you are looking to boost your health and overall well-being, I suggest giving Natural Defense a try. read more

One of the best smoothies I have ever had. You can actually taste the fruit in every bite. I def need to grab a gallon next time I come!

I was in the area and in the mood for a good smoothie. It's located on Sugarloaf Pkwy just between Five Forks and Scenic Highway. There is plenty of parking out front! And there's also some great Middle Eastern stores next to it. A cigar store and a grocery store. The front of the store is very bright and advertises vitamins and fresh smoothies! The store is nicely decorated inside. There's only like two tables to sit and a table top with about three stools. So not too many table options but that's typical at smoothie places. They have a ton of vitamin and protein options if you're interested! It's located along the left side of the store and toward the back. They have a bunch of options to choose from as far as smoothies go. They're all made with fresh fruits and no added sugar (which is SUPER important to me). You can pick the kind of protein you want to add to it or if you want non fat yogurt. I picked the Mango Madness smoothie. It has mangoes, pineapples, and papaya. It was so good and so fresh! I was really impressed with it! It was $4.82 for 20 oz. smoothie which is pretty decent. I felt that it was worth the price for sure! The service was so amazing! The owners and the staff were very friendly, kind, and were super helpful when I asked questions. I definitely want to come back to try something different or stick to the Mango Madness, cause that was amazing! read more

smoothies are okay but the owner is very rude and unprofessional. She just out of nowhere started screaming at my husband. Maybe it's because he's white? I don't know what is going on but I'll never step foot in her establishment again. Unacceptable read more

Great service. Very friendly. Very tasty. I had the smoothie with sour sop. Highly recommended.

I found this place on Yelp and decided to try it. I'm so glad I did. The owners helped me choose my smoothie based on my likes and dislikes, added kale and protein, extra mango since I love it, and whipped up a smoothie so delicious I got goose bumps when I tasted it. I kid you not. They cut all their ingredients fresh. Nothing is frozen. There is no added sugar. No preservatives. No strange colorings. Nothing but all natural goodness. I highly recommend trying this little family owned small business. read more
