Lots of yummy options and you can modify - Edit

In a recent visit, we got smoothies. We love our peanut butter, so I got the Booster and my husband got the Dolce. They were good. We also got the vegan chocolate peanut butter protein bites because we had to go with the theme. Super yummy. As usual, friendly staff.

Previous: There are so many different kinds of bowl bases, that we're going to have to make a couple trips before we determine which one is our favorite. That's okay, there's a loyalty program for that. ;-)

Bases include oatmeal, chia, acai, pitaya, coconut, green, and banana. They have bowl combos already made or you can make your own. When you first go in, the number of options can be kind of overwhelming. To confuse matters, you can do a half and half base of two different bases. Having an idea of your base ahead of time helps. I was in the mood for chia pudding, so the Trailblazer looked a great option -- chocolate protein topped with banana, cacao nibs, granola, and peanut butter.

Some of the bowls have non-vegan ingredients like honey, Nutella, or white chocolate, but you can request them without and substitute with other ingredients.

In addition to the bowls, they have kombucha and juice shots in the refrigerated case, smoothies, coffee drinks (coconut and oat milk available), and pre-packaged protein bites.

The store itself has a nice beachy vibe and at least when we went in, it's clear that the staff enjoy working there and are having fun. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Did I mention how impressed I was at the artful arrangement of bananas and bowl components? Because yeah, they nailed it.
