Juice Express

Great protein smoothie. Offered a soy or whey protein option. Fresh fruit. Ordered a smoothie and oatmeal. The usual airport pricing but service was friendly and quick. Took away a star for using STYROFOAM cups! Really???

My expectations aren’t too high for a juice kiosk at the airport, but I liked the smoothie here better than the one I got at Rachel’s Kitchen (further down the terminal, with a higher overall rating).
As others have said, the unfortunate older Asian woman who runs this joint has absolutely no service skills. That said, the smoothies are made to order, a good price for the size, and have various add-​ins available at a reasonable cost: superfood and kale each $ 1. Menu has quite a bit of variety, too.

We didn’t even try a smoothie because the small Asian lady opening up the store was so rude. She told me they were not open even though it was well past 5:30am. She told me she still had to count her money. I came back 5 minutes later just to look at the menu and she got really mad and started to kung fu kick the stool she was standing on mumbling something under her voice. We just left this rudeness behind. Do not even think about going to this place.

I honestly don’t mind paying an arm and a leg for a good juice smoothie, especially when it’s a decent size and very tastey.
I got the Apple Mango and added Kale to it for just $.99. It was not apple though. PINEAPPLE and mango haha
They also offer other beverages and snacks like waters, energy drinks and Cliff Bars.
The employee was very friendly and helpful.
Great pick up before you board your plane for an immune system boost :)

[1] I wanted to know what was in a «5-​berry» oatmeal. One person had no clue; the other had some idea; together, they made up a few, total four. No wonder they had no idea… it was a prepackaged microwave item. That prepackaged microwave item was priced like a gourmet item, even for an airport. It was very, very watery… no berries, of course, other than some reconstituted dehydrated microwaved dust or something along those lines. [2] I saw a counter toward the back, with what seemed to be a juicer and a bucket full of carrots. Good. I ordered a carrot juice, large. Instead, it was served up immediately. No surprise, as it turns out, since it, too, seemed to be very watered down. It was also priced like a gourmet item, even for an airport. [3] There was no place to eat! The oatmeal (being microwaved and mostly water) was incredibly hot, plus of course I was juggling my luggage and so on. No seats, no standups, nothing (unless you want to eat at a slot machine, perhaps). Fortunately, I managed to hug all this to me without getting carrot juice on my clothes and without burning my hands any worse, till I found a standup spot some distance away. (There are a couple of «us-​only» sitdowns across the way, beyond the slot machines… but beyond those.) * Personally, I would never go there again. I’d either take one other poster’s advice and just get a granola bar, or I’d go hungry. Or I’d even eat a Cinnabon first, which, although it may be unhealthy in some ways, wouldn’t be particularly less healthy (than mostly water).

Having to depend on airport food for breakfast is never fun. I saw the Juice Express place and thought, «Perfect!». No long Starbucks coffee lines and I get a «healthy» protein drink.
You can choose a flavor and they add protein powder or a shot of wheat grass, etc. The smoothie was very good and since it was a size large-​I was sipping, and sipping, and sipping for an entire breakfast hour. Calorie count? Unknown.
They only have one size and it’s $ 8. So if you’ve got a big family it starts to add up. I grabbed a few granola bars for the flight and I got it all for just $ 16.00. What? Jeez!
Never again. Lesson learned. Next time I’ll pack my own granola bars, including an Energy-​C packet and buy water instead. I value my $$$.

What’s up with all these positive reviews?
I’m sorry to say, but none of these speak the truth. Because honestly, seeing a decent rating for this place makes me feel so wrongfully cheated. Anyone would when they experienced the exact opposite: dreadfulness. It was an experience that left not only me, but my whole family petrified. We were all so repulsed to never go near or go to this place ever again.
What could have happened to this one customer among the many others? Why should I listen when there’s a good general consensus about this place? Let’s see.
After going through taxis, retrieving airplane tickets, passing through airport security, and all the other mind-​numbing thresholds you must undergo when traveling, my family and I were exhausted and hungry. We are vegan, so it was a troubling ordeal to find something to eat without dairy, eggs, meat, and etc.
As we were scrolling along the airport, we found Juice Express. A glitter of happiness twinkled our tired state to some level of awareness. We found food, and yes, something we can eat.
Nobody was there. There was only an old Asian lady at the front with short, black hair who spoke little English. We all asked collectively if the smoothies had «yogurt or dairy» and she said, «No.» Continuing on, we told the lady that we were vegan and that we couldn’t eat anything with dairy, but all we got was a confused stare, half-​attentive to what we were saying. She still said, «All the smoothies had no dairy» when we asked her a couple of times if all the smoothies were vegan. The menu overhead didn’t say much about what ingredients were used.
Unsure if she understood us in the beginning after much explanation, we ordered anyway. While she was making the smoothie, we asked if she could put more bananas in it, since she only put half of a banana, and that’s when she freaks out in a subdued, but boiling angry way.
Our family just looked at each other in quietness, not knowing how to handle this lady with anger management problems. She dumped bowls of ice in the smoothie and heaps of water carelessly, even when we told her to do E-​Z ice and less water. With a bang, she dropped the smoothie mixer on the counter, while she was working, mumbling something and rolling her eyes at us. I almost thought I saw her nostrils flare and steam fuming out of them. Her face was taut like a violin string even though she was able to keep her face straight.
When all was done, we got our smoothies, paid, and went, having a strong desire to put distance from that worker and us. I took a sip of the smoothie and it tasted like nothing. It was bad. I couldn’t eat it; I wanted to trash it. We did order it raw, but the one’s we made at home were a thousand times better than that one. I asked my whole family and there’s were the same. I kept on telling my parents that we should have complained back to that monstrous, angry lady, but all my mom kept on saying, «Let’s just go. It tastes okay and healthy. It’ll be fine. „
Our whole family let out a huge sigh of leaving that all behind us.
We went halfway across to our gate, and something happened. My sister took out a long plastic piece out of her mouth. I looked at my mom, and she said,“ Let’s go back. We need a refund. This can’t be.» So we go back in slight terror of what might happen to that lady with an already reached 100 degrees anger boiling point. We went, and told her,” There was a plastic string IN our smoothie. We want a refund for all of them.”, since we didn’t trust her what was in all of them. And she said,” We caan’t. I’m sorrey, but our store doesn’t do dat.” After much complaining, she finally said that she’ll speak with the manager on the phone. We wait, and when the manager picked up, the worker lied to her that the plastic was ON the smoothie cup not IN. My sister tells her, but she ignored us.
Finally she said that we can have a refund. We get out money back. Without hearing at least a «sorry» from the worker, we go, but we hear her complaining, «That’s not right.» I went to tell her that was «bad service» We leave and we still heard her mumbling unfairness when we the customers felt most unfair with the worker’s revolting attitude.
This was the most frightful and horrifying experience ever. This is why I felt so wronged by these reviews on Unilocal.I just hope my long rant won’t be overlooked as that one guy saying something different in a huge crowd banded together with the same idea, but instead, I hope my review could be useful to other people.
Avoid this place at all cost. Nobody goes here.

OMG, $ 7 or $ 8 for a smoothie!!! I mean, it was tasty, but seriously? Even at inflated airport prices, I about had a heart attack. The only reason they got a customer in me is that I really, really wanted a smoothie such that nothing else was going to hit the spot.

I’m a vegetarian with major food allergies. I have to be super organized with my food while traveling so I don’t get sick. Angela instantly put me to ease by showing me which fruit was fresh and voluntarily showing me the ingredients in the soy protein. Yeah, to Angela! I wad able to make it to vege friendly San Francisco healthy and in one piece. Thank you!

Im glad that Juice Express was there, since Im a vegetarian, airports have even less to offer than your typical restaurant. My problem is that these smoothie places are all making you choose your smoothie by a name that they give them along with a gimmick like boosts or things to dilute it out like fillers and such that aren’t exactly making your smoothie a healthy option.
When I go to these places, I have to ask for an «all fruit smoothie», from which I usually get a blank stare in response. So then I have to ask what actual fruit do they have that isn’t a concentrate or a sherbet, then from those I tell them what I would like in my smoothie, and have them make it for me.
I think it is pretty ridiculous that I have to tell people how to make what they are essentially advertising but dooping everyone with fillers and non healthy/​non natural options.
When smoothie places realize that most people go to them for a healthier option, maybe they will wise up, and ordering something good for you might not be such a pain.

756
No, that wasn’t my flight number. But, if you put a decimal after the 7 then you get the price for my «blue berry blitz» protein smoothie at Terminal D of Las Vegas’s McCarran Airport.
It was large enough and they even gave me a nice small cup for the excess from the blender. I also liked that the blueberry and banana combo was simple in that it was not diluted with 4 other flavors added in, so I was actually able to taste the flavors I ordered. There were 3 other protein smoothies available, and other smoothies on the menu provided enough variety to choose from (but no acai).
Based on my flight departure time and fact I already had a late lunch, I opted not to have an early dinner and to make do with a smoothie. With the protein this just about got the job done. I think it’s better than the other places (Cinnabon, Starbucks, etc.) you can get similar drinks here, but understand how someone hungrier might opt to put in another dollar or 2 to buy some actual food.

Healthy and fresh in the airport! Love the pink flamingos (strawberries and bananas). They are quick, its yummy and not too badly priced for being trapped on a terminal :)

Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed them before. This is the only thing I look forward to about coming home after a trip in Vegas. I get me a strawberry/​banana smoothie and it’s just amazing. Definitely a plus to waiting for your flight!
