Nrgize Lifestyle Cafe

So I usually go to the Juice Bar in the LA Fitness on Lake. They serve delicious smoothies with real fruits and veggies. You can imagine my utter disappointment after taking three sips of my blueberry banana smoothie only to find that i taste alllllll sorts of sugar and perhaps one blueberry. Yes… That is correct. Anyway so when I was ordering I asked if they use milk (because I am lactose intolerant). Her answer should have been the red flag. She smiled and said «No they are all lactose free. It is vanilla based». Clearly I only heard what I wanted to hear cuz… Wtf is vanilla based? I was all excited and ordered it (thinking duhhhh it is a gym it is going to be fresh and full of blueberries and bananas). Well assumptions don’t get me far. It was not until my first taste where I realized «vanilla based» meant ice blended powdered sugar slushy. Two large «smoothies» was $ 11.50 & I would have said that’s a steal for the amount they gave me except I know powder & ice don’t cost much to make :-).

This place should be renamed «Garbage Smoothie Café.» It’s terrible and disgusting. None of their smoothies use real fruit. It’s all powered b.s. with ice thrown in a blender. Save your money and instead go down the street to whole foods. This place is pricey for the garbage it serves.
