Monday, September 21, 2026 is the last day of summer with autumn officially beginning the next day…read more Let's end the summer season with a nice icy beach bowl! Yes, "Playa Bowls" translates directly to "Beach Bowls" because playa is the Spanish word for beach. I came with some spin class gals and what a treat. I ordered The Pura Vida bowl (base of signature açaí topped with blueberry flax granola, fresh strawberries, blueberries, and a drizzle of honey). It was everything I wanted after spin class to cool off and get some good nutrition. Eat your colors, y'all! Playa Bowls started in 2014 as a small sidewalk cart in Belmar, New Jersey, founded by surfers Abby Taylor and Rob Giuliani. With over 400 shops operating across more than 30 states, you can only assume why this place is so well-loved.

I'm bananas for bananas, so naturally I skipped right past the açaí and went straight for the Olas…read moreBowl. The Olas Bowl starts with a banana blend made with banana, honey, and almond milk, then piles on blueberry flax granola, fresh banana, blueberries, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and almond butter. Basically, it is banana on banana. And honestly? I really liked it. The banana base was creamy and naturally sweet, while the blueberries gave it a little tartness and the granola added some much-needed crunch. Coconut flakes and chia seeds gave everything more texture, and the almond butter made the whole bowl richer and more substantial. There is a lot happening in one bowl but somehow the banana still gets to be the main star. Fun banana fact: botanically, bananas are actually berries. The shop itself is really fun, with a bright, beachy vibe that makes a bowl of blended fruit feel vaguely like you are doing something tropical instead of just hiding from the Arizona heat. Four stars from me. The Olas was refreshing, filling, and a nice change from the usual açaí bowl. If you are a fellow banana enthusiast, this is probably the bowl I would point you toward. Although apparently I shouldn't point. So I'll gesture politely in its general direction.

I was actually there to get a pre workout powder from business next door, Peak Nutrition. And I happened to see on the map there was a juice shop. All in all, great juice. I had the evergreen with beets added. The ladies working at the counter were friendly. Price is on the "higher" end because it's healthy food, which usually comes at a premium. I'm not saying it's expensive. My juice was $8 for the smallest size. Thats same as a latte from a coffee shop or a boba tea. But I'm just saying it's not fast, cheap food. Not sure if they use organic produce. I didn't ask. I would come here again to try a smoothie or other juices. With all the foodz and booze I consumed, I also love healthy stuff. Great to detox my system. Cheers to your health!

"The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat are…read morereally good friends." ― Bob Hope First things first, I think it's absolutely ridiculous that three pounds can be added to the weight from just eating one salad all day. I mean, did I top it generously with a lot of cheese? Yeah. Does the dressing-to-salad ratio make it seem more like a creamy vegetable soup instead? Also, yeah... BUT STILL! Here at Robeks, you can feel like treating yourself while also getting your serving of fruits and vegetables. So far I've tried the Hero's Garden Smoothie (fresh spinach, matcha green tea, pineapple, mango, banana, spirulina, flax seeds, and apple juice) + Trim Burner, Avocado & Egg Toast (avocado and a hard-boiled egg with plant-based bacon, olive oil, pink himalayan salt, and Pepper), and their Fig & Prosciutto Toast (fig spread, prosciutto, cream cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and cracked black pepper on a thick slice of sourdough toast). Items are about $10 each, so it's not the most cost efficient, but with them being around the corner from my gym, it's hard to resist. Seating is incredibly limited here, so take your goodies to go. I think there was a picnic bench inside and some outdoor seating. It's not a place you go to socialize, really. "I tried every diet in the book. I tried some that weren't in the book.

This was my second overall time at Tru Bowl, but first time at the Chandler location…read more My man and I were craving some smoothie bowls for breakfast, so we took a 15min drive to Tru Bowl for some bowls! Tru Bowl is famous for the array of bases and toppings you can get, and of course I had to make my own concoction. Bowl 1: Build your own: MEDIUM Coconut, Mango, Blue Majik + OG Chia Seed Pudding. Topped with 3 fruits, pumpkin seeds, gluten free coconut granola and agave. Bowl 2: LARGE Island bowl (no mods) Both were SO TASTY! The variety of flavors in both bowls went very well with each other. It was easy to modify, too, for any dietary restrictions (I personally have a lot of food allergies + gluten sensitivity, and clearly, my bowl was PACKED). The team was very kind and patient with our decision making, and were quick with putting together our bowls. If we weren't going shopping after words, there would have been definitely left overs (to SOME extent) from other our bowls. There was minimal seating, but the complex/shop didn't get too busy to where we didn't have room to sit nor park. Typical smoothie shop vibes on the inside, but loved the touch of the cactus wall :)

On this occasion, I got the super fruit bowl, which was really good and lower in sugar than some of the other bowls. I also grabbed the original mini açaí bowl for my husband. In hindsight, we probably could've just shared the original size and cut that in half. Overall, it was really good. I probably would've preferred more fruit as it seemed like you got the same amount of fruit whether you got the mini bowl or the original so I would've liked to see more of a fruit layer to be incorporated in the bowl that I got however I'm sold and I'll be back to try more.

I came on an overcast day, but can only imagine how refreshing this will be in the summer. They have a menu of different flavored lemonades, açaí bowls, toasts, flatbreads and Shaka salad bowls. This place is a must try! I ordered the original açaí as I've never had one, and it was delicious to say the least! I also ordered the mango pineapple lemonade and it was so good! Their lemonade base is Homeade and delicious. The lemonade sourness with the mango sweetness was incredible. Service was quick and hospitable. Ambiance is calm, but can see this getting packed, and it be high energy.

I was invited here under the impression I'd be having a smoothie and instead was offered things I didn't want, chalky shakes and a woman who consistently tried to push coffee on me even though I don't drink coffee but "because what we add to it doesn't make it taste like coffee." Was her gimmick she refused the answer "no." Herbalife is a scam and I will link the articles proving so and that's exactly what this is.
