Brickyard Nutrition opened at Brickyard Square next to GNC, which serves up energizing teas, smoothies, and shakes. They also offer protein coffee. Numerous nutrition drink bars have been popping all over the place in the past two years, similar to the froyo shop craze 10 years ago. The Orange Leaf froyo shop was located in this same shopping center a few years ago.
Similar to other healthy nutritious drink bars, they serve up an interesting good variety of protein shakes and energizing, boosted mega teas, which changes often. Shakes/smoothies are $8 plus tax. mega teas $9.17 plus tax and basic teas (not available yet) $4 plus tax. Combo pricing for both mega (or boosted) tea and smoothie/shake is $14-$15.17 plus tax, very similar pricing to other nutrition drink bars in the area. Herbalife is used in their drinks, so do your research if it is right for you.
The atmosphere is inviting and with very limited seating due to the pandemic, which has a few tables and chairs and soft chairs to enjoy your crafted beverage(s).
On my recent visit to Brickyard Nutrition, I decided to go with one of their shakes, a Praline French Toast Shake ($8.72), figuring since they did not offer a basic mango tea at the time of this review and I went over to Starbucks afterwards for tea. The Praline French Toast Shake was thick and refreshing, which had the flavors of a sweet cinnamon and toast in one drink and topped with cinnamon and yellow, red, brown and orange leaf candy pieces on top for fall colors. There was a slight aftertaste of the additives in my drink though.
Like I mentioned, Brickyard Nutrition operates in similar fashion to other nutrition oriented tea and smoothie/shake bars, but with similar and varied creative drink offerings there. One of my friends in Upstate NY owns another nutrition drink shop which just opened over the weekend and her drink offerings are very similar. read more
