Not quite what I was looking for. I came in craving a refreshing, fruit-based protein smoothie, but this spot didn't quite hit the mark for me. I tried the Strawberry Banana and Banana Bread flavors based on the staff's recommendations, who kindly assured me they weren't too sweet. Unfortunately, they tasted overly sugary and artificial -- I couldn't really detect any real fruit flavor, and I left feeling like I'd had more of a dessert than a smoothie. I also sampled a friend's Java Chip, which tasted more like a faux chocolate shake than anything nutritious. That said, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, so I'm adding a star for the great customer service. If you're in the mood for a sweet treat or a dessert-style shake, this place might be for you. But if you're looking for a healthier, more refreshing smoothie option, I'd look elsewhere. read more

CRUSH - Strawberry banana and banana bread protein smoothie - Cafes Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Walked in for the first time was very impressed with how informative & friendly the staff was. Pretty awesome place to grab something heathy to give you energy or a healthy meal replacement shake! I highly suggest you check this place out. read more

Learned about this place recently and am already back for more! The first time I came, I had the Peachy Peach tea and loved it. I didn't have caffeine yet that day and this tea made me feel energized for the rest of the day. I love that is low carb and does not rely on juice to make it full of flavor; they've found a way to give their teas sweetness and strong flavor while still being healthy. Today I tried the french vanilla shake and my husband got the peanut butter cup shake, both were excellent! I'm so impressed with how flavorful they are while still being low calorie and low carb. The flavor strength is just right, you don't get the protein powder taste but you also don't get an overwhelming amount of flavor which can also a turn off in some protein drinks. I'm a type 1 diabetic and wear a continuous glucose monitor, so I can confirm that the shake does not spike your glucose levels. In fact, you could barely even tell I ate anything from my trend graph! Such a rarity for something that is considered a meal replacement drink. The shake kept me feeling full all afternoon and served its purpose of replacing my lunch meal for the day. They have so many flavors to choose from and I'm sure all of them are great. I'm looking forward to coming back to try more soon! read more

Found this wonderful place on instagram. My wife is post surgery bariatric patient. She needs protein and craves sweets. Crush nutrition really is the best place for that. Shakes, wonderful, protein teas, homemade snacks. The donuts are delicious. Shakes are so good and healthy. So if you're looking for a healthy snack or meal replacement, give crush nutrition a try. The owners are super helpful and friendly! Got a nice chill friendly vibe! read more

CRUSH is so good! I come every Saturday after my workout and they're so patient when I'm figuring out what to order every time. They're drinks are so healthy and nutritious and I love that the owner is there every time I'm there so when I bring someone new in with me, they tell them about why their drinks are the best. Every drink has at least 17g of protein and I believe somewhere around 25 vitamins and minerals. Their wide variety of protein shake flavors makes everything so much better! read more

The two smoothies we ordered were great! Protein and nutrition wise and taste wise. But we got our 3 y.o a drink and it was basically some syrup, water, and ice and was not good at all. It is unnecessarily expensive in my opinion but that maybe just because it's got protein powders and stuff added. read more

Really enjoy this place. Aj and Megan are so friendly and hospitable. Their idea of healthy drinks is a great refresher for our area. The protein shakes are super filling and could be a nice replacement for a meal. The power teas are a wonderful healthy way to get some energy. Love that they have an outside patio to enjoy your shake in the sun. read more

this place can be nice and all for the drinks and stuff, pretty convenient if u wanna hit ur protein intake but the middle age blonde girl that's working there is madddd disrespectful. honestly both the girl workers were. she was getting agitated that i was thinking abt what drink to get... and if id ask a simple question like if i can replace a topping with a supplement... it came w some attitude and acted like i should be knowing what i get with my order. repeating the toppings twice like it wasnt in front of me and i was a child ? clearly didnt understand my question... anyway also once she was on the phone while i was walking in and said hi to the person on the phone and not me- i ended up saying hi to myself to which then she looks up and goes oh.. hi.. we'll be with u soon. no small talk till some dudes walked in and all of a sudden they're all chatty, laughing, and can explain their dumb questions they have about the menu- ive saw a few reviews like this already so i suggest some optimism and no bias when perceiving ur customers cus at the end of the day ur getting their money... but nice try i guess.. my experience w the male owner was chill tho imo. read more

Wow! You have to try this place. Tasty and healthy shakes! Who would have thought? I'll go into detail below, but TLDR; ... just go there! ........ I saw this new place on IG and saw a fun video, so I wanted to check it out. Crush is located on the east side of the Walmart shopping center on Damonte, right next to H&R Block. It was a rainy day, so it wasn't too crowded when we went in, and the owners (AJ and Megan) explained the array of drinks they serve. A few things stuck in my mind: high protein, low calorie, plant-based, no milk. They also have two seasonal food items: waffles and mini protein donuts. There is also another item that takes up an entire page of the menu which I didn't try (Power Tea -- will save that for the next visit). I ordered the "Elvis" shake (banana shake) and the mini protein donuts. Combined...less than 400 calories with over 30 grams of protein! The Elvis is deelish, but given the extensive menu, I will be trying different flavors and ranking them. But don't forget about the Power Teas! There are almost as many different flavors of those as the shakes (Teas do not have the protein but are energy teas...low caffeine, though). We have tried to make protein shakes at home, but they do not compare to Crush protein shakes. I might even have to apply for a part-time position to learn their secrets :) The store is locally owned and not part of a franchise. I believe it is dog-friendly, with even a little pet area in the back (not sure if that's just for decoration). It makes sense to be dog-friendly as there is a pet grooming store a few doors down. I consider Crush to be a good find for us. Hopefully others will read the Yelp reviews and give them a try! read more

Love this place! Hard to pick the tea OR a shake so I settle for both! Their protein shakes taste like dessert without the guilt. The teas give you long lasting energy without the crash. The protein waffles are so good too! Owners are very friendly as well. If you need a boost or crave a guilt-free treat? Come here! (I would have taken a picture of the protein shake but it was long gone before posting this review) read more

Found this baby from a coupon I got at my yoga studio and glad I came in! I got a combo which was a protein shake and tea! I got the Samoa protein shake which tastes like the mint girls scout cookie. The tea was the peach one and wow! Both were fantastic! Since it was my first time, the owners were there and gave me the low down and recommendations which I appreciated! Truly the star of this place is their cute little doggy that hangs out in the corner! He was so cute! read more

Love this place! The workers are so kind and amazing at there job and so nice! There drinks are amazing, my personal favorite is there Peachy Peach iced tea. But there was one thing that made me give a 4, and that's because when I first got the Peachy Peach iced tea I loved it, it was very good, but this time that I got it it tasted different, and I wasn't really felling it so that's why I have a 4. But overall I love this place and I do recommend coming to the nearest Crush store because they have a lot of awesome options. read more

This place is amazing! I have gone twice now and will be returning as often as I can, especially after a tough workout. Their protein shakes are really good-high quality protein and low in calories which is a win-win for me. We have tried the Cookies in Cream, Dutch Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cup-all amazing. I also find this is such a good option for kiddos who want a treat/shake but need some additional protein and vitamins. The teas give me the energy boost I need to "CRUSH" my goals for the day. No joke. AJ and Megan are so incredibly kind and knowledgeable. The location is great which makes it super easy to stop in for a drink or meal replacement while you are out running errands. You definitely need to give this a try!!! read more

Can't wait to try more of the delicious drinks read more

Crush has quickly become one of my favorite places! I had heard great things about it from members at my gym and I finally got to stop in for my friends birthday. I have been back pretty much every week since lol. I like to try a different protein shake each time I go and they all have been really tasty and filling. I also really love that they have monthly special flavors for the teas and shakes. I'm currently hooked on the Shamrockin March special shake. My favorite treat on the menu has to be the chocolate banana waffles. They are so good and have 31 grams of protein and you would never know it. It's really nice to have a place to visit where I can treat myself while also getting good nutritional benefits. read more

This was my first time at Crush. AJ and Megan were very friendly to all the customers. The environment was extremely clean and the protein drinks were the best I've had. We had the Orange cream with extra protein and Cinnamon Toast Crunch with extra protein. We also tried the caramel protein donuts. If anyone is nearby, this place is a must stop. It's really hard to find healthy options with high protein and low sugar. This place will definitely become a regular spot for us! Let's keep them open Reno! -Kelsey read more

Writing this review after my 2nd visit. First impressions - the store is very clean and well put together. Nice signage and ambience. The customer service is excellent. I was greeted warmly by both AJ and Megan. My first time in with my wife we were not sure how things worked so AJ was happy to explain the menu, the combos, and a few suggestions then gave us a minute to look over the flavor options. Our drinks came out very quickly and both reminded us to shake up the tea so you're not overloaded with the flavor (as it's kind of layered). Both Megan and AJ seem genuinely excited about their products and engaging with customers. On to the taste test. On the first visit I got the hulk smash tea and the cookies n cream shake. Hulk smash was a 10/10 for me. The cookies n cream was 8.5/10 on flavor alone, however keeping in mind that its a protein shake, not a sweet treat id' bump it to a 9/10. My wife got the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, 10/10 on flavor. Today I tried the Elvis shake, I'm a big peanut butter fan so this was a 10 for me. I'm telling you these shakes aren't just "pretty good for a protein shake", in my opinion the flavor competes very well with a traditional "dessert" type shake, and the nutrition blows it away. These truly can be meal replacement shakes as well, kept me feeling full for around 5-6 hours afterward. Crush is definitely worth a visit for the delicious drinks alone, the friendliness of the owners is a great bonus! read more

Hi AJ. Thank you for the apology, it would have been better received had you ended it there. My goal in posting this was to hopefully make the owner aware of his/her employee's demeanor...it makes it worse that you are the owner. It's expected that you'd try to minimize your behavior to try to offset a poor review. Ultimately, you know how our interaction went down and if you actually believe what you typed in your response, you should go back and review your video because your attention to detail and/or memory are lacking. Your comment about providing me with a quality product instead of a "plain waffle" is laughable. Freudian slip perhaps? Since I ordered the strawberry/banana waffle I'd hope it would contain those ingredients. "Now that I know you really do want to get to know us we would love to chat!" Another Freudian slip? I'll refrain from pointing out some of your other non-sensical comments. Hopefully by bringing this to your attention, you'll be more careful to be welcoming to every customer. read more
