    Came by this Monkee business just after working out. I was craving a berry refreshing recovery drink. After discussing my personal preferences, with the super nice staffer, I ended up opting for the Antioxidant Berry drink. They aren't fooling around with the decor ~~ I love the whimsical, clean, and calming vibe here. Whoohoohoohoohoooo knew this place existed!!! I appreciate healthy & fresh ingredients! *thanks Lucas for making my drink even smoother by "super blending" it for me! It hit the spot!

    Cute new spot that opened up recently by my Lagree studio! They have a ton of high protein flavors to choose from and I love how they list out the calories and protein for each one on the menu. The staff is super nice and the prices are not too bad. Right now they also have an early bird deal for free upgrades! I got the strawberry moon, which was so good! I'll definitely be back to try some other flavors!

    This was our first visit to Fresh Monkee and we had a great experience. I am very happy to have a healthy shake available in La Costa. I had Antioxidant Berry with creatine and it was deliciously tart. My wife had Blueberry Pie. Family friendly, this place will be great for a quick grab and go or a nice place to relax after a workout at 24 Hour. The staff is pleasant, inviting and respectful. Excellent guidance to make an informed choice. The Monkee Balls were dynamite. We will be back in just a few days for sure.

    Ambiance is at level 100% - I love the cozy earth-tone , woodsy interior with a cute lounge area to hang! The staff are good people and the service is impeccable. The kind ladies in the front gave us "monkee balls" to sample. Creamy peanut butter covered in chocolate? Why not!? Delicious! Smoothies - freshly made with whole fruit, top tier health foods and low sugar options/sugar alternatives. I had the banana split with shredded unsweetened coconut sprinkled on top - Perfection! But they also offer sweeter options (Nutella, chocolate chips, etc) for those with a little bit of a sweeter tooth. There's truly something for everyone here. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!! What I love the most are the nutrition facts sheets they have for their smoothies by the front counter. I wish this location were closer to home, but that won't stop me from visiting. I'll surely be back but would LOVE to see a new location in North or South OC.

    This is a great smoothie place! Great service from Lucas. Gave me a Monkey Ball sample with my Chunky Monkey smoothie. Both eye delicious.

    High protein, low sugar, delicious smoothies. My new favorite place! I can actually taste the natural fruits and ingredients. Love that the nutritional breakdown of each shake is posted. No idea how my smoothie has 20 grams of protein - love it! No signage yet - but right next to Petco. Clean, comfy vibe and everyone was really nice and friendly. This place will be replacing my Starbucks addition for SURE!

    Ask the Community - Fresh Monkee

    Do they offer any all fruit smoothie options? Or do they all have dairy/ non dairy milk added?

    All of the shakes have milk or non dairy milk, with the exception of two shakes. Ultimate green and lime green mango, which are made with just juices.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

    Tried this place for the first time. I was craving a juice so I chose Hello Sunshine…read more It tasted healthy mainly because of the spinach and kale in the ingredients but it was like my body was craving it. The girl who made it for me was nice and when I asked her how long the place had been in business she said "at least a couple of years" ... then I come to the Yelp page and see lots of reviews from a decade plus years ago. Ha! I've been to this center soooo many times and never looked its way. It had seating out on the patio area. Was neat and orderly. I'll try this place again. They have lots of choices on the menus here!

    We drove all the way to this place from Camp Pendleton for a shake. We ordered an Ollie shake. In…read morethe description it says "Milk of Choice, Nonfat Vanilla Yogurt, Peanut or Almond Butter, Chocolate, with or without Banana" So I proceeded to order almond milk for milk of choice, almond butter, and the bananas. She up charged me for the almond butter and almond milk because that's not 'how it comes'. Maybe I'm confused, but when it says milk of choice that doesn't mean regular milk and up charge for any other milk usually? When the choice is peanut butter or almond butter why would there be an up charge for almond butter if it says 'or'? We are very disappointed with our visit. Especially for the shakes already costing $12.
