If you're ever in the area or you're a local to van nuys. Highly Recommend this Gem! You get authentic,raw, natural juices/smoothies/protein shakes. If you're looking to detox naturally without pills/tea. This is your best bet! Because not only are you detoxing with these juices you're also drinking natural herbs/ veggies/fruit that contain nutrients/vitamins that you can't get from a pill or a tea. I discover this place because I'm still on the path of weight loss & healthy Whole Foods ingredients/habits. This is a great place to start your journey. My partner and I also started doing this to not be a high risk for diabetes. This is a Spanish friendly place as well. You can also ask questions or concern of what your health problems are and they will recommend a juice that can help your case. Great reasonably prices for the quality of juice you're getting.overall 10/10 Great customer service , Spanish/English friendly , healthy/organic , you feel welcomed at this shop. Definitely a mom/pop shop definitely a lot of care/ effort read more

I walked into La Bona Energia Raw Juice Bar without a clue of what I really wanted, just a strong craving for a good licuado. What I got was far beyond what I expected. Jonathan and Patricia, the husband-and-wife duo running the place, provided exceptional service from the moment I walked in. Jonathan asked me thoughtful questions about my fruit preferences and what I was in the mood for. The juice he crafted for me wasn't just good, it was honestly one of the best juices I've ever had. (Sorry, Mom! ) As I sat and enjoyed my drink, Jonathan checked in on my health goals and took the time to explain that they actually offer plans specifically tailored to help with those goals. It wasn't just talk either, I've been taking my juices from them consistently for a week now, and I can already feel the difference in my energy, digestion, and overall mood. Jonathan and Patricia are incredibly knowledgeable about greens, fruits, and natural supplements. Their passion for helping people live healthier lives shows in everything they do, from their ingredients to their interactions. They're not just selling juice; they're building a wellness community. If you're even remotely considering stepping up your health game or just want the best damn juice you've ever tasted, go see them. I couldn't recommend them more. read more

This place is a real treat hidden away in Sherman Oaks. No frills, no fuss, this family owned business serves the freshest smoothies and açaí bowls! I was greeted by the lady in the picture and as soon as I ordered, she got to making everything for me, on the spot. I ordered a Mamma Mia açaí bowl and a The Best smoothie. She made everything in front of me so I knew it was fresh. All of her fruits looked so good, nothing rotten. The bowls and smoothies tasted as organic as possible. There's no added sugar (except for a drizzle of honey on the açaí bowl). This might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you like things to be sweet but I thought it was really refreshing! The prices were fair and overall it was a good experience! :) read more

Recently been looking into juices due to trying to add more fruits and veggies in my diet after realizing that I hardly get any nutrients throughout my day. I have been feeling sluggish and foggy minded and physically felt that my body was lacking certain nutrients so one day in between work appointments I looked for a juice bar nearby and saw this little hole in the wall nearby. I was very excited because as soon as you walk in you see all the colorful fruits and veggies and there is a large variety of different types of pressed juices, smoothies, and health shots! My eyes were looking all over the place because they even have great juices for cleanses, detox, hangover cures, etc! As soon as I saw all these I was like yup I found my juice spot! The lovely woman saw me looking around and recommended me a house juice and showed me all the fruits and veggies that go into it and I was like yup that is just what I need! The juice was delicious, I felt more energetic that day and had felt my body thanking me for the nutrients I gave it. The parking here is done with meters. The trip is usually very quick so you could get away without putting quarters in the meters which is what I have done. Such a beautiful place and there is such comfort in this shop. A great hidden gem! 100/10 recommended! read more

History

Established in 2016.

Inspired by the documentary "Fat, sick and nearly dead", the owner of this location started drinking fresh juices to fight lupus. A month later, her symptoms were visibly reduced. Full of energy and having found a new appreciation for nutrition, the owner decided to open up a business to reflect the idea of appreciating life through our nutrition. That's when the Bona Energia was born.

Meet the Business Owner: Yessica F.

My inspiration was born when I'm diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called lupus. one month later I'm started drinking fresh juices and my symptoms were visibly reduced.With full energy and having found a new appreciation for nutrition.

I felt like I was on the verge of being under the weather, so I knew I needed fluids immediately! Fresh ones! Natural Hour is on the edge of a small shopping center. There's ample parking available, at least when I went on a weekday afternoon, and there are also outdoor tables and seats with umbrellas to enjoy your juice and snackies! I was delighted to see their wide selection of menu items. I asked for a recommendation and I went with the Gracious Greens. It was fresh, no ice added (yes!) - just freshly pressed juice from fruit and vegetables. Exactly what I needed! I went for the 24oz and it was $10.99. A $1 difference between that and the 16oz. I went for the largest! I also appreciated the brightness in the shop and how warm and inviting the shop was too. I'll definitely be back to try other items on their menu. Fast and friendly service!

My girlfriend and I came here on a rainy day and it was honestly the perfect spot. The place is…read moredefinitely a vibe. Cozy, laid back, good music (90's Hip Hop & R&B) and a good place to just sit, eat and hang out for a bit. She got the Iced Matcha Peach and I got the Salted Caramel Latte. I'm not really a matcha person, but obviously I tried hers and I have to admit it was pretty good. My latte was really good too. I got the Truffle Mushroom Toast and she had the Chopped Lox Toast. The mushroom toast was really good and they definitely weren't stingy with the mushrooms. I tried her lox toast too, because that's just part of being in a relationship. Hers was pretty good too. Overall, good food, good coffee, excellent service and a really cool atmosphere. Definitely somewhere we'd come back to, especially on another rainy LA day.

My colleague got a smoothie & smoked lox toast - both amazing. The food & drink were top notch. Taking a star off because the service was a little lackluster after we ordered. Maybe it's because we were sitting in the back but we got our toasts but no utensils. Then our drinks were delayed more than I would expect since it wasn't a super busy day. Once everything arrived, it was delicious so can't complain too much!

Wonderful, clean place to have some great, delicious, yummy Açaí Bowls, Smoothies, Baked Empanadas…read more I have been to the Sherman Oaks Ubatuba a few months ago. First time in the Tujunga Village. Place is so quaint, pretty, relaxing, chill with lovely people working here. Got a nice welcome today when I walked in around 1pm by 2 of their employees. They have many variety of toppings, fridge full of cold drinks, bowls of your desires (and they are pretty solid). Not watery like some places that I know that sell Açaí Bowls. Ordered myself a medium bowl covered with strawberries, blueberries, bananas, a touch of granola and some chocolate drizzle in between the fruits and the actual açaí. It was very soothing, refreshing, creamy and tasty. I will save my appetite next time when I go back for some Empanadas. Now I know what the hype is all about. They also have dairy free & vegan options. Metered and residential parking in the front and on the side streets! They also have a gender neutral bathroom. Prices are reasonable according to the portions and they don't skimp. You get it filled up to the brim. Established in 2013 and still going strong after all these years!:-))

I like this little juice / smoothie / salad place and I'm really happy that it's here in Van Nuys! Fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, protein shakes, salads and frozen treats are a healthy alternative to fast-food in the area. I wish they would include fresh vegetable soups as well. Note to owner: Please do this! Freshly made veggie soups would be fantastic. My only criticism is that they have used overly ripe / already turned fruit / veggies on the salads or in a juice mix on a couple / few occasions (the radishes were brown, rotten and mushy, tomatoes were way over-ripe and mushy-kind of thing) which made the juice (or salad) pretty much inedible. I get the impression that the staff doesn't want to say that they are out of a particular ingredient so they will go ahead and use old veggies / fruit but I would much rather hear that they are temporarily OUT vs. handing over something that tastes bad / can't be consumed. That's not a regular-thing though. Really fabulous and healthy, fresh-pressed carrot / apple / beet juice with lemon is SO GOOD (or any of the seemingly infinite combinations available). read more

I'm so happy I finally stopped by this local smoothie spot! The lady working inside was incredibly sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The place was spotless, and I love that it's within walking distance of my apartment. They have an amazing selection of smoothies, protein options, detox juices, and so many healthy alternatives to choose from. I also tried the oatmeal, and it was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh and made with care. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a friendly atmosphere and great, healthy food and drinks. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is a family owned business with a big smile and great attitude. Their prices are extremely low for the portion size. Can customize any order to your liking. They sell deli style sandwiches which are freshly made. The parfaits are healthy yet filling with a crunch that's addictive. They also have huge covered chocolate strawberries which are also delicious. Grab and go with a freshly made salad. And don't forget to grab a smoothie, freshly made juice, or an acai bowl to create a healthy meal for these hot summer days. read more

I love this place! I drive for Lyft as a par- time and given that I live in NoHo I'm around the area a lot. Whenever I feel hungry or I crave something cold I go to La Bona Energia for a fruit smothie, something that feels me up and is specially refreshing in those hot days in the valley. They have a good selection of things to choose from, but the smoothies are the best! Buenísimo, gracias La Bona Energia! read more

I have been to this juice spot a couple times now. Jonathan goes above and beyond to understand what it is you need. Just two weeks ago, I had a horrible stomach ache and he recommended a beet based juice that helped me heal. No artificial sugars are added it's simply just a blend of the right fruits and vegetables. I highly recommend this place, you won't regret it. Worth every penny! read more

I love this place so much. My favorite juice bar in sfv. They have a great selection of products and healthy snacks. My favorite items is the greek fruit salad and the number 8 juice. But i also like the frozen treats. My one concern would be sometimes it gets busy.. but you can call in to get your order in and they can have it ready when you are there to pick up. read more

Jonathan is the best nutritionist I've ever come across. First visit sold me. He knows and understands how the body works and what you need to get better whether it's internal or external. Physically and mentally I've gotten better off of his recommendations. On top of all these benefits ecerything is fresh and taste amazing. Will never not be going to him. read more
