Things I love about Awesome Juice bar: - they're open every…read moreday! - friendly staff and service - the acai bases are made to order, and the menu options are extensive, e.g. peanut butter acai, various fruits, etc. I originally thought for example the mango and peach were pieces of fruit on top of the acai base, but it's all blended together AND THEN you can add 4 toppings. A couple areas of opportunity: - the acai base could use more flavor. I didn't get much peach flavor coming through in mine. - the fill (amount of acai base in the bowl) seemed slightly low. The 16oz bowls start at $12.90, which is about $0.50-$1 less than other equivalent offerings in the North Shore. Parking is tight in this strip mall lot (by Subway/Jiffy Lube). Have an awesome day!

I appreciate having a healthier option for a treat!

I've walked by this place so many times to go to Yardhouse, the movie theater, or Potbelly's. I…read moreguess it takes my latest craving for açaí bowls to bring me in here! Loved how many options of bowls they had, though mostly it's different combinations of banana, blueberries, strawberries, cacao nibs, and coconut shreds. Peanut or almond butter are also selections, as are pistachios, which were on my Goin' Back to Cali bowl. For some reason, I was left with a medicinal aftertaste after eating my bowl, and I'm not sure if it was the açaí base or the coconut shreds that were the culprit. The bananas used were also not quite ripe and ready to go and tasted a bit green, if you know what I mean. It's $13.50-15 per 16oz bowl, and there are (cashless) kiosks where you can place your order. An introvert's dream! Easy street parking, and there are a handful of seats to dine in here. Plenty of smoothie options too.

As a vegan, I would love to see Glenview Grind offer more vegan options for their customers. The place is bright and has a lot of seating options. The staff here were great!

To top it all off, the staff and owners are just darling and so sweet and welcoming. Amazing little spot!!

So when I saw that Blended Health & Smoothie Bar had prepped meals, I was willing to give it a try. The meals are available pre-ordered or in-store. I bought two of the best-sellers, Egg roll in a bowl and Buffalo chicken. They are fresh, not frozen, keep for about a week, and the macros and calorie counts are on the label. All ingredients are listed and they are all found in your kitchen. I thought these meals were great. The ERIAB was tasty, a larger portion than I expected for under 500 cals and very satisfying. The Buffalo chicken was also delicious, not too spicy, had cauliflower mash instead of potatoes and also under 500 cals. If you scan the QR code you can see the next week's menu. I'd pick up a meal or two to supplement for the week. I tried a juice as well and it was still frozen the next day. It tasted good, although I'm not a juice drinker. This is a welcoming and friendly place and they patiently answered all of my questions. The have smoothies and açaí bowls as well as a waffle bowl (gluten free) that I'd like to try.

I felt so lucky that Tropical Smoothie Café is so close to home! It is located in the strip mall called Plaza del Prado, where Jewel-Osco has been there for decades. I passed by the mall so often, but had not noticed Tropical Smoothie just a few stores from Jewel-Osco! I did not have their app; I just walked in to order a Mango Monsoon smoothie. The guy behind the counter was friendly and efficient. He worked on the smoothie right away. I was able to leave the store with my smoothie within 5 minutes! There was only another customer at the time when I left. The Mango Monsoon was refreshing and not too sweet. I couldn't believe that I finished all 22-24 oz. in no time! It was delicious! I guess the price of $7.99 plus tips and tax seems fair. Next time I will try some of their food items on their menu too!

You can order from the menu's bowls, wraps or salad or "walk the line" and build a dish from the ingredients set up a la Chipotle. I ordered the first thing -- Superfood because it sounded healthy but I didn't know what was in it (my bad). The calorie counts, carb counts are not listed anywhere and not on the website. It was ok, probably more protein than I needed. Personally I could have done without the raisins (I looked it up - raisins have many benefits) so the salad was ok. My companion really enjoyed their Carolina grains bowl. We also ordered chips and hummus. I think because I am confused by Currito it won't be top of mind for me when I am selecting a place to eat. Do I want a healthy bowl, do I want a salad, do I want a wrap--will I be thinking of Currito? There were a few people stopping in to pick up and we were the only people dining in. It could be that others are confused by Currito as well.
