Personally, I would want more options for acai bowls (which is why Blue Bowl is still the best). I would also make a comment that the ingredients aren't blended fully. I actually don't mind (kind of nice because you know real ingredients are being used and blended), but just mentioning in case, for example, you're feeding a kiddo and they wonder what the green thing staring at them from the bowl is.

Overall (2.75/5) First time trying Thrive Smoothies and I…read moregot the Strawberry Swag. Honestly, it tasted more like a slightly strawberry flavored protein shake than a smoothie. First Impressions (3/5) The smoothie is extremely thick, almost like an acai bowl because of how many bits are in it. I was expecting something colder and sweeter. What We Got (2.75/5) * Strawberry Swag: Very thick with lots of bits and a noticeable protein flavor. Barely any sweetness and it was not very cold. Taste and Quality (2.5/5) The strawberry flavor is there, but the protein flavor is much more noticeable. There is basically no sweetness, and the texture is very thick. If you like thick, protein heavy smoothies, you might enjoy it, but it wasn't really what I was looking for. Service (N/A) Space and Atmosphere (N/A) Was It Worth It (2.5/5) Not really for me. It is probably better suited for someone looking for a filling protein smoothie rather than something sweet and refreshing. Final Thoughts If you're into thick, protein heavy smoothies with very little sweetness, this could be your thing. For me, it was more like a slightly strawberry protein shake than a smoothie.

The place is super cute with lots of tables, bright colors, some comfy seating, and some claw machines for the littles. The kiddo ordered a taro milk tea with boba (his go-to), I went with the regular hot matcha latte with almond milk, and the mister got himself a hot coffee latte with almond milk. The taro milk tea with boba was tasty (I had to sneak a sip) and the boba was cooked perfectly. My hot matcha latte was okay, I had hoped for a bit of a stronger matcha taste but was glad they offered almond milk as a substitute. The mister's hot coffee latte was a treat (that's what he said)! We didn't order one but the Croffle desserts looked amazing so we'll be sure to try that the next time we visit. Just a heads up for those who are dairy-free/lactose intolerant - the substitutions are only available for certain drinks, not all drinks. Big shout out to the ladies behind the counter, they were friendly, helpful and just all around awesome!

I have lived in the Mission Viejo area for years but have never been here until I was researching smoothie places on Yelp. This place has a large smoothie offering. There are so many options, it is almost overwhelming! I have been here 3 times, the first two times I have gotten the Regular "Green Star" smoothie twice, as I really like green/veggie smoothies. This smoothie is really good and has Apple Juice, Non-fat yogurt, Banana, Spinach, and Kale. For my 2 free Boosts I usually add the Oat Bran and Spirulina. Both times the smoothie was really good, flavorful and not too sweet. I most recently tried the "Mars" smoothie and added Kale for a $1. This smoothie was also very good as well! I will definitely get it again! The regular size smoothie is currently $8.50 and 24 ounces. While I think it is slightly pricy, I do believe the price is justified for what you get. Lastly, the store appears clean and well kept. I highly recommend Juicy Way!
