    Strawberry fields shake (with strawberry, vanilla protein)
    Yoandra V.

    I love this place. It's an outdoor grab and go smoothie, acai bowl store. While it is a little more expensive than other food and drink places at CSUN, it is very much worth it I usually get the organic super-shake which has vanilla protein, organic superfood and peanut butter. I also get the strawberry fields which has strawberries and vanilla protein. Both of these are really good and you can also substitute regular milk for soy or almond (if available). I like how you can now go to the iPads just outside and order your drinks there so you can have time to fully look through the menu and take your time deciding what to get before paying at the cashier window. I also love how they recently added a canopy since there was little to no shade and sometimes it was too hot to stand in line or wait for drinks. These drinks are perfect after going to the gym or if its too hot ( it does get too hot in the valley around july - november).

    Blueberry, peanutbutter, banana, and protien

    This place uses whey gold standard protein which is really good quality. Shakes are delicious but a little on the pricey side. My favorite is the cold coffee shake with a scoop protien! This place perfect for a quick healthy snack before class or after a good workout!

    Shake Smart is my favorite place to go after the gym. They have all sorts of healthy options to choose from and I find that their nutrition fact information is defiantly worth keeping if you plan to come here a lot. Shakes/Food: I've almost had everything on the menu because I basically live at shake smart. But my to go items are the Rawcai Bowl (taste so good! Especially the acai when it's three scoops mixed in with the strawberry jam at the bottom) or he PB squared ( Peanut butter is my favorite snack when it comes to being healthy LOL so this one is def. a must try when you go. I also love the texture and the protein blended in). Service: I sometimes do the Secret Shopper and they always get good reviews from me because the service is great. Everyone there is friendly and helpful! Environment: Super small and spacious. It can take a while to get your order when it's packed but when it's empty you'll get your order fast!

    Original acai bowl
    Gabby R.

    Everything served here is amazing! The chocolate shake and the original acai bowls are my favorite. The staff here is always friendly and attentive. After an intsense exercise, or a fast bite before class, the food served here is definitely my go to option. The fruit is fresh and there are multiple options to customize your order.

    Honestly... dry oats lol. Still yummy

    This place is hit or miss. Smoothies are definitely on the sweeter side at times. Wraps are a hit, especially the turkey and sun dried tomato one. I ordered overnight oats and they look dry as hell. Definitely not how I expected them to look. They're still pretty good though. I wish they added more fruit, I got blueberries in it and they didn't really put too many. Staff is usually really nice so that's always appreciated.

    Cold brew coffee smoothie with peanut butter (yum!) and original acai bowl (okay)
    Jill F.

    I ordered a cold brew shake ($4.50) with peanut butter and an original acai bowl ($6.50). The acai smoothie base itself was a bit watery and bland though not at all icy. By itself, it was pretty meh. The granola, seeds, and banana were the perfect amount on top though and they made the bowl more interesting. My friend got the P&B acai bowl. The smoothie base was much nicer tasting (peanut butter makes everything delicious), but it would be nice to have bananas on top rather than the chocolate chips. I enjoyed the cold brew shake a lot. Do note that it tastes much better with the peanut butter. My friend got it without the add-on, and it was a little more bitter and thin. My whole bill was $11.50. It was a light, refreshing breakfast. I was probably 70% full.

    Great customer by Kurt will only come back coz of him.

The standouts were the green beans, the Brussels sprouts that came with the chicken, the pork shank and the tuna and crunchy quinoa salad. I'm still thinking of that crunchy quinoa. We had no room for dessert. So maybe next time we try the goat curry, get the quinoa salad again and get dessert! The service was great too. Attentive but not overbearing. It's a cute restaurant both inside and outside.
