Let me just tell you, the parking lot was packed full of what seemed like regulars running in to go get their drinks. I was a bit intimidated by the extensive menu however, I went with my gut and you can never go wrong with piña colada! The establishment didn't have much to it on the inside as they still practice COVID guidelines and you aren't able to sit in store or utilize the restroom as a customer.

This smoothie shop is right next to LA fitness so it is going to become our go to for our post workout recovery smoothie! They were quick/sufficient when making our smoothies!

This review is written by someone who generally does not like smoothies…read more This being said, perhaps smoothies were never the problem. Maybe it was just that I had never had these smoothies in particular. Something about the blend, quality of fruit, perfectly balanced in sweetness, flavor, and texture, was enough for me to empty the contents of my drink in record time. There were no ice chips interfering with the smooth elements of mingled fruit, no seeds or chunks that lingered on my tongue. It was the absolute best smoothie I ever had. Hands down. I ordered the mango mania with ginger. The flavors were extremely complimentary and the ginger added a zing to the citrus that was sort of addictive. Natural Defense is extremely clean, locally owned and operated, and has a diverse menu with various combinations. Plus, the woman behind the counter was immensely knowledgeable about supplements and vitamins. In short, I highly recommend this shop and if you're a fan of citrus, definitely try the mango mania!

Was looking forward to trying. We are organic advocates. Disappointed to see 3 of the 4 Vitamins I…read morepicked up were expired. Not on sales just selling full price expired vitamins. Atmospherically, the dusty fake plants take away from the concept of natural foods. Tremendously. Made me think it was more of a niche business than a business focused on health. The lady did not greet us ,smile, she just raised her eyebrows when it was our turn to order. I ordered a make your own, and noticed she put an orange powder in one of the smoothies. I don't recall seeing orange powder on any ingredients. I felt spicy in my mouth hours after the drink. What was in the powder? I'll never know. Overall I likely won't be back. In general I would say: play some nice gentle music that's positive like some reggae or instrumentals. Ditch the fake plants and opt for new ones that are real that you care for. Teach the employees how to greet and say hello how are you what can I help you with. Do monthly inventory to find and discount expired vitamins. Ditch the mystery powders. Good luck.

We decided on a whim to try this place after driving past on a Saturday afternoon. It's in a small…read moreplaza and parking is limited. It probably doesn't help that one of the businesses in the plaza is Avis Rental and they have several cars in the parking lot. Luckily Arden has 2 designated spots right out front and we were able to snag one of them. We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in. The inside was clean and very organized. We told them it was our first visit and they walked us through the process. Step one is simple, pick the size 16oz/$5.50 or 24oz/$6.50. Then select your base: milk, water, apple, pineapple or multi-green. Lastly choose your fruit (up to 3; each additional fruit 80¢). There are also some "healthy extras" you can add for varying prices. I chose an apple base with blueberry, mango and strawberry. My husband chose mostly the same fruit (substituted raspberry for mango) and he had a mixed base of apple & pineapple at the recommendation of one of the employees. We both loved them. The cashier told us about their rewards program so we signed up and to our surprise we earned a treat with our first order of just two smoothies. We got the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie (plant based and palm sized). The customer service was great. We'll definitely return.

I was greeted the second I walked in and they weren't too busy but it was after 1pm. They have nothing but smoothies & juices. There are some drinks/ snack options at the counter but mainly smoothies. Loads of flavor & ingredient options and I got a medium smoothie but this thing looks like a large! What I really loved was after blending my order the lady behind the counter offered me a small Jell-O shot sized cup of my mix & asked if I wanted to taste it!!! Then when I said "it's ok" she asked if I wanted to add more of anything? I said more blueberry & guess what she did & had me taste it again!! When does that ever happen?? The taste was everything! Service was great! And with a medium smoothie (with extras) and a bag of chips I was a little over $10! I will definitely be back!
