I tried Active Nutrition Protein Smoothie Bar at 3609 #18 Austin Bluffs Parkway in Colorado Springs (next to Wild Wings and behind Fazolis).They are on my way home from work and I could use energy today!Initial Reaction: I can taste a little of the healthy stuff in the shake. The chocolate chips got stuck in the straw and most of them ended up in the bottom and had to be rescued. Save the chocolate! The tea tastes like fruity tea.While I dont buy foo-foo drinks ... almost ever, as a meal replacement shake that was good. I was hungry going in, it smelled great and then I was really hungry, and ... now Im OK.I believe that rather than trying to get there via Austin Bluffs afternoon traffic, Ill go in via American, left on Morning Sun, and right into the parking lot.EDIT: Following up on Shelly Ts Yelp review from 7/22/2021, this is affiliated with Herbalife.EDIT: Following up on Kinsey Fs Yelp review from 5/28/2020, that said theyd been open for 4 months ... why do they still not have an awning sign in July 2021 over a year later?!?
This place is AWESOME! Very delicious smoothies, and the people who work there are incredibly nice. Good to have quality places like this around. π
Not what I expected. This should be advertised as an Herbalife concept. They strictly serve Herbalife. The beverages have a funky artificial aftertaste. No fresh fruit, no substitutions. Bizarre concept but could work for someone on the diet plan.
This is a great Colorado local business that has a lot of protein options! Great smoothie for pre and post workouts!
The shakes are great, appearance wise and taste wise. The staff is friendly and are ready to serve you, and atmosphere is something where you would want to be.
Not it Herbalife stuff chalky weird taste not a fruit or vegetable in the whole spot
Good people, good atmosphere and great selection! Definitely give the cookie dough shake a try.
Me and my Husband went there for the first time and it was a super clean and cute place! We both got a protein smoothie and they were super good and healthy tasting!!! We definitely will be back! π
Herbalife pyramid scheme selling unhealthy products set up as a nutrition bar. They can side step proper food & beverage safety protocols cuz they sell βmembershipsβ with free βsmoothiesβ instead of selling smoothies directly. Herbalife is actively being sued and is linked to liver damage. They also delete FB comments that ask Qs about their ingredientsβ¦that says a lot.
The shake was yummy. The coffee Iβm a tad disappointed in but π€·πΌββοΈ Oh well. Not sure what this separation is. Maybe their coffees donβt blend well. Still tastes ok. Iβm definitely gonna keep trying their other stuff. Maybe try their energy teas in the morning before work. The shake was yummy if just a tad gritty and I could taste a powder of some kind. It wasnβt unpleasant, just weird lol The lady was amazing explaining the whole menu to me. They definitely have something going for them.
First of all what an excellent and awesome experience! The customer service was through the roof made me feel like I was wasnβt a brand new customer, very informative on their selection and omg their shakes/teas are by far the best things to come into my life π I recommend people go to this place before a workout.. after the workout.. or just just on your free time I promise you will not be disappointed and you will come back for more I assure you! Thanks again active nutrition πͺπΎ Me, my family, and friends will be back very soon!
Smoothie wasnβt mixed well with ice chunks. Poor quality blenders are one reason, but also ratio of ingredients. She added more ice after the first blend and seeing that it was to liquidβ¦ that didnβt help. Tasted ok, but just not a pleasant smoothie, and uncertain about all the ingredients.
I always get a warm welcome walking through the door and they are always wanting to help me get healthier. Thank you for all you guys do!!!
Super cute and the people are so nice and informative Iβd recommend this small business over a chain any day
Active Nutrition is great! The people there are so welcoming and helpful. They make great protein shakes and awesome energizing teas!! This is definitely a place I will continue to visit regularly!!
It was my first time in today. I ordered the pink easter egg tea (monthly special) and Nutella shake. It was nutritious & delicious! Andrea & Angelica were super friendly, explained all the menu options thoroughly, gave a punchcard, & shared how to order online through the engage app. I was also able to choose which toppings I wanted on my shake (I went with coconut & walnuts). Bring in your own tumbler/coffee mug (20-30 oz) & straw to save some plastic from going to landfill. They are awesome & will fill your own cup for you. :) The shop has a chill vibe to it too. I will definitely be going back soon!
Great little place, lots of options. My tropical protein smoothie was delicious. Very friendly and pleasant owners too.
Really good spot cant really even tell its a protein shake
So many options, wether youβre looking for something healthy or tasty theyβre all great choices!!
Highly recommend a visit. I stumbled across active nutrition when their staff invited me over. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Awesome customer service and great atmosphere. The Nutella smoothie is my favorite so far. Tasty and filling treat!
One of the best smoothie bars Ive been to in the Springs! The tea and the smoothie we got were delicious and healthy and I could feel more awake compared to other teas Ive had. The prices here were also very competitive! Their staff are friendly, professional, and informative and gave a great recommendation on what I should get.
This place is incredible. I used to drink Dutch Bros/Starbucks every single day as a form of energy and after I found Active Nutrition I have barely gone back to those other places. The natural energy you get from their tea is like no other. It kicks in almost immediately, gets me through my work day and I have zero crash afterwards like I do with other drinks. I have felt so much better after drinking the tea instead of sluggish and tired, and it has even helped shed a few pounds. Every member of the staff is fantastic and super kind. 10/10 recommend this place.
In the area and wanted a drink! This place is perfect because its gear towards nutrition. I got the combo which is a shake meal replacement and a tea, so yes you get two drinks. I got the wedding cake shake and the chai melon tea. The wedding cake shake taste so good! It really taste like a cake but not overly sweet. The chair melon has a strong taste to it but not bad. I would probably go for the tropical mango instead next time just because i prefer my teas to be subtle. I will definitely be coming back if Im in the area.
The smoothies are really good but Ive been in here several times and the staff are not wearing masks.
Hands down the best place ever! Fantastic drinks for before and/or after your workout, or even if you just want to treat yourself! Amazing staff, great atmosphere, super awesome owner! Cant wait to try out the whole menu!
What a great experience!! We stopped to try out a shake ..We had a birthday cake, Carmel latte and cinnamon roll:) They were amazing!! You were so sweet!Be Blessed with your new business..xoxo
Super good shakes and tea! Wouldnβt recommended stopping in before work. Waited 18 mins for my shakes. Which has never happened before today. But I myself will never return when Iβm on a time limit
Delicious! Highly recommend if looking for a meal replacement shake or a yummy tea! So many options!
Delicioso! Taste too good to be healthyπ
The ladies that work here are super sweet, and welcoming. I tried the mango Tea, and it was very good!! Good prices, and such a awesome pace to try.
Banana nut protein smoothie with granola... best protein drink Ive ever had π€©
The protein coffee is great!
