| - Saw this place on living social and wanted to try it. I was pretty impressed. Thrive has a pretty diverse menu, with options of Acai bowls, smoothies, Acai pops, and a variety of optional add-ins (more protein etc) should you want them (although I'd argue that you don't need any add-ins, the defaults are more than enough!) Prices were pretty reasonable for what you get, and they offered a good variety of sizes. Since mine was dinner, I went for a medium, but should probably have gotten a large (it was THAT good).
I was really excited by the fact that they make their own peanut butter, so I got the peanut butter bowl. It was similar to Jamba Juice's fruit toppers, but tasted much more natural and flavorful (probably because it was). I really liked that there was no added sugar and all ingredients were fresh and healthy. I also saw that there is an option to add oatmeal if you want, and I think it said it was free - I'll have to consider that next time.
The owners were really nice, and explained everything to me. I assumed the chocolate bowls would be less healthy, but was quickly corrected. Apparently the chocolate bowls are made with protein powder, and thus much healthier than your normal chocolate bowl. ;) I'll have to come back for that one.
All in all, I prefer Thrive to Jamba Juice, especially since I'm a big fan of health, local business, and unique food places. I'll definitely be back, and bring friends.
