There's not a ton of healthy smoothie options around CLE or Lakewood, so Robeks works.
I've never been a go-out-and-buy-a-smoothie person. Mostly because I can control the ingredients AND make it cheaper at home. But I guess now I can see the appeal, since I rarely have all the ingredients I want just hanging around.
Things I like:
- Listing of all calorie counts. Just because it's made from fruits and veggies doesn't always mean consuming a large is good for you (or that it doesn't have a scoop of sugary sorbet in it)
- You can ask for 100% fruit in any smoothie for an up-charge
- You can get a scoop of whey protein
Things I don't like:
- Just their location has "temporary hours" which means they're closed on Sundays. DUMB.
There is free, 1 hour parking in the back garage and it's easy to get inside. Construction makes it a bit of a hassle sometimes, but that's not permanent. Oh, and the staff is helpful. If they see you standing there, staring glossy-eyed at the menu, they'll ask you if you need help. And they do actually help!
