So many options and the taste is incredible! The employee helping us out was so kind. She took the time to talk about the different shakes. I'm not from here, but I would definitely make the trip to come here again.

The owner is an awesome, genuine, kind hearted guy, and it’s easy to tell that he has a passion for offering a high quality, delicious and healthy food with great service. His ingredients are all natural and everything I ordered was very fresh! I got a strawberry and banana bowl as well as a protein donut and they were both so delicious! I hadn’t had a donut quite like it before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was great! And he has really low prices compared to any place like this that I’ve been to! I’ll be going here anytime I go to the gym next door! Thank you!

Definitely try this place! The owner and the employees are so sweet and welcoming! We tried the mint chocolate shake and the peanut butter banana shake and they were delicious, not too sweet like protein shakes in other places tend to be. I we also tried the protein donuts and the waffles and they were perfect! Planet fitness, Kennedy fitness, the pit north, and the goat shack all get discounts!!!

My favorite place in town! High protein options for the whole family ! I have family members who are gluten free , dairy free, vegan, and eating low carb diets for diabetes and they can ALL find something delicious and healthy here. The owner (I assume is who I met!) is always friendly and kind . Plenty of seating for the whole family and they give discounts if you have local gym memberships . Why spend $ on a drink at Starbucks when you can get a mocha frappe with protein locally here foe the same price and healthier !
