I'm officially addicted! They offer a wide selection of yummy smoothies and boosters, I always have trouble when picking which one I want. Though pretty much anything I choose turns out to be a good choice. Since they're made with real fruits and yogurt, and not loaded with sugars I feel good after having one of these. They're about $5 each, but for the serving size and fresh products used, I don't mind paying it.
Ok, so having worked at Booster Juice for quite some time, my review is kind of biased.
HOWEVER, I have a really thorough knowledge of all the recipes and boosters, so here are my ratings:
The smoothies - Excellent. High quality fruit, very little added sugar (in the frozen yogurt or sorbet), and large portion sizes. Also, Booster Juice features Acai (a Brazilian berry that's slowly becoming more popular in Canada for it's antioxidant benefits), which is hard to find elsewhere.
The cost - A little bit expensive, but you pay for quality.
The boosters - Nutritional supplements that could be better described on the menu boards. Certain boosters aren't recommended for people with existing conditions, etc, so as with any supplement, you should check with a doctor before you start taking them. ALSO, the dose of many boosters is below levels that are effective, so don't be looking for a miracle.
Personal favourites: Sonic soy, Brazilian Thunder.
Booster Juice serves as an excellent alternative for those who seeks a freshing jolt. They provide a wide selection of beverages, which also includes a warm selection of drinks. It's the perfect thing for my smoothies cravings.
Booster Juice is a great treat that fills you up, but at $5.00 a pop - it'll stay a treat.
There's a big selection of juices, and they come with a free boost each drink! There are a lot to choose from, I usually choose the Power boost or I think it's called the Health boost? but it's for when you need extra vitamins. My favorite flavor is the Mango Hurricane. But I've tried many others and you can't go wrong. Even the regular size is HUGE so you get a lot for your money, and the drinks are prepared really quickly. Definately good for those who want to start drinking healthier drinks, as opposed to carbonated soft drinks.
Although I love Booster Juice, I'll admit that Orange Julius will always be number one to me out of the two. I do however, enjoy the "boosters" that Booster Juice has to offer such as the Protein Booster (Soy-based vegetarian protein powder to add that "extra") or the Power Booster (Is a source of food energy. Specially designed with Creatine). There are about ten different boosters to choose from, and you get a free one with every full sized smoothie. When I don't feel like Orange Julius, I come here instead, and get a 'boost'. It too, is really thirst quenching in the summer, and good for you too!
