Sometimes, all you need to hit the spot is a smoothie. Whether as a snack between meals or a big, moreish one for lunch, we’ve listed the best smoothie spots in Joburg for you.
Nova Bistro
The bistro located in The Houghton Hotel serves breakfast, lunch and dinner not forgetting their delicious and wholesome smoothies! The best part is that they sell Vegan smoothies such as their Green Monster creation with Avo, Spinach, Pineapple, Almond Milk and a drizzle of Honey! Looking for something a tad bit sweeter? Try the Babalas Buster made with Peanut Butter, Honey and Banana! View their menu here.

Kauai
This one’s an oldie but a goodie. These days, Kauai is firmly on the superfood bandwagon, so are hemp seeds, nut butters and kale, plus a host of others feature on their smoothie menu. You can even have vitamin C-enriched smoothies if you’re feeling a bit under the weather. Our favourite is a toss-up: either the Peanut Butter Bomb withwhey protein (grass-fed), sugar-free peanut butter, banana, cacao, full cream yoghurt, milk or the All The Greens Smoothie with mango, cucumber, pineapple, celery, baby spinach, pressed apple juice, chia and hemp seeds.

Leafy Greens Café
Situated in the Muldersdrift area, Leafy Greens Café is the perfect place to perch yourself on the terrace under the sun and sip on a refreshing smoothie. We love the Almond Butter Smoothie, which is made with raw, stoneground almond butter, pea and hemp protein powder, bananas, dates, maca, mesquite and lemon. It’s as good as it sounds and the health benefits are endless! If you want to add a superfood booster to your smoothie there are plenty to choose from, like baobab, which contains vitamin C, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium and fibre, or lucuma, an antioxidant fruit that contains vitamin B and is also an immune booster.

The Local Kitchen Co.
This home-style eatery is a great place to pick up a smoothie. Whether you want to sit down and enjoy or grab it as an on-the-go snack, it’s completely your choice. Their Get Up and Go smoothie is made with oat bran, mango, low-fat yoghurt and honey and will work well for breakfast. Or how about their classic Peanut Butter and Banana made with low-fat yoghurt, peanut butter, frozen banana and honey? Yum!
