Jamba Juice - Los Angeles

Crazy? Of course! Would you really expect a juice bar located just above UC Berkeley, with its 30,000 students, to be anything other than packed? The drinks here are consistently fantastic, and they handle special requests—like “hidden twice”—without any issues. I’m a big fan of the Strawberry Nirvana, but I customize it by skipping the bananas and adding extra strawberries, along with a protein boost. These low-calorie treats kickstart my mornings and keep me satisfied until noon.

I had my first experience at Jamba Juice at this Westwood location next to UCLA, and it was almost too good to be true! Admittedly, I haven't tried most of the menu, and I'm not a fan of the Mango A-Go-Go, but I have to rate this place five stars out of sheer obsession. I know it might sound odd, but don't argue with me on this! Also, the smoothies are quite filling. I recommend the Peanut Butter Moo (great for a snack) and their freshly pressed carrot and carrot/orange juices—both are fantastic!
