Lifehouse Tonics - West Los Angeles

I have passed this place dozens of times and finally stopped to try it today. They give samples of all products that are really helpful as some of the drinks have strong flavors that you may not commit to their $6-9 price range (12 oz bottle). All I tried was pretty good, but the Shroom Shake is the s*t! This thing tastes like a thick chocolate shake with a hint of coffee (espresso is one of the ingredients) and it is completely plant-based and loaded with mushroom food. The woman working there was very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. The prices are usually somewhat high, but considering the variety and quality of ingredients I would say it is quite space for what you get (that is many levels of a nude juice). Not sure that this place should be listed as all vegan, as there is a “Bulletproof coffee” product loaded with butter, but I did not confirm the ingredients on it. Apart from this questionable article, the drinks, chocolates and snacks are all plants based and delicious.

We were very excited to try this restaurant after seeing their Instagram posts, but the location in Century City turned out to be just a kiosk selling pre-made juices and tonics. The girl working there was friendly and we were able to sample some items not on the menu, which was nice. We really enjoyed the coffee smoothie, but unfortunately it was not available to purchase later in the day. My friend liked the pineapples, and I enjoyed my mint chip smoothie, especially since it was buy one get one half off due to the high prices. It would have been helpful to have nutritional information available, but hopefully that will be added soon.

Although the prices are a bit high overall, I think it is worth it considering the variety and quality of the ingredients they use (which are on par with a high-end juice bar). I am not sure if this place should be labeled as entirely vegan, as they offer a "bulletproof coffee" product that may contain butter, but I did not confirm the ingredients. Besides this one questionable item, all the drinks, chocolates, and snacks are plant-based and delicious.

Give the Orange and Carrot Juice Blend a try - you won't be disappointed!
