"The best part of any acai bowl is the Grimace-colored blended fruit at the bottom, so it’s no surprise that one of LA's best acai bowl chains also makes great smoothies, too. Their namesake smoothie has a strong acai base and plenty of tropical fruit, but they also have ones that are more decadent and milkshake-adjacent, like the Protein Machine with a heavy amount of peanut butter. Also, most locations are open until 10 or 11pm, in case you want to end the night with a smoothie nightcap." - cathy park, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
