Provo's smoothie and juice bar scene reflects the city's fitness-oriented culture. With Y Mountain hikers, canyon trail runners, and a university population that cares about what they put in their bodies, the demand for quality blended drinks has created solid options — from national chains with reliable menus to local spots doing creative things with fresh ingredients.
Whether you're looking for a post-workout refuel, a healthy meal replacement, or just something cold and delicious on a hot summer day, these are the spots worth your time.
The Best Smoothie Shops
Roxberry Juice Co.
$ · Multiple Locations
The most reliable smoothie option in the valley. Roxberry's menu covers smoothies, açai bowls, pitaya bowls, fresh juice, and smoothie bowls — all made with real fruit and customizable ingredients. The açai bowls are generous with toppings, and the smoothies hit the right balance between healthy and actually enjoyable. Multiple locations across Provo and Orem mean there's usually one nearby.
Order this: The açai bowl with granola, banana, and honey. For smoothies, the Tropical Bliss is the crowd-pleaser.
Best for: Post-workout fuel, healthy meal replacement, quick afternoon pick-me-up.
Guru's Café
$ · Center Street
Guru's isn't a smoothie shop, but their smoothie and açai bowl game deserves a spot on this list. The açai bowls are some of the best in the valley — thick, properly blended, with generous portions and quality toppings. The smoothies use real ingredients and come in enough variety to keep regulars rotating through the menu. The bohemian atmosphere makes it more of an experience than a grab-and-go stop.
Order this: The açai bowl is the signature. Any of the tropical smoothies are reliable.
Jamba Juice
$ · Multiple Locations
The national chain delivers reliable, predictable smoothies with a broad menu. Jamba isn't going to surprise you with creativity, but it's consistent, fast, and available at convenient locations. The protein-boosted smoothies work well as meal replacements, and the seasonal specials occasionally deliver something interesting.
Best for: Convenience, reliability, when you know exactly what you want.
Beyond Smoothies
Soda Shops with Blended Options
Utah's soda shop culture has expanded into blended drinks. Swig, Sodalicious, and FiiZ all offer frozen blended drinks, milkshake-style options, and creative combinations alongside their signature dirty sodas. These aren't health-food smoothies — they're indulgent, sweet, and satisfying in a different way. See our Soda Shops Guide for the full breakdown.
Energy Drink Shops
A growing category in Provo: shops that build custom energy drinks with flavored syrups, cream, and add-ins on a Monster or Red Bull base. These are popular with students during finals season and anyone who wants more excitement than a plain energy drink. They're not smoothies or juices — they're caffeinated sugar bombs — but they occupy a similar "custom drink" niche.
Coffee Shops with Blended Options
If you drink coffee, most Provo cafés offer blended espresso drinks that function like smoothies with a caffeine boost. Alchemy Coffee, Peace on Earth Coffee, and other local spots blend quality espresso with ice and milk for refreshing cold options. See our Best Coffee Shops Guide.
Making Your Own
The most cost-effective smoothie is the one you make at home. A decent blender (a Ninja or Vitamix refurbished model pays for itself quickly) and frozen fruit from Walmart, Costco, or Trader Joe's gets you smoothies for $2-3 each versus $7-9 at a shop.
The base recipe: Frozen fruit (banana + berries or mango), liquid (milk, almond milk, or juice), and protein (Greek yogurt, protein powder, or peanut butter). Blend until smooth. Total time: 3 minutes. Total cost: $2-3.
Local grocery tip: Trader Joe's in Orem has the best selection of frozen smoothie ingredients at competitive prices. Their frozen açai packets let you make bowls at home for a fraction of the shop price.
