Nekter has become one of my favorite stops for a healthy breakfast or snack. Quick, casual, and affordable, this spot has some of the best smoothies, juices and acai bowls in LA. After a night of cheat food, I love coming to Nekter for a super healthy breakfast, and I can’t imagine a week without their GF and vegan acai bowls filled with super foods…
Everything on Nekter’s menu is vegan and gluten-free; just make sure that if you order a bowl, you request GF granola. There are so many juice shops and health-food restaurants that feature acai bowls that it’s hard to say which shop has the best. However, I can say with confidence that the acai bowls at Nekter have to be some of my favorites. The bowls are less than $7 for a large portion and are blended with only wholesome ingredients. My go-to bowl is the Acai Tropical Bowl blended with banana, coconut butter, and cashew milk, and topped with banana, granola, coconut flakes and agave. Nekter’s fresh pressed juices are also great; they have a great pre-set selection or you can make your own. The Toxin Flush made with parsley, spinach, apples, lemon and ginger is the perfect cure after a night out. For other health remedies try a wheatgrass shot or ginger shot.
Nekter may seem like just another juice shop in the sea of juice options in LA, but this shop is doing it right. Some places pack their smoothies with ice cream, yogurt and other unnatural ingredients, but Nekter focuses on health and high quality. The drinks and bowls are reasonably priced, and you have to love their “buy-10 get-1-free” punch cards!
