I randomly stopped here because I wanted a good smoothie. I’m not personally crazy into those health smoothie places with a million concoctions of powders mixed in a smoothie for your health. I prefer something more simple. I noticed this place seemed like a perfect in between including some protein powder or collagen but nothing I couldn’t personally easily understand.
As I walked in there was a nice atmosphere with music in a bright space. They were very nice and answered lots of questions, I patiently waited and looked at the juiced they have in bottles and Yuca crackers as the woman in from of me asked the man at the front a bunch of questions about the choices. He was very knowledgeable and answered some questions/concerns I had. A drink I was interested in had hemp powder and I have personally baked with hemp powder and drank coffee with hemp milk. Neither tasted very good so I was hesitant. But he explained to me that I wouldn’t taste anything weird from it unless I got something with both in it. Which they don’t offer on their menu unless you add something to an existing drink. I decided to get something different though because I was interested in the collagen.
I got a Thai coconut shake which was blended coconut and was an interesting thick texture that tasted like scraping the inside of a coconut after drinking it. It was great. I got the Yuca crackers where were really yummy. And then I got Maui Wowie Smoothie. It was definitely a more liquidy smoothie, I wish it was a tiny bit thicker but I still really enjoyed it. I’m not sure I tasted mango in it but it could have been taken over by the other flavors.
I really enjoyed this place, I’m not necessarily focused on doing cleanses or stuff like that but sometimes I want a smoothie or a nice juice and I’ll definitely be coming back...
Read moreHI-VIBE Superfood Juicery is a wonderful new addition to Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. As the Windy City loves its green juices and smoothies, this spot has quickly become a go-to for locals hoping to energize their day with a nutritious pick-me-up.
With an airy, light-filled space, HI-VIBE transports you from the hustle of busy North Ashland Avenue into a calm oasis focused on wellness. Bowls, juices, and smoothies feature loads of fresh, organic veggies and herbs sourced from Chicagoland farms. My favorite is the Morning Glory blend with coconut water, cucumber, mint and spinach - it's the perfect invigorating beverage to help combat those frigid Chi winter days!
Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the various health benefits of ingredients. A bonus is that many drinks can be made dairy-free, gluten-free or both to accommodate different dietary needs. Prices are reasonable considering the quality ingredients. Wifi is available for remote workers grabbing a drink between meetings downtown.

Whether you're a resident of this funky neighborhood or just visiting The Second City, this is the spot to unwind with a rejuvenating juice or smoothie and feel good about fueling your body.

Read moreI really can’t say enough good things about this place. I have been coming here for years, and for good reason. Only the highest quality ingredients, and everything is delicious. The staff is super knowledgeable, and it is obvious the amount of research the owners put into their menu - It is constantly evolving with the latest and greatest in health goodness. This place is worth every penny. The cleanses are second to none, and they have an AIP FRIENDLY CLEANSE and products. (If you know about AIP, you know how hard it is to find AIP-friendly anything). I’ve done the cleanse several times when I’m having an autoimmune flare up and it is life changing for people with chronic inflammation. Oh and you’re supporting a family-owned business. And they deliver to the suburbs! Wonderful service all around. I highly recommend the matchas (any flavor), kill shots, Chaga tea (by the gallon) with a side of elderberry syrup, coconut shakes, CBD oil… literally anything you can get your hands on from this...
