The Protein Spot — Restaurant in Tacoma

I’m not sure about all these raving reviews but my friend and I stopped by to get a quick lunch (smoothie) and honestly for the price $10 per smoothie basically… it was not worth it. I got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch with no whip/pralines but omg it’s just straight protein powder “shake” that I make at home so I’m disappointed and my friend got the Mangonada that didn’t look anything like the picture shown and was also lacking in chamoy and tajhin (for $10 I think they should have more mango taste and chamoy).

The service was good he was very nice but I don’t think he knew what he was doing as I saw him reading recipes and if someone is getting trained shouldn’t someone be well… training him???? Instead of leaving him alone reading recipes to be able to make our drinks…

I am well aware of this place being a protein based spot hence why we went there for lunch not as a dessert place. What I am saying is that my shake tasted like a regular Vanilla protein shake I can make at home not a Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake (which said it has cinnamon as a ingredient did not taste any cinnamon at all)

For the Mangonada , on your Instagram and in the picture of your menu it looks very good and very mango esque, yet when we received our drink it was very pale and tasted like only ice and bland mango.

And please address the issue with leaving a trainee to make our drinks. He didn’t make enough for our Mangonada and instead of remaking it he put more water and more ice in a blender and reblended that and added it into...

We ordered the vanilla and blueberry açaí bowl, two protein crepes, and a pumpkin latte on DoorDash. Our dasher let us know that it would be a while because it seemed like nobody knew how to use the crepe maker. When the order finally arrived, there was only one protein crepe. I let my husband eat that and I made myself something else to eat. He said it was empty on the inside. They put some toppings on top, and literally just fold the crepe with no fruit or sauce or anything inside. My husband said the açaí bowl was ok, and the latte was good but he didn’t expect it to be cold. After reading other reviews, we won’t be ordering again. We have plenty of protein powder at home, and can throw that into the blender and into waffle mix ourselves. I want clean, healthy, fresh, whole food whenever possible, especially...

I found this place looking for something to quickly grab on my lunch break today. I got the #12 it’s like a captain crunch inspired smoothie. I paid $10. On their menu it says “healthy smoothie” I was expecting it to look like their pictures. And their brand is “healthy” alternative so I was expecting supplements and fresh fruit. It’s literally just ice, water and protein powder. Nothing else nothing more. Doesn’t taste bad. But doesn’t taste special. It’s an ordinary protein shake you can make at home. And didn’t look like the picture at all. I should’ve read the reviews before I decided to go here. I will say the lady behind the counter was very sweet. She was respectful and very kind. The inside is okay, it looks… unfinished. Won’t be coming back, but all the best...
