Blu Blends has truly been the highlight of my summer! They’ve had a smoothie for every mood and I love that they aren’t made with ice as a filler. This has been my form of self care and out of the house time and I’ve enjoyed working through the menu. I’ve recently tried and enjoyed the Açaí bowls as well! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and really connect with the community. Thank you for giving our community something fresh, healthy, and happy to enjoy!
