The Best Smoothie Bowls (On Oahu)
My entire family has always loved smoothies. But this last few months my husband has become obsessed with açaí and smoothie bowls. We decided it would be fun to go to several local establishments and test them out, compare them, and then for me to write this blog. This is just our opinion and I hope you find it helpful when looking for smoothies and/or bowls on Oahu.
Nalu Health Bar & Cafe: 3 locations on Oahu, Kailua, Haleiwa, Honolulu (Ward Center area). They offer fresh juices, smoothies, bowls, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and coffee. I love the vibe of these cafe, each are a little different. My husband's favorite açaí bowl is from Nalu: he does the Nalu bowl with added scoop of peanut butter.
Lanikai Juice: 6 locations on Oahu. Fresh juice, smoothies, and bowls. My favorite açaí bowl is the açaí extravaganza without the quinoa (I'm not a fan). We all love their smoothies, some family favorites are the strawberry shaka and the lanikai splash.
Sunrise Shack: 4 locations on Oahu, Sunset beach, Sharks cove, Waikiki, and Kailua (opened December 2021). This fun spot started by 4 surfers born and raised in Hawaii with the original focus on great coffee they have branched out to smoothies, açaí bowls, and a small food menu. I appreciate all the add on choices they have so that you can easily modify it to your tastes.
I love the fun and happy vibe that epitomizes Hawaii. This is the aloha spirit in action.
Haleiwa Bowls: 1 location in Haleiwa (North Shore). This fun little shack offers a wide variety of smoothies and bowls. There are lots of topping options so you can customize your order. I like the fun vibe and the location is amazing, right in Haleiwa town close to shops.
