Friendly service. Healthy smoothies and bowls. Takes some time if ordering in store.
Ordering:
People are greeted with a friendly smile as they enter, as long as the staff isn't occupied with making an order.
Most orders appear to be to go. If you're looking to dine in, there are 6 window seats, 5 bench tables, and 2 tables in the middle.
It does take some time to make a smoothie bowl even when there is no one else there, a little over 5 minutes, so don't expect to be in and out unless you order ahead.
Food:
The acai bowl is good. The acai smoothie is sweet and slightly tart. The bananas and strawberries on top were fresh and ripe, although you only get about a single strawberry sliced up. Their granola is very crunchy. It has something crisped mixed in it that isn't in the description.
I've also tried the goji berry bowl, which was good too. The toppings are a nice variety and plentiful.
Dislike:
The super acai bowl was not a great experience for me. I personally recommend avoiding anything with whole goji berries, ones that aren't blended. The goji berries are unbelievably tough because they use dried goji berries that aren't presoaked. Goji berries are normally dried because they aren't easily available fresh. Less than half was crispy and a little hard, but the majority were really hard to comfortably bite into. If you do manage to bite into them, they then stick to your teeth when you bite into them.
Restroom:
There is a clean restroom to wash up in.
Parking:
There is free 2 hour parking all around on Washington St and other streets. This area doesn't have parking meters.
The protein punch bowl is interesting, very rich. I've had their salads, which are also very good and often prepared quite quickly. They use highly perfumed cleaning products, and that smell is distasteful, impacting their atmosphere. I never see anybody sitting in to eat.
I love this place. I always get salads. Their salads are big bowls of fresh vegetables, fruits, beans, and seeds. So delicious. Compare this to most other lunch places, where most of the food is just cheap stuff like dough or rice or potatoes. Energize is so much higher quality -- sooooo much better than your average lunch. I'd eat there every day if I could. Brighton and Newton are extremely lucky to have this place.
Simply put, my favorite take-out spot in all of greater Boston. I've been coming here 4-5 times a week basically since they've opened. My go-to order is the Super Nutrition (I add Camu Camu) but the salads, smoothie bowls and toasts are all awesome, too. Great location across from the Y so I can stop in post-workout!
Awesome local spot for delicious salads and bowls and smoothies! Highly recommend the Plant Power salad! Order ahead online to skip waiting!
Energize makes it easy to eat healthy! I saw they had online ordering via their app so I gave it a download. Quickly found what I was looking to order and went to checkout. Love how the app had Apple Pay as a payment option — I didn’t even have to take my credit card out. The smoothie I ordered (called ‘Happiness’) was perfect and the staff were friendly. I’ll be back since I have their app now!
Awesome place to create a custom plant-based lunch. Great fresh-squeezed oj.
We always drive by when they are just closing and we can see someone putting the chairs up on the tables, so we've come to call it the "chair putting up place," lol. Wish they were open longer hours.
Clean restroom. Friendly staff. Parking a little tricky in that area at times.
Such a refreshing smoothies and salad! Would definitely order again!
We were fans of the “super bowl” salad, super nutrition smoothie, and power-up smoothie.
Ordered on the energize app which was easy to use and food was ready to pickup when I arrived.
Great place to grab a smoothie or do brunch. Personally I think the acai bowl is one of the best in Boston! Staff are friendly and service is pretty quick.
I go here every week to meet my fruit and veggies requirement on the food pyramid lol, always get good food and service, makes eating healthy easy and taste good, definitely recommend.
Life alive is healthy and delicious. I enjoy the simplicity of their salads.
The staff are helpful and friendly. Items worth mentioning: Acai bowl, cashew cheesecake, green smoothie, and Nourishment salad bowl.
I genuinely wonder why there isn't MORE of these kind of smoothie/fresh/healthy food places in Boston? regardless, I'm incredibly lucky to have Energize so close to the gym I go to. My only gripe is that the food is slightly over priced... and then I remember that's literally EVERYTHING these days. Regardless, I'm happy to support a great place like Energize.
So delicious! Really generous portions and high quality ingredients. Service is quick and friendly.
Amazing salads and smoothies. Highly recommend, especially for those with dietary modifications 👍🏻
This is a dream spot for someone who cares about their health, food and good mood. Energize offers lots of options for organic, made from scratch smoothies, fruit and tasty protein bowls. Convenient location in Brighton Oak Square! Drive by and you will not regret. Delicious.

Great Service I order from Grub hub and picked up at the store. I Was worried about my order because I ordered online and I had never tried this place before. So I added a note to my online order with specifications about how I wanted my order. The gentelman that made my smoothie assured me that he had read my note and made sure that the smoothie was just the way I wanted so this was very accommodating. My smoothie came out great just the way I wanted. I will defiantly be coming back again! So if you're looking for a great smoothie place that serves healthy and organic smoothies with some vegan options, Then this place is for you.

I like this place! Gives me all "sweet green" vibes. It has a lot of healthy options and ability to customize your order to your preferences. I'm so happy with this healthier option available in the area. Recommend!
Great little place. I got the Friendship smoothie and it is so delicious! It's a great place to hang out for an while and they have some good energetic music playing.
Everything here is delicious and really fresh. The salads make me actually want to eat salad. The smoothies and smoothie bowls are both amazing. You can add protein and spinach, and they still taste great. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The app makes it super easy to order, and has calorie info on it.
Super busy work weeks had me frequently living off of Cheerios, cold pizza, and coffee. Now I get a protein smoothie with greens and a salad. I am seriously much healthier since moving near energize. It is a little pricey (and I go there way too much), but nothing is more valuable than your health (I tell myself as I order my seventh $13 salad of the week…). And you get what you pay for.
