I can't afford to eat lunch the day I get Juice or Smoothie here.
For a small sized basic smoothie, they charge 8 bucks. You can easily get the same quality or the better ones for under $5 from places that are not labelled Elixir.
However, even though this place is outrageously expensive, I am still giving it a 3.5 star cause the staffs are nice, the quality of their food is descent, they have cheaper Hale and Hearthy soups, they have less caloried salads and sandwiches and they have daily special smoothies for 5 bucks.
Some of the best healthy drinks I've ever experienced in my life. They had this one with lemongrass, some lemon flavor some other stuff. Duddde phenomenal! Just phenomenal. After that you take a short walk to the plaza for the Friday Night festivities. Probably the best refreshment while listening to some Brian Eno at the plaza.
If I were reviewing the smoothies, This place would be getting 4 or 5 stars. Cool, tasty, and satisfying smoothies are served up here, with a variety of choices and add-ins available. I believe they try to cater towards a healthier crowd, so you can pick from things like wheatgrass, protein, energy, and relaxation supplements. It seems like a bit of a marketing ploy in my opinion, but for those who want these things, they are available to be added to the good tasting drinks.
Now the bad. Things are way too pricy. The five dollar daily special is the only thing I can afford to order from here. Otherwise, smoothies start at 6 dollars and the price can skyrocket from there. They also sell healthy-ish lunch foods like wraps and salads, but these start at 8 bucks, and are generally smaller than something you could order from elsewhere.
Overall, not a bad place, especially if you take advantage of their "Buy 10, get 1 free" smoothie card, but the value of this place is a bit questionable.
Wanting a smoothie with a bit more umph (like yogurt), I came to the wrong place. They really only use juices and I'd rather they just use all fresh fruits in their smoothie. Asking the semi-unpleasant guy what would be most filling, he pointed me towards the peanut butter and jelly but the last time I had a smoothie like that I couldn't get it down. Shocking, I know, since I love peanut butter. But honestly, we can skip the jelly.
-Acai Smoothie (acai, banana, apple cider, blueberries): It just tastes like a mix of the four and like your average smoothie–nothing special.
FINAL VERDICT: $13 for a smoothie (I got a shot of wheat grass which was extra) but that's EXCESSIVE and for the way this tastes–uh no. Head to the smoothie carts all over the place: because it's fresher and cheaper.
this hot spot in the world financial center is one of the most expensive places for lunch and after almost 2 years, i decided to try this place
they have smoothie specials but its mostly some combination of OJ, pineapple, peaches, bananas, or some other fruit for $5, some of the more exotic fruits or something similar are not covered
they have other specials which includes a smoothie and soup for about $10 or a smoothie and salad for $12, this DOES NOT include the acai smoothie
they have many varieties of salads which satisfy people with all diets, including vegetarians and pescatarians
i had the salmon salad and it came with an egg and greens, not bad at all, not sure if i ever want to spend that much money for lunch, but all of the excitement is over after the first time
if you have the money and can afford it, come here, its pretty healthy

Pretty good juice/smoothie bar, but really hard to justify spending close to 10 bucks on a smoothie or a juice here

But a bit pricy though but worth it.
