Superfood Bar

Craving something sweet and refreshing with a healthy dose of nutrients? Try the green avocado smoothie with mango, dates, coconut kefir citrus and green granola. If you're in the mood for a (healthy) shot, look for the super immune booster. 

Superfood Bar's current rating of 4.5 stars out of 14 reviews on Yelp indicates positive attention from users.
