The Goodlife Nutrition Center

If you are:
1.) VERY lazy
or
2.) VERY busy
or
3.) VERY rich
Then this is the place for you! They serve overpriced protein smoothies (protein powder + ice + flavored syrup + blender, add $ for actual fruit) that you can easily make at home if you are none of the above. Just to emphasize, It’s JUST PROTEIN POWDER, YO! Then they serve you three plastic containers of stuff to justify the pricing, two of which I am not interested it, so much single use plastic.
Don’t get me wrong, they are not bad, and comes with a shot of aloe (tastes good) and iced tea (also very good) but for the nutrition value, you can definitely spend that $ 10 somewhere else and get much more food/​nutrition. But if you are either of the above, then this place is probably very convenient for you. For me, I prioritize my food and nutrition so I can easily make something similar to what you get here for $ 10 at home for maybe $ 1. If you have a family it just does not seem practical to get the nutrition of half a meal for that price!
If the items were priced closer to like, $ 6 then this would be a 4 star review.

I am giving one star for their recent marketing campaign that rubbed me the wrong way. I live nearby and found a free-​smoothie voucher in my door while I was away at work. When I took time out of my day to visit the Good Life, I tried to use the voucher and the two girls working on Thursday, Feb. 4^th 11:30am said that, «It was only for first-​time customers.» I felt that the girls working the counter said this because they were enjoying chatting with each other more than making a «free» smoothie for a potential customer. There was nothing on the voucher that indicated the deal was only for first-​time customers. Although I have not purchased any smoothies in months, this may have been an opportunity to reengage with me and gain a repeat customer. I will not be returning.
Also, the smoothies are expensive and ineffective. You would be better served purchasing protein/​supplements from a GNC or online shop and making your own shakes and teas. Not only is this more economical, it will inevitably lead to a healthier lifestyle as well.

This place is awesome. So many choices and all of them different and delicious. The staff are always nice and helpful.

Don’t get me wrong, smoothies are delish but do not know why they charge $ 11. Yes you get a shot of aloe and tea but really I don’t need all that liquid.
I say $ 7.50 is the max I would pay for this and not feel ripped off.
Yes try it, it’s good, it’s nutritious I’m sure, but I can get a smoothie at whole foods across the street for less.

I used to go to the Venura location center every chance I could (and I lived 45 minutes away!). I moved to San Mateo and was thrilled to learn there was another location only 5 minutes away! The shakes are stellar as always and I was pleased to see some familiar friendly faces too! This place is simply the best and always has such a warm and welcoming environment!

I definitely recommend this place for a pre workout meal. How it works is you pay one price for a protein shake, iced tea, and aloe shot. In my opinion, the best combo is the mint chocolate chip shake with lemon iced tea. The employees are extremely friendly and energetic. I would definitely come back.

I discovered this place while walking from a spa appointment back to my work across the street. I’ve been thinking about having something for lunch that would be healthy and help me lose weight as I’ve gone a lot of weight these past few years and I’m having trouble fitting into most of my clothes now. What a find!
Steven was very helpful, informative and friendly. He explained that with I could choose between three packages (gold, platinum and diamond) and each one comes with an aloe vera shot (for digestion) and herbal tea (for energy, metabolism and weight loss). The aloe vera was refreshing and the raspberry hot tea (could also be cold) was smooth, not bitter and the perfect temperature to drink right away.
For the main shake, Steven recommended the chocolate peanut butter banana (platinum package) and I went with it as the platinum ones have fruit while the gold ones don’t (mostly shake versions of desserts). He said the shake was enough for a meal. The best part is that it’s non-​dairy as I’m allergic to dairy.
I’ll probably be coming back regularly and hopefully this will help with losing weight and keeping healthy. BTW, they’re on Facebook at:
