The health and good-for-you mecca ROBEK’S satisfies appetites, cravings, and the ugh-ish nine-to-13 servings of fruits and vegetables we’re all supposed to eat every day. Think acai and wheatgrass shots, both of which are lauded by various gurus for curing cancer, hair loss, and general unwellness. However, Robek’s fruit, veggie, and protein-packed approach to the morning shake, afternoon smoothie, and vegan cookie is, thankfully, neither boring nor flora-like in taste. Case in point: the 800-lb. Gorilla Protein Shake (50 grams of protein), a health-confection with soy milk, peanut butter, bananas, chocolate, nonfat yogurt, and enough whey protein to . . . body build. The Gorilla is the-perfect-sandwich-meets-the-perfect-desert shake — you will not miss your bagel, your burger, or your sad, old burrito.
