READ THIS before you go here!! This place is advertising health, but every item is absolutely LOADED with added sugar. The açaí bowl tasted like liquid cotton candy and has no fresh fruit aside from banana topping. It was so soupy even before I put it in the car to go home. The packaging was difficult to open, so when I did it just spilled all over. It tasted so bad I had to throw it away. I have bowls all the time and honestly this was an insult to açaí bowls. Just because you see “protein” doesn’t make it healthy. Even the waffles, which look and sound great, have 10+ grams added sugar. If something has real fruit then that’s one thing, but adding sugars, powders, and syrup is terrible, especially when you are advertising healthy foods. I’m sure the drinks have just as much sugar too, judging from the flavor options.

Everything was great. The apple pie shake, donuts and Carmel macchiato. The only reason I did not give a 5 is that I was not aware that they used the herbalife powder for the drinks. Maybe I should have informed myself better before going. Otherwise, great.

It’s a very small hole in the wall that doesn’t have a lot of options on the menu (my kind of menu!). The gentleman that worked there was so nice and he came around the corner to help with any questions any of the customers had with the menu. I got the açaí bowl and substituted the coconut with cranberries. The açaí wasn’t well blended and if you’re a presentation person, that also wasn’t the best. Other than that it is a quaint little hole in the wall with kind ppl and a menu packed with protein!

Not actually health food. Everything is super sweet in a very fake way and made with powdered flavors instead of fresh fruits/veggies.
Dietary restrictions: I askef what was in one of the shakes and they couldn't tell me. That was a big red flag but I got it anyway and then felt very ill

A great little stop for a tasty, protein-rich snack after a good workout or a walk around Repplier Park. Their dedication to meeting dietary restrictions makes this a cool place for anyone on a gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, or low-FODMAP diet! Friendly service and they will definitely help you find something that meets your needs.
Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarian, most drinks are vegan but waffles have egg whites and some items have honey

This place is absolutely amazing and their products are soooo good, you can't even tell how healthy they are by the taste! Protein and no sugar never tasted so good!
Parking: There is only street parking but you can park on both sides of the street which makes for more parking.
Stopped by on my way to Los Angeles and fell in love with this place. The food was amazing and the service was great! Will be coming here every time from now on?

Protein Garden is a gem! Seriously, their birthday cake shake is like a party in your mouth, and don't even get me started on their protein waffle—it's a fluffy, protein-packed dream. The food is absolutely delicious. Whether you're into fitness or just love good eats, Protein Garden is where it's at. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

In celebration of National Coffee Break Day, January 20, this was my actual coffee break from jury duty last summer ☕I stumbled upon the menu for Protein Garden on my walking tour of downtown Banning, and the friendly owner came outside to chat. Google maps wouldn't let me upload my video of the spinning pinwheels so I've attached a pic of the sign, the cute interior, and the yummy and filling vanilla protein coffee that got me through the rest of my walk ?
