There are countless popular and convenient drink franchises such as Starbucks or Scooters, which are easy and mindless to just drive through everyday. However, if you want to switch it up for something healthier or just go support a small business in Elkhorn, I would strongly recommend trying out Olde Towne Nutrition in downtown Elkhorn. I went there last weekend and I was extremely impressed by the quality of their drinks and the hospitality I received. It is only a few minutes drive from Elkhorn South and most areas in Elkhorn, so it is one hundred percent worth the visit, whether it is a quick stop before school or a quick pick-me-up after school.

 Olde Towne Nutrition’s goal when beginning their business was to create flavorful and enjoyable drinks that are still healthy and fuel your body. They state on their website, “One thing with our products is you are not giving up flavor for healthy.” I can definitely confirm this, as the drinks I tried were incredibly flavorful and delicious. There is a wide range of options for drinks, including teas, protein coffee, protein kool aid, and a variety of shakes. The teas have endless flavors ranging from blue sour patch kid and pink starburst to dragon fruit and citrus twist, and the shakes have even more flavors ranging from banana bread and cinnamon toast crunch to key lime pie and strawberry cheesecake. In total, there are 84 different flavors to choose from, which is considerably more than any other drink shop in the area.

Across their variety of different flavors, the drinks have 21 different vitamins and minerals incorporated into them. In addition, there are optional health benefits that you can add into your drink. The first option is a “beauty bomb”, which is an active probiotic to support your skin, hair, and nails. The second option is called “load it!” which enhances hydration and increases blood flow. The last optional addition is called “lift-off” which is the caffeine component available to add into any drink of your choice. I got to try three different teas on my visit which were Tigers Blood, Miami Vice, and Beach Bum. All three had an incredible taste and came in a large cup for only seven dollars per drink.

I also have to shout out the incredible hospitality I received when I stopped into Olde Towne Nutrition. The shop itself is super aesthetic and cute with a cozy environment and the girl working at the counter was super nice and talkative. They even have a nice couch if you want to lounge and enjoy your drink. They make the drinks right in front of you as well, so it is fun to see how your drink is made and what they put into it.

I would recommend Olde Towne Nutrition to anyone and everyone rather than the standard trip to Starbucks. They have a much larger range of flavors and drink options, you get more value for your money, it is much healthier than most other places, and you would be supporting a small business instead of a large corporation. I really hope you will consider trying Olde Towne Nutrition and you can visit their website and menu here: https://www.oldetownenutrition.net/.
