Customers can enhance the nutritional value of their smoothies with Robeks Nutritional Boosts, which blend specific vitamins, minerals, herbs and proteins to achieve certain health goals such as increasing energy, burning fat or building muscle.

Robeks was one of the first stores to open in Plaza Bella in late 1996. The entire plaza is holding an anniversary celebration during the week of Nov. 28 to Dec. 3.  Daily raffles, special offers and grand prize drawings, including a gift basket valued at more than $500, are part of the festivities. 

Robeks will hold daily raffles, offering product samples and providing special offers all week. A live radio broadcast from Plaza Bella is planned for Saturday, Dec. 3. On Saturday, Dec. 10, Robeks will hold a special celebration, offering a BOGO on all smoothies for the entire day to honor the more than 150,000 customers it has served over the past five years.

Since opening the first Robeks store in 1996, the goal of the company is to make eating a healthy meal that is both quick and tasty for the whole family.
