Kreation Juice Truck

I dont think the juice truck comes here anymore. Gave them a call, no answer. Came to the said address, there was no juice truck in sight.

I used to come to this juice truck on the daily when I was working in downtown. It’s located right next to the downtown Urth Caffe on 4^th street. My all time favorite here is the acai bowl BUT you should ask them if they have bananas for the acai bowl before you order because on multiple occasions they ran out and that’s my favorite part. They will add goji berries instead however. The chocolate lovers is also one of my favorite smoothies here, but it may be a bit too sweet to others. I’ve also tried their 3 day juice cleanse, they have different levels available and I did the intermediate. The green juices can taste a bit too healthy but it’ll leave you feeling good after and your skin will be glowing.

3 stars because I was expecting freshly made juice, but it’s all bottled =(. I’m just so in love with fresh beautiful juice that’s made right in front of my eyes. so I’ll just continue to spend my money at Whole Foods.
The juice was delicious and tasted much more fresh than I expected. But I won’t be returning unless I’m desperate for nourishment.
The major plus is that this truck parks next to a cross fit gym and 3 shirtless buff dudes were on the street working out while I enjoyed my drink.yum. And it’s next to Urth Cafee mmm…
3 stars for the bottled juice and 1 star for shirtless buff guys. gyeayuhh

Today I confirmed that Kreation is good but not that great in comparison to rival Juice Krafters. They could also work on their customer service. I. Visited the Beverly Hills store not too long ago and there was a stiff looking woman that wasn’t too friendly, asked what I wanted, charged, not a smile nor thanks. Never went back. Now visiting the truck here in LA I just realized I’ll take my hard earned money somewhere else.
Juices aren’t that good.

I purchased the living social deal for a juice cleanse for one day. After scheduling a pick-​up, I showed up and the truck was not there. I later called and they told me the truck had broken down. This was an inconvenience as I live 40 miles away, but I understand these things happen.
A couple months later I called during business hours, but a live person did not answer so I left a message. I did not receive a call back. I tried again a few days later, but the result was the same. I then sent an email to the Kreation headquarter, and received a response that the manager of the juice truck would contact me. This did not happen. I sent two follow up emails to the Kreation headquarters, but received no further responses.
On the expiration day of the living social voucher I again tried calling the juice truck. On my second try somebody answered, so I asked if I could schedule a pick-​up on the week-​end. She said no, it had to be the following day. I then contacted the manager of the Beverly Hills location (whose number was provided in the first and only email response from the Kreation headquarters), and she told me she would contact and have the juice truck manager call me. I received no call.
This is terrible customer service. The most disturbing part is that when I told the lady from the truck that I had left several messages, she told me that nobody responds to messages.
My voucher is now expired and I have requested a refund from living social.

Got a living social deal for their level 1 cleanse. It was a great deal! $ 25 for their level one cleanse (6juices + 2 waters)
Everyone was getting into this juice cleanse craze, so I decided to give it a shot! First I was a little bit skeptical about mixing veggies into a drink, however the first drink was pretty good!
Level One:
1. Green #1– Ginger, Lemon, Fennel, Mint, Apple, Cucumber, Romaine. Surprisingly easy to drink through.
2. Master Cleanse– Water. Agave, Lemon, Cayenne. This one burned because of the cayenne, i had to use the water as a chaser.
3. Trinity Twist– Lemon, Apple, Carrot, Beet
4. Power Protein– Vanilla, Date, Raw Almond. HANDS DOWN my favorite one! i will go to the truck just for this!
5. Unity 12-​Paresley, Spinach, Kale, Romaine, celery, cucumber, apple, lemon, carrot, beet, cayenne, ginger.
6. Peaceful– Mint, Apple, Pineapple. So refreshing.
7. Lavender Water– water with a hint of lavender.
8. Lemon Water– Not worth it. I originally wanted Aloe Vera, but they said they were only offering Lemon and Lavender water, which wasn’t stated on the living social deal. When we called in the order, they didn’t say no to the Aloe Vera Request.
I want to try the other drinks they offer!

The 5 stars is for their COCONUT Water!!!

Their cashew pressed nut mylk is delicious!

Why is that the truck makes their smoothies, but the Manhattan Beach store location doesn’t? hmmmm
So yea, I used to work in the Manhattan beach area and and would walk away from that location with 8 – 10 juices every week. They’re delicious, They’re nutritious, and they color code my fridge beautifully: D.
Now they have a truck! And located so close to me too! YAYAYAY. This review is for the Kreation truck as well as the Manhattan Beach and Beverly Hills location.
I prefer to drink my veggies, because as you may have noticed from my other reviews, I don’t really like salads. Kreation makes drinking veggies a pleasant experience for me, which is more than I can say for some other juiceries around town.
What I love the most about Kreation, is the fact that I know which juice to drink depending on my mood. They have the peaceful, the happy, the deStress, the Bliss etc… I don’t know if I“m just a sucker for advertising, or if it’s the powerful of the juice, but my mood always match the juice I pick!
Also, thank you Kreation for labeling which juices are «Good for Hangovers», because drinking your juice sure beats chowing down french fries the morning after.

I stopped here over the weekend. I am not a true «health» person, but I would love to be. I don’t enjoy eating vegetables, but can actually drink them. I heard about this truck, and decided to give it a try. I purchased the Greeen #2, Unity 12, Master Cleanse, and the Chlorophyll water. The bad news is that I tried the Master Cleanse, it was disgusting. It’s just not my thing, it tasted overly peppery (hope that’s a word). The good news is that I loved everything else. The Greeen #2 was my favorite, I couldn’t believe how yummy it was. I just finished the Unity 12, while not as tasty as the Greeen #2, it was still good. The chlorophyll water was great as well. I definitely plan to go back soon. So happy that this truck is around, most juicing places are in Beverly Hills or Santa Monica. This one is about 25 minutes closer, yay!!!

Healthy juices and made from this truck! Kreation was parked right by Urth Caffe when I saw it. I made my way over and they gave me some samples to try. The lemon one was delicious and so was the one with lots of greens. I ordered myself the protein power one for my workout. It was made with almond and vanilla. My only problem with this is that they don’t have an expiration date on the bottle. Nonetheless it’s meant to be drank fresh. For you juice lovers on a healthy kick. Kreation does the job.

I thought I hadn’t been out of L. A for all that long until I noticed a juice truck by my daily stomping grounds! I was over on South Hewitt street, I guess Kreation Organic has had the food truck over here for days now.
I was feeling slightly overwhelmed with the options since the juices are affordable, $ 6.95 each, and I was still surprised that the juice truck was even there haha
One of the people working in the truck came outside and gave me a sample tasting of:
Green #2 (lemon, apple, kale, cucumber, parsley, celery, spinach and romaine)
Green #3 which has no apple and more greens (kale x2, cucumber, parsley x2, celery, spinach x2 and romaine)
Bliss (cinnamon, apple, coconut)
Chia Seed from their Ageless Wonders menu (alkaline water, mint, apple, apple cider vinegar, agave and chia seed)
Master Cleanse juice (water, agave, lemon and cayenne)
The green juices are absolutely amazing, the color, vibrance and clean taste is wonderful. They use a Norwalk Press Juicer every morning to make their juices, and recommend that they are consumed in 3 days to have the optimum nutrients and health benefits. The Bliss Juice is simple, warming and is a great replacer for a latte, apple cider or any cooked comforting drink you may be craving with the chilly weather.
My only conflict with the menu is the use of agave, I wish more people were on the Coconut Nectar wagon with me!
I bought a Unity 12 (parsley, spinach, kale, romaine, celery, cucumber, apple, lemon, carrot, beet, cayenne and ginger) which was savory, sweet, spicy, insanely filling and cleansing. I could mostly taste the dark leafy greens, beet and cayenne. The cayenne and ginger aided me in taking fuller breaths and staying warm because even in Southern California is gets a bit cold!
For a fruity sweet treat I bought the deStress consisting of coconut, apple and strawberry. When I saw the juice I was in love, the soft pink smoothie looking drink was calling me haha. At first I tasted strawberries, followed by apple and the after taste is where the slight coconut flavor and coating in my mouth appears. This was a perfect afternoon sweet treat to keep me going.
In some of the smoothies here yogurt it used. It is not vegan yogurt, just a heads up! I found this to be slightly miss leading since on the truck is says vegan…
Best of luck to this business, I am positive it will only flourish! Downtown is expanding and as random as it may sound to some people raw vegan food and juices will do excellent here.

It’s a little ironic I was criticizing the Kreation [brain food] truck from the 24^th floor of my work building for a couple of weeks wondering why on earth would anyone open up a healthy, organic juice truck. My skepticism was on full alert because, quite frankly, if it ain’t food — it ain’t good. I’d pass it a few times in downtown LA financial district and my curiosity slowly began to peak. $ 7 for a juice? Pssh! Yeah right, buddy. Go scam somebody else. Then one day, one day!, I made the concerted effort to stop and see what they had after seeing a promotion on their one-​day cleanse. It was a hot muggy day and I was feeling a little fatty-​Patty so I’m all for cheating to shed a few pounds –especially before Labor Day. A simple question I asked about their pricey $ 50 cleanse turned into a long 10 minute conversation about their product. The Kreation ambassador was impressively knowledgeable and personable. I looked at my watch and then realize I had a meeting start in a few minutes and had to put my product back and not purchase anything that time.
Now my curiosity morphed into intrigue. I took a «Kleanse Quiz» found on the back of one of their pamphlets and failed miserably encouraging I go through the «Premium Detox». Wine is a fruit, isn’t it? It’s basically juiced grapes! I then started pointing out the Juice Truck to my co-​workers from the 24^th floor and now collectively gathering information about juicing. We had multiple conversations in a period of 2 days and how I wanted to cave into the so-​called juicing trend and make it a part of my lifestyle change even before trying it. Why am I so obsessed now? I started looking online for juicers thinking if I’m going to pay $ 7 for one drink, I might as well do it myself and invest in a juicer. After a period of a week and a half, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and went a little crazy buying 4 different types of juice and some kale chips. I started pouring samples for my co-​workers who were also curious and I recruited 2 to actually buy from them in the last couple of days. Kreation has now kreated me into a monster or as my friend said after a Facebook comment I put up, a «dirty hippy». It’s also a little humoring that just 2 seconds ago, I hear my co-​worker offering my boss her recently bought package of kale chips and then offering me some.
Next week we’re going to get «serious» about it and start using it as a replacement for at least one meal a day. If it weren’t for how great the customer service was with the added in-​depth knowledge, I probably would have been chowing down on a Philly cheese-​steak today. Their combinations are attractively versatile and the taste of drinking a pound of rich greens didn’t bother me either. I actually liked it. Today I almost cheated by trying to get my indulgent side kick to eat a candy bar with me. When we went for lunch, I replaced my craving with their chocolate smoothie that basically tastes like a banana split for about 250 calories. Umm, who am I? Have I really just written a 3 paragraph review on this stinking juice truck I was laughing at a week prior? Why do I feel bug-​eyed and ALERT? Maybe all the nutrients in the last couple days actually fed by brain into some sense. Sayonara, al-​al-​al-​al-​al-​alcohol!
To be continued.
Tips:
Smoothies: made to order
Compressed juice: pre-​packaged and bottled at 5am
Kale chips: have a mirror handy and check your teeth! It’s worse than spinach but oh-​so-​good.
