Best Breakfast Shakes in Rhode Island

One of my favorite places to get breakfast in Rhode Island is Nutrition Dynamix. It is a small nutrition shake store in Wakefield. At first when I tell people about Nutrition Dynamix they cringe with the word nutrition shake because that isn’t breakfast. But I always tell anyone not to knock them before you try them. Nutrition Dynamix uses Herbalife products like teas, aloes, and shake powder along with treats like pumpkin pie, chocolate chips, fruits, and coffees.

          The first time I went to Nutrition Dynamix was with my roommate, Patty, a nutrition major and an employee at Nutrition Dynamix. As you walk in it is a very friendly atmosphere with a bar in the center with barstool, except they don’t serve liquor, they serve breakfast shakes. I sat at one of the bar stools unsure of having a breakfast shake for the first time. Patty walked me through the process: first you order a tea (hot or cold) with a shot of aloe to help regulate your digestive system. The teas come in lemon, raspberry, peach and original. I even got my raspberry tea made lukewarm instead of piping hot or ice cold, just like I like it. Next is the shake part. There are dozens of different flavors and combinations to try from. I don’t remember my first shake flavor but I know my favorite two now after an embarrassingly high number of trips to Nutrition Dynamix would be Oatmeal Cookie and Pumpkin Mudslide. The shakes are made with Vanilla, Chocolate, Pumpkin, or Cookies and Cream bases with extra ingredients added. The shakes are so filling and look more like a Frappacino from Starbucks than a healthy meal replacement shake.

       I loved the shakes so much I bought the Herbalife powder to make my own shakes at home. I thought with buying the Herbalife shake powder I would stop going to Nutrition Dynamix but that did not happen. The Herbalife product is more of a community of Herbalife users. I love going to Nutrition Dynamix in the morning with the rest of my roommates and just relaxing in the morning before going to class with the rest of the morning goers that frequent the establishment. I urge everyone to try a nutrition club, which is what these places are called, at least once in their life. You will definitely be surprised to realize you might just be a breakfast shake person after all!
