The arrival of the sun, people sitting on terraces, and the return of drinks with friends, IT'S HERE: we can feel it, summer is approaching!!! And you know what summer means, right? Hot temperatures (yes, even in the North we get two months of it, and it's coming soon). No more hot coffees crowded under an umbrella and wrapped up in 3 sweaters. Now, it's time for refreshing icy smoothies and freshly squeezed juices! FINALLY!! But that doesn't mean you should rush for bad sugary industrial drinks. Luckily for you, Le Bonbon is here: the best of the best in Lille's smoothies is right here!

The Daily Juicery 

Ideal for those who have indulged in too much raclette during this way too long winter (we understand you!), The Daily Juicery makes a variety of different juices, super healthy but also super tasty! Cold-pressed in Lille with love, what more could we ask for! We drown in their choices: from the simple "orange carrot lemon" (A.C.E on their site) to the more elaborate "Gala Apple, Orange, Carrot, Raw Beet, Fresh Ginger, Lime" (ROOTS 1). Their packaging, simple yet effective, knows how to convince us.

The extra touch: their range of cleanses, a 1 to 3 day program to eliminate all the toxins from our bodies! (Be aware, it comes with a price, expect to pay 30 euros per day of cleanse!)

Yogurt Factory

Renowned for its frozen yogurt (as the name suggests), the Yogurt Factory offers to blend its famous ice cream with fresh fruits to make a smoothie! With 0% fat yogurt, why deprive yourself? Otherwise, there are the pre-made smoothies, and we go for it, just because they are named after famous couples. We hesitate between the Kate & Will, an exotic mix of mango, kiwi, and pineapple, or the Romeo & Juliet, with the taste of strawberry, mango, and ripe berries.

Extra bonus: they also make milkshakes with speculoos, kinder, and vanilla that make us drool just at the thought of it!

La bande à Basile

Hidden gem in the Old Lille, La Bande à Basile offers wraps, paninis, and waffles, as well as excellent smoothies. Only 3 choices, all based on apple and orange, with variations of red fruits, mango, and kiwis. Simple but prepared on site and above all very delicious!

The little extra: their freshly squeezed orange juice made to order.

Exki

Their motto: "To feed harmoniously with nature, cook seasonal products, promote plants and favor farmers who respect the planet" - everything we love! Here, you can delight in a Pina coco, with mint-pineapple and coconut milk, smoothies like pineapple-spinach shoots, Thai basil or simply pineapple-mint, super refreshing! We also love their juices and succumb to the fresh juice apple-strawberry-strawberry (because there are many strawberries) or banana-citrus.

Extra special touch: in the store, you choose your smoothie and then it's mixed right in front of your amazed eyes.

Oscar and Céleste

Ending this top list with this address made in Tourcoing. At Oscar and Céleste, they make a point of offering fresh, artisanal, environmentally friendly, fair trade, and nutritious juices. That's quite something! Here, the recipes are unusual and original, created only with seasonal products. Let yourself be tempted by the enchanting mix "cucumber ginger pear celery branch lime parsley spinach green pepper". Tip: to reduce waste, the juices are pressed in their workshop and bottled according to orders.

Extra tip: Camille, the dietitian, gives advice during the recipe making process for maximum flavor and balance!
