While summer might be peak smoothie season, you really can’t go wrong with the delicious, nutrient-dense beverage any time of year. Thankfully, Philly boasts a number of smoothie spots where you can get these on-the-go-friendly sips, so that you don’t have to worry about snagging all the ingredients and blending them yourself.

Aside from juices, blended bowls, and burritos, Ánimo is a great spot to swing by for a filling and healthy smoothie.

The smoothies are not only delicious, but they have punny names — “The Green Smile” and “West Side Smorey” — that are homages to Hollywood favorites.
