The Core is a smoothie and tea bar at Madera Road and Royal Avenue in Simi Valley that serves healthy meal smoothies and energizing teas. I’ve been a few times, and Tricia and I stopped in to talk with Sam Craton.

What is The Core all about?

Sam told us their mission is to make a healthy, active lifestyle easy and enjoyable. Their meal smoothies and teas give you energy, vitamins, and nutrients so you feel good. There’s a little bar where you can sit, chat, and hang out.

What should you order at The Core?

  • Birthday cake smoothie: the number one flavor for years. It tastes like funfetti cake batter.
  • Cherry vanilla almond oatmeal: a popular breakfast pick.
  • Chocolate peanut butter banana or peanut butter cookie for peanut butter lovers.
  • Cafe latte almond mocha: what I had. It felt like a meal, gave me energy, and tasted great.
