What it is: Born as a student project in Boston, Self. smoothie has grown into one of Bangkok’s coolest health-driven drink spots. The concept is simple but strong: every smoothie packs in over 300 grams of real fruit, with no sugar, no artificial sweeteners and no boxed juices. Bases can be customized with water, yoghurt or oat milk, depending on how creamy (or light) you want your drink. You’ll find branches at Central Westville, Emquartier, Emsphere, La Villa Ari, Siam Paragon, Silom Complex and True Digital Park. Prices start at B120-B180.
Why we love it: The drinks are designed with wellness in mind. You can expect fun names that make ordering a little more joyful, like ‘you look great today!’ (mango, orange and passionfruit) or ‘never let you go!’ (strawberry, banana and yoghurt). The green blends, like ‘greeny does matter!’ with kale and pineapple, are packed with vitamins but go down refreshingly easy. For something different, the rambutan smoothie with jelly is a standout. There are also ‘super natural slushies’ (the watermelon one is a hot-weather lifesaver).
Time Out tip: Go for ‘cholesterol police’ if you need a citrus slap to wake you up on a Bangkok afternoon or never let you go for that antioxidant-rich, deep purple glow-up.
