LAKEVIEW NUTRITION
8 1st Ave S Suite 100
Buffalo 763-219-3353
Owner Breanna Mros has been busy these last several months. A nurse by trade, she got married, renovated a store space and just opened Lakeview Nutrition a couple weeks back. We got to share in her ribbon cutting with a whole crew of family/friend supporters this past Saturday!
Breanna has been a distributor of the nutrition products for years and loved the way they made her feel. She wanted to share that healthy feeling with others, and made her dream of owning her own club a reality. Lakeview offers healthy breakfast and lunch options of nutritious shakes and energizing teas. They also do body transformations.
Besides the tasty drinks, they provide a fun and welcoming environment. She hopes to have events such as yoga nights, paint nights, fit camp and shake parties.
She invites anyone who wants a healthier lifestyle to stop in. Hours are currently Monday through Friday 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lakeview Nutrition is in the space previously held by Ritzy Replay right on 1st Avenue.

KEEPING YOU IN THE KNOW
Quick-link to the recent City of Buffalo public meetings:

Did you know that turkey was probably not the original meal at the first Thanksgiving in 1621? Historians say that Native Americans killed 5 deer as a gift for the colonists, meaning venison was probably the dish of the day! |
