Blitz Nutrition

Blitz Nutrition is a health-focused smoothie and acai spot on Gilbert Street in central Torquay, popular with the local fitness crowd. The interior is small, so dogs are welcome at the footpath seating out front, making it a handy stop after a walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are restricted to the front footpath benches rather than inside, which suits this small takeaway-style space. The venue is dog-aware and pups are a regular sight on its social feed, but bring your own water bowl rather than rely on one being out.

Good to know. The menu leans into smoothies, build-your-own acai bowls and high-protein, lower-calorie snacks, with a warm porridge bar in the colder months. It is a quick, casual stop rather than a sit-down meal.

Getting there. Find it around 3/12-14 Gilbert Street, near the main shopping strip. Street parking is available out front but fills on summer weekends.

Nearby with the dogs. The main Torquay surf beach and foreshore paths are a 5 to 10 minute walk downhill. Grab a smoothie, then head down for a stroll. Check council signage for current on-leash and off-leash beach times before letting your dog off the lead.

Best as a post-walk refuel on a warm day. Good for owners wanting something light with a settled dog beside them.
