Want to getbryour fruits and vegetables in, but don't want to sit down for a salad? We getbrit. We don't like venturing away from the pool, either. There's a solution forbrall you busy, summer-loving people: a healthy, ice-cold beverage from The JuicebrBar. The new store nestled inside Park Village is a one-stop-shop for a healthybrbite or sip this summer.
While therebrare certainly other purveyors of nutritious beverages in the area, The JuicebrBar is a little different; you can order a juice three ways. There's CreativebrJuice (raw produce is sent through a centrifugal juicer while you wait), bottledbrcold-pressed juice (fruits and veggies are ground and then pressed with one tobrtwo tons of pressure) and Fruice, an icy version of a pressed juice. (This onebrsounds like a treat when the temperature hits triple digits.)
Behind thebrscenes at The Juice Bar is Heidi Lane, a former chef. “I don't make a recipebrofficial until it's perfect,” says Lane. “My partner, Tom Hennings, and I bothbrcome from the food world, so we know how to make sure that everything you orderbris consistent and served quickly.”
Despite thebrdozens of colorful options, the process is simple. You grab a bottled juice, orbrwatch as all the fresh produce is juiced or blended in front of you. With funbrnames like Day Tripper (almond milk, raw cacao, dates and banana), PinkbrCadillac (grapefruit and mint) and We Got the Beet (carrot, apple, celery, beetbrand parsley), who wouldn't want to drink up? We opted for Skinny Greens, anbremerald concoction of cucumber, green apple, kale, spinach, lemon and ginger. Abrdash of cayenne added some nice spiciness.
For a buck orbrtwo extra, you can also add a shot or boost to your beverage. Consider it abrhealthy way to fine-tune your drink, whether you're looking to suppress yourbrappetite or jolt your energy. If you want to cleanse, The Juice Bar offersbrthree different options depending on how many juices you want (and how muchbryou're willing to spend). When you want to sink a spoon into something, try onebrof The Juice Bar's bowls: acai, pitaya or yogurt. Three new bowls are debutingbrthis summer, along with a new line of coffee drinks.
While $8 forbra juice (and $10 for a bowl) may feel like a splurge, keep in mind all thebrgoodness you get in return. You're simultaneously supercharging your healthbrwithout missing a moment this summer. We'll drink to that!
