Austin is all about the great outdoors and when it comes to sunshine, we have plenty to spare. After spending a day at Zilker Park, swimming in Barton Springs or kayaking Lady Bird Lake, cool down with a refreshing snack at one of our many fresh juice bars around town. Remember, vacation doesn’t have to be all about greasy foods; hydrate and cleanse with a healthy juice or smoothie! Here are some of our favorite places to find fresh-pressed juices and smoothies in Austin.
Alchemy Cafe
Located inside the Casa De Luz village, Alchemy serves up juices for those looking for internal healing or just a yummy treat. Each 16 oz. bottle of Alchemy juice contains two pounds of fresh, organic produce. Their therapeutic juices range from simple blends like spirulina, lemon and apple to more adventurous options like their Morning Tonic with apple cider vinegar, cayenne and butterfly pea powder.
Blenders and Bowls
This cheery shop focuses on Hawaiian-style açaí bowls, jammed with fresh fruits and clean energy boosters. Stop by the North Lamar location for beachy vibes and amplified healthy options like The Bowl of Paradise, featuring dragon fruit, gogi berries, hemp granola and more!
Jugo
Visit this vibey juice bar in the heart of downtown, sandwiched between the Driskill Hotel and the Firehouse Hostel and Lounge. Freshen up with the carrot, orange, garlic, lemon and turmeric juice or eat hearty with the spicy greens with miso dressing.
JuiceLand
No matter where you choose to spend your time in Austin, you can bet there’s a JuiceLand nearby to fulfill your juice cravings. In addition to tasty and innovative juices and smoothies, JuiceLand also specializes in grab-and-go vegan meals full of flavor and superfoods.
Peoples Pharmacy
In most cases you hope to not have to visit a pharmacy on your vacation... but a trip to Peoples is a different story. Choose from a large selection of raw, cold-pressed juices and bites to satisfy your hunger. When it's chilly outside, their homemade broths are packed with flavor and nutrients so you can sip on something hearty and warm.
Soup Peddler
Soup Peddler has several walk-up shops around town, perfect for mid-day breaks and families on the go. Go green with the Love Cleanse juice or the Tropicalia smoothie and don’t forget to quell that sweet tooth with the Super Baked Cookie!
Wonky Blends
Head south to The Thicket food truck park for some of the prettiest juices you've ever seen. Wonky Blend's juices, smoothies, bowls and brews are all fresh, made-to-order, cold pressed, raw and vegan. These inventive juices make wellness fun and delicious. The Blue Velvet is sweet and fruity, and looks like a dreamy blue sky in a cup. The Green Lightning isn't your typical green juice and is topped with colorful chia sprinkles!
