Where to Find Health Smoothies and Fresh Juices in St. Louis

On a hot and steamy St. Louis summer day, an ice cold, refreshing beverage is crucial. If you’re looking for something more indulgent than water, yet still packed with nutrients, there are all several locally-owned cafes and shops that specialize in smoothies and fresh juices that taste good and are good for you.

Hello Juice and Smoothie

With locations in The Grove and Kirkwood, Hello Juice and Smoothie offers an abundance of fresh-made smoothies and juices to give you the boost you need. Garnished with cacao nibs, the Girls Who Lift smoothie features banana, vegan cacao protein, oats, almond butter, and coconut milk. Another must-try smoothie is the For The Hellth Of It, which includes banana, pineapple, maca, wheatgrass, ginger, spinach, and coconut milk. There are also smoothies sized appropriately for kids.

J+B Wellness

When they opened their cafe in Cottleville, Brittany and Jacob McDermott wanted to offer healthier options to folks on the go. Now with an additional location in Wildwood, the expansive menu ranges from nourishing bowls to refreshing beverages, including cold pressed juices and superfood smoothies. The Strawberry Bliss (strawberries, bananas, dates, water) is low in calories—only 180 in the 16-ounce serving—and packed with fresh, fruity flavor. The shop’s Grab N’ Go juices are great for a quick dose of nutrients. (5055 Hwy N., 636-244-0068; 16962 Manchester, 636-821-1198)
