Have you started your juice journey? With innumerable food recalls, over-processed fast foods, and skyrocketing restaurant prices it is time to be conscious consumers of fresh and filling foods that pour into us and our community. A great start would be to visit one of the two locations of Juiced! Juiced describes themselves as, “Raleigh’s #1 holistic herb and natural Smoothie and Juice Shop. We make our community healthier by serving raw, fresh and whole alternative ingredients every day!” From juice to sea moss, to other herbs and delicious treats, Juiced is a must-stop shop with two convenient locations on Rock Quarry Road past Southeast Raleigh High School on the left and Hill Street next to St Augustine’s University opposite White’s barbershop. My go-to smoothie is the Rise n Grind, but I also enjoy building my own.
Juiced is more than just fresh and refreshing food and drink, they are about a healthy lifestyle mentally and physically. You can participate in yoga, run club, and open mic nights on Thursday evenings. They even accommodate private events! The open mic nights are transformative experiences. On a Thursday night you’ll find established and up-and-coming DJs, local singers, rappers, poets, entrepreneurs, and everything in between sharing with the community in positive and uplifting ways. This vibe is what Raleigh needed and has been waiting for. A safe and healthy space to connect and build.
An important element to highlight about Juiced is the welcoming vibe. This family-owned and operated local business has truly cultivated a safe, fun, and encouraging space for everyone. From the soft and comfortable chairs to the wall of fame honoring frequent customers you can feel that the owners care for the community in all the ways that truly matter the most.
The last detail to emphasize is the quality. Juiced shared, “Our focus is to take our customers on a ‘Juiced Journey’, a lifestyle change powered by our devotion to healthy and nutritional products. At Juiced, our driving force is to remain at the center of our community’s health! For the customer, Juiced will become synonymous with a healthy lifestyle. We use raw fruit and vegetables always blended to order. We don’t mask our super-smoothies with sherbets, syrups & frozen yogurts, instead, we let the natural nutrient-dense ingredients blend into an invigorating drink. We will passionately serve the needs of our customers, continuously exceeding our customer’s expectations and courageously guiding our customers into a brave new world of better health. On each step of the way, Juiced will be a reminder that you are not on this journey alone.”
