I’ve got 2 words for you my friend: cleanse and replenish. The simple act of cleansing your system and restoring vital elements to the body will keep you healthy and help retain that lovely glow you picked up this summer. So here’s a breakdown for how it works:

Cleanse- We might not be aware of it, but we’re constantly being exposed to environmental pollution, bacteria, and viruses that make there way into our bodies. If we don’t periodically cleanse, these foreign germs build up and dwindle our immune systems.

Fresh lemon juice, ginger, and cayenne pepper are great antioxidants. They stimulate blood circulation, which is crucial for removing excess toxins. Not to mention they’re loaded with anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. So whether you’re already feeling under the weather or you’re bulking up your immunity, these three ingredients will do the trick.

Replenish- Once the system is all cleared out, it’s time to replenish the body with oodles of love (and by love, I mean vitamins and minerals). Nutrient packed fruits and veggies such as pineapples, oranges, and celery hydrate the body and deliver the necessary vitamins and minerals for restoration. Best of all, these living foods stimulate cellular repair, which really comes in handy when you’re suffering from a bug.

Here’s the awesome bonus: Zoe Juice Bars fresh Super C Shot and Flu Fighter juices are made with these very ingredients! So the next time you plan on curling up with a cozy blanket and some Netflix, don’t forget to treat your self with these feel good immunity-boosting drinks. No assembly required.

Riding your bike to work can be an extremely rewarding experience, but many residents of Olympia are afraid to try it, or try it once and get turned off when something goes wrong. As a local business who believes in supporting environmentally-friendly practices, our

Being Prepared

Having the right equipment can make a world of difference when you’re depending on pedal power to get to work. Install a bracket or rack so that you don’t have to carry your stuff on your back. Make sure you’ve got at least two lights so that you’re visible to drivers behind and in front of you. Emergency rain gear is also a good idea (it is Washington, after all!), as is an easily accessible supply of water to drink while riding.

Learn The Route

If you’re riding to work for the first time on a Monday morning, trying to navigate unfamiliar streets and traffic patterns, you will almost certainly be frustrated and irritable by the time you make it in. Instead, do a trial ride on the weekend when traffic is better and you have the time you need to explore the best route. Take trails when possible to avoid busy streets, and look for opportunities to use side streets or cut through quiet neighborhoods. Carrying a map doesn’t hurt, either!

Fuel Up

Being prepared means more than simply having the right gear and knowing where you’re going. To meet the increased demands on your body, you will also need to make sure you’re getting plenty of rest and nutrition. Zoe Juice Bar can help on both counts. Save time in the morning by taking one of our smoothies along for the ride! That way you won’t have to get up even earlier to make breakfast. Our Olympia juice bar opens at 7:30 during the week, making it easy to drop by and pick one up before work. You can also buy a bunch of smoothies ahead of time, keeping them in your freezer until you’re ready to grab and go!

What’s the most valuable resource in the world? Some would say oil, others might make the case for money. But what about

The Nutrients You Need

Our smoothies are packed full of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that are essential to supply you with the energy you need to pursue the things you love to do. With so much goodness packed into every cup, it’s easy to keep working as you sip away! This is a great option for those who want to get the most productive time out of their evenings and weekends, because you don’t need to take time away to sit down and eat a traditional meal.

No Preparation

To say that Zoe Juice Bar is health-conscious would be an understatement. With our focus on juice blends and smoothies made from pure, raw,

Nutrient-Dense for a Multitude of Benefits

Kale is packed with an incredible amount of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, including an abundance of Vitamins A, K, and C that exceeds the recommended daily amount. Kale is also a great source of manganese, potassium, magnesium, copper, Vitamin B6, and calcium. For its relatively low calorie count, kale contains a high amount of protein and fiber. Benefits of including kale in your regular diet include reduced risk of heart disease and cancer, improved eyesight, and even support for weight loss. Simply put, kale is one of the healthiest foods around. So why aren’t more people eating it?

How to Eat Kale

As a member of the cabbage family, kale has a tendency to be rather tough in its raw form. This texture turns a lot of people off, which is unfortunate because with just a little preparation the toughness is not an issue. Kale can be softened by massaging the leaves, making it perfect for adding to salads. It can also be pressed or blended to give fruit juices and smoothies a tasty and healthy nutrient infusion. That’s what we love to do here at Zoe Juice bar, where we feature kale in an assortment of smoothies and fruit juices on our menu. Stop by our Olympia juice bar and smoothie shop today!

When you’re looking for a healthy and tasty infusion of vitamins and nutrients, you can always find a great variety of smoothies and cold-pressed juice here at Zoe Juice Bar

Carbohydrates

In recent years carbs have been viewed as something to avoid, with some fad diets leaving them out entirely. It’s important to understand that there are many different types of carbohydrates, and carbs in processed foods often take the form of refined sugars that are certainly not good for you. However, dietary fiber also falls under the carb umbrella, and naturally-occurring sugars like those found in our smoothies and juices are a great source of energy.

Protein

While also an excellent source of fuel for your body, protein is also an essential building block that your body uses to generate muscle tissue. Many people think that protein is found only in meat, and while it is true that meats do contain protein, so do many types of legumes, fruits, nuts, and vegetables. A deficiency of protein can lead to reduced energy levels and muscle deterioration, so make sure you’re getting lots of it!

Iron

Simply put, iron is a crucial element for normal, healthy body function. It is used to produce hemoglobin, the substance that delivers oxygen to all tissues and systems in our bodies via the circulation of blood. Because it’s found in many leafy greens, many of the green juices and smoothies offered in our Olympia juice bar feature spinach and/or kale are a great source of iron. View our menu for many delicious and nutritious sources of iron!
