Along with the continuation of COVID-19, the beginning of a new year often marks a fresh start to develop healthy habits and boost one’s immune system. Juicing, whether for a cleanse or to supplement your daily meals, can be a great way to zap your system with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. And smoothies have long been a great meal replacer for those unsure what to eat, but looking for something that will kick-start that brain power to get through the day.
Portland — with its populations of runners, outdoor sport nerds, and health-conscious produce lovers — is a city teaming with cafes, carts, and juice bars blending and squeezing drinks well-stocked with fruits and vegetables. If juicing at home is too much prep, work, and cleanup, one of these 10 killer juice and smoothie shops is sure to offer something satisfying and flavorful. Pretty much every place will let you customize your order, adding supplements and other ingredients for added flavor and nutritional value. For other healthy snacks and meals, check out this map.
