Summer in Los Angeles: Top Juice Spots

Open Source Organics (Rosie Acosta)

With the weather only getting hotter in Los Angeles, it’s all about staying hydrated and energized. Of course there are many ways of hydrating oneself, however when we are looking to keep our diet clean and healthy one must find the best spots. Los Angeles has a lot to offer; being a fitness hub… there is never a shortage of choices.

In the last few months there has been a surge of new high quality and wellness oriented juice spots. For me, it is important to go to places that offer only the freshest and if possible locally grown fruits and vegetables. In my search, I have found a few that have toped the charts.

These are the top Juice bars in Los Angeles to quench your thirst and give you a duly deserved energy boost.

1. ReJuice: Has just made itself a new home in Santa Monica. Not only does it offer locally grown fresh pressed juices but there is also a menu for vegan food. They supply slow/cold pressed juices and offer take home sizes in a 1-liter refillable/reusable glass bottle. They have perfected their menu by keeping it simple; they offer the basics in their purest most wholesome forms. The Green #2 was by far the best, for an added kick try the lemon, ginger and cayenne pepper shot. (3238 Pico Blvd Santa Monica, CA 90405)

2. Open Source Organics (Food Truck): Priding themselves on their use of living foods, most commonly referred to “raw foods”. Open Source Organics serves the most high naturally packed nutritious juices including their popular Apple pucker, Beet and Carrot, and Hot Apple. The menu also offers power boosts and superfood charged smoothies.
