A juice bar is an establishment that primarily serves prepared juice beverages such as freshly squeezed or extracted fruit juices, juice blends, fruit smoothies (a thick fruit drink, often iced), or other juices such as fresh wheat-grass juice. Sometimes other solid ingredients or nutritional supplements may be added as boosters, such as fresh bananas, eggs, nuts or nut butter, bodybuilding supplements, soy protein powder or others such as whey or hemp protein powders, wheat germ, or Spirulina (dietary supplement) or Chlorella. Also if less juice is used with these same ingredients drinks called health shakes may be produced. Juice bars share some of the characteristics of a coffeehouse, a soda fountain, a cafe, and a snack bar. Juice bars may be stand alone businesses in cities, or located at gyms, along commuter areas, near lunch time areas, at beaches, and at tourist attractions.
The juice bar business started to boom in the mid-90's thanks to an increasing demand for easy, tasty yet nutritious beverages and snacks for health-conscious consumers. Whether you're selling your own unique blends of fruit juices, adding vegetables and vitamins to the mix, or even selling solely organic juices, there are a number of different approaches to run a juice bar.
