The knowledgeable staffers at Juice It Up! help customers to make healthy, delicious choices by blending fresh fruits and juices into refreshing beverages. More than 15 years since its founding, the juice chain has expanded to more than 100 locations, each staffed by employees dedicated to the shop’s healthy mission. Fruits, nonfat yogurt, and sherbets blend with unique ingredients such as chai yerba mate, fresh carrot juices, and green tea to make up specialty smoothies.

Customers seeking more solid sustenance can opt for bowls of organic omega 3-rich honey granola topped with açaí, bananas, and mangoes. Many locations welcome customers in with elements of West Coast–inspired decor such as California-mission-style windows, bright yellow and orange color schemes, and aspiring actors passing out headshots.
