Goodbye, Food Coma! The Best Detox Juices Around the World
Just the energy inspo you need on Black Friday
When it comes to Black Friday shopping, you need as much energy as you can get. Which can be hard when you’re still slowly emerging from that food coma from yesterday’s feast. Luckily, there’s something you can do to ensure your shopping stamina isn’t hindered–a fresh and delicious juice. Here are our favorite spots for detox juices around the world that are sure to put a pep in your step.
The Hive, Santa Monica
Cali has become synonymous with the word organic, so it’s no surprise that its top-rated juice spots like The Hive pride themselves on being all natural, all the time. The Hive is committed to packing every last drop of healthful goodness into your juice, so what you consume is less “healthy flavoured water” and more authentic, nutrient-rich juice. Our favorite thing to sip before a big day is “Buzz” — containing kale, pineapple, mint, and a host of other goodies. If you’re someone who needs solid food no matter what, The Hive’s build-your-own granola bowls make excellent company for your juice.

Flor de Michoacán, Tulum
Fruit is always tastier when you go to the source. Not that you needed another reason to get to trendy Tulum, which is filled with incredible local eateries. Flor de Michoacán is a charming little mom-and-pop roadside shop that has every tropical flavor of juice under the sun. They’re famous for their paletas (popsicles), but the aqua frescos are just as sweet–and exactly what you’re yearning for after an eating marathon. They’ll make any flavor combo your heart desires, but we like keeping it simple here; try the fresh watermelon juice, or watch them crack a coconut right in front of you and scrape every last bit into your cup. Your coconut water back at home will never be the same.

The Butcher’s Daughter, New York City
If California is synonymous with organic, New York City’s middle name is trendy. Juice bars and health stores line every borough; you can always get your vitamin fix after a serious session of soul cycling. The Butcher’s Daughter takes juicing to the next level, with several packages like “Get Clean”, where you fill yourself entirely with mega-nutritious liquids — the perfect option if you’re looking for a full-on cleanse. Otherwise, for a quick pick-me-up, go for the Goddess of Green” drink with cucumber, green apple, fennel, and blue green algae. Oh! And you can even pre-order your juice so it’s reach when you arrive… one place you’ll actually be able to skip the line in New York.

Tom’s Juice Bar, St. Barts
There’s something about being right beside the sea that makes you feel totally energized. Tom’s Juice Bar is perfectly in line with the natural energy you’ll feel from the island at their quaint little juice bar in Gustavia (they just moved from St. Jean beach.) The owners were inspired by the juice life while traveling in Australia when they discovered the Byron Bay Ginger Drink, so it only feels right to try their spinoff: ginger, orange tumeric and cayenne. But, if you want to treat yourself to something a little heartier, go for the orange, banana and mango smoothie—consider it the grown-up version of your childhood milkshake.
