Goood golly. These juices are TASTY!…read more Hidden in Regent Arcade, right where the old cinema entrance is, Juice Lovers is a recent discovery for me, but I think it'll quickly become a favourite. The offerings are entirely vegan, and mostly organic, locally sourced, and raw. Each of these elements is clearly labelled on the juice menu, which I think is fabulous as it means not every single ingredient needs to be organic at all times, but they are transparent about which are for those that are trying to live organic. It's a little pricey, with smoothies around $8 or so... but I guess that's the price you pay... plus the servings are super generous. Overall, I'm a fan!

Unfortunately I've never been game enough to be one of those "Green Smoothie" health nuts. Savoury and sweets go together in the way you eat dinner and then dessert - and even then sometimes that's taking it too far. Well Raw Thirst I don't know if you're a cult but somehow you have converted me for your RAW Alkalizer juice. Who would have thunk it? Apple, Pear, Celery, Avocado, Banana and Spinach make for a damn fine refreshing juice! And if you're not convinced these guys will always have tasters available on their counter for you to try and decide whether you can handle a bit of the mean greens in your juice. Raw Thirst makes the most of the food truck revolution in a positive way. Bringing no additives, no yoghurt, no ice cream, just juice - RAW juice to the people. How can just fruit and veg blended together be so good? Because it comes from a van? I don't know but get it in you! These guys don't do a bad coffee either but really their star of the show is their juices - morning and afternoon. Rumour has it there are some food items coming but so far they have well-placed themselves next to La Cantina and Burger Theory so that after gorging on the good but not really "good for you" food you fake "detox" yourself with one of their juices! PS - If you have a thing for guys with British accents (not like I do or anything) the guy serving at Raw Thirst is a bit of a UK cutie (ssshhh don't tell!)

I'm usually at TAFE when Raw Thirst are in the CBD, but on the occasions that I am around I hunt…read morethem down. They're a bit like Boost, they do smoothies, juices, etc. But they're a bit different, because instead of all of those unknown froyos and sorbets (there's actually a sorbet flavoured sorbet at Boost that is just 'neutral') Raw Thirst just use delicious fruits and veggies. There are plenty of different juices & smoothies, and if you're one who can't handle drinking your veg, don't worry. There are lots which are fruit only too. They hang around the usual food truck haunts, which means you can sometimes grab a drink from here while enjoying a burger or taco from another food truck. They also do coffees, and all round ar a pretty swish 'drink' truck. Personally I'm currently a fan of their brekkie smoothie, and the alkalizer smoothie. There's something about the alkalizer being so green and supposedly healthy, just it just makes you feel good. ;)

There are quite a few sweet choices on their big green menu. -I walk to the front counter. -It is hands down the best mango smoothie ever tasted. -Despite the fact that this is my first time here...the employee who served me looked happy to see me....and even kindly told me the top 3 popular drinks of the store ('cos I asked), which were: Mango smoothie, Mixed berry smoothie, followed by the Watermelon crush. I'll definitely coming back here for my smoothies! Their mango smoothie (made out of mango, mango sorbet, water, ice) is SO DAMN GOOD! YEAH! If you don't believe me, try it yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Cold press juice is sooo 2014. This year it's all about Mylk. "Huh?" you say? We're talking nut and…read moreseed milks here people. Not just almond, but cashew, sunflower and peanut varieties too! How does a carob and black tahini mylk sound? Or a spiced almond and cashew milk with the added super powers of cacao and maca (who cares what the health properties are, it's damn delicious!) Juice Bureau is run by the Argo crew up the road, and they seem to know what they're doing. Their trendy and tiny little shop has a flower ceiling and good looking healthy staff who can tell you the ins and outs of each of their nut mylks, and juices. There's dozens of styles to choose from, but I was particularly impressed that they have a number of sugar free options, including some sweetened with rice malt syrup rather than the usual dates, which isn't so great for people like me who try and avoid fruit sugar as much as possible. The packaging is stylish and you can try loads of flavours before deciding on your choice. They'll also organise a one day juice cleanse package if you're feeling like you need to rid your body of the evils of too much booze and rich food. Or, you know, if you just want to feel extra virtuous by sucking down green juice six times a day.

Well, well, well! This was a nice surprise. This cold pressed juice coming to you from Argo and…read morewill give Pressed Juices a good run for their money. A delightful little store nestled amongst the busy Parade shopping district; Juice Bureau offers a great selection of cold pressed juices. Cold pressed juices are really amazing and so much more flavoursome than other kinds. They are reviving and if you are going for the greener kind, are giving your body what it needs in minerals and vitamins. The selection at this store is quite wide. Check out their menu to see what will soon be sold in this store. They are fairly new and are testing their series, but I see growth here, especially as a local producer. My favourite in this store by far has to be the Cherry Ripe. Fresh black cherries, cacao, almond milk & dates. In fact, I rather have this version than the bar kind! The store is decorated with a vast arrangement of flowers on the ceiling, just making it feel warm and inviting. You kind of want to just hang out in it for an hour or two trying all of the varieties of juices. But alas, the store is too small. I look forward to see their range and client base grow. This is a winner Argo!

I was very relieved to hear this as I am very attentive to my health and diet and it is rare I find clean food on the go. The nut butter used was amazing and generally the serving of the chia seeds, goji berries and pistachios on top of the bowl was extremely generous. I was super pleased overall and on a side note would like to suggest the brand try introducing more protein bowls perhaps using their gourmet protein powders! Definitely will be coming back to try their protein pancakes xx

22/122011 I know…read moresome people may be wondering why I'm doing a review on a juice bar, but I honestly think this is a good one to introduce to the out-of-towners visiting Adelaide CBD for the first time. One of the things that was missing in Adelaide 12 years ago were not restaurants, but somewhere to stop by to get cool refreshing drinks during your lunch break - I was pleasantly surprised when one of my best friends started regularly bringing me to Boost Juice..and we walked away satisfied. Thus - high praise to the one who thought of starting the first Boost Juice in Adelaide. My juice needed that boost. Their drinks menu is pretty easy to read and choose from: you can select one drink out of seven possible options: Juices (what kinda store would this be if it's name didn't include it's product!), Low-fat smoothies, Super smoothies, Skinny smoothies, Crushes, Wheatgrass, and Boosters. I always die for anything that has mango in it, so my eyes directly target their Mango Magic low-fat smoothie, which contains mango, fresh banana, mango nectar, TD4 low-fat vanilla yoghurt & ice . I even sometimes change it up to their 'Passion Mango'...but my best friend always seems to go for his own, and I do believe that there is a flavour for everyone here. With Adelaide's weather sometimes getting unpredictably hot, I will drink fluids like there's no tomorrow - so I was exceptionally pleased to be introduced to this juice bar. And there's the best toilets in Rundle Mall, it's only a quick walk past the David Jones Food Court to the left of the Boost juice bar :) 4 stars everytime! The only reason I won't give this a 5-star is because they have the usual Subway-like assembly line quick service, but that's expected from a busy juice bar like this one - I'll definitely go back on a hot summer afternoon!

If you love places like nutrition republic, or the organik store you will love this little super charged store! A very small menu and only one seat near the window means Bom Dia does not have a cafe vibe. They specialize in raw desserts, smoothies and acai bowls and will likely serve as take aways. Acai is a super food berry, and essentially the bowls are these berries in a gelati - sorbet - type form with fresh fruit, honey and varying condiments (usually granola and banana in particular). Overseas (eg Hawaii) people usually have this as a brekky but here you are able to have these delicious treats at any time of day, even as a dessert! The staff are super friendly here. Its a bit pricey but you won't find bowls like this anywhere else in adelaide..although the trend is starting to take off! The raw desserts are also worth checking out, as well as the pressed juice shots!
