What’s Clean
Raw Juicing and Detox follows the Clean 15/Dirty Dozen guidelines. On the day of my review, I was happy to learn that spinach was the only non-organic produce in the house. The cold-pressed juices are organic, however, the nut milks and wraps are not. As always, ask for more specifics.
What’s Served
The bulk of the menu offers smoothies, smoothie bowls, and all organic cold-pressed juices. Beyond that, you’ll find wellness shots, vegan wraps, and several grab & go items. Not short in creativity, some of the menu choices that caught my attention were the Kale-ing Me Softly Wrap, a Wellness Shot named Not So Terrible Tonic, and the Hangover Helper Smoothie. However, the menu item that has put them on the map is their popular wrap called Not Your Mom’s Chicken Salad.
What I Ordered
I was deep into detox mode during my initial visit to Raw Juicing & Detox. As a result, I ordered the Mean Green Smoothie which was vibrant in taste, hearty and of good quality. I also sampled the “Not Your Mom’s Chicken Salad” made with Chickpeas. Wow…so delicious, and I have to say, I would prefer this vegan chicken salad over any other vegan or non-vegan chicken salad I’ve ever tasted. Seriously, it’s that good.
The Vibe
Raw Juicing and Detox is a small Juice Bar in the trendy neighborhood of Thornton Park. Indoor space is limited and therefore seating is not available inside. However, tables are provided along the sidewalk in front of the shop. Orders can be placed at the walk-up window or inside.
The Takeaway
Raw Juicing & Detox is a great little juice and smoothie shop. Don’t forget to try the Vegan Chicken Salad, you will be amazed! You can also find them at the Orlando Farmers’ Market around Lake Eola on Sundays between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm, Winter Garden Farmers’ Market Saturdays 9 am – 2 pm, and Winter Park Farmers’ Market Saturdays 7 am – 1 pm.
