With summer fast approaching and new season fruit and vegetables becoming accessible, many of us are thinking about ways to incorporate more fresh food into our diets.
A juice or smoothie is an easy way to pack in a lot of nutrition and is also a great choice on a hot day.
To make it easy for you to find a juice or smoothie on your next visit to Brighton, we have put together this handy list:
Pressed Juices
Discover a world of juices and smoothies at Pressed Juices in Brighton.
The store, located in Carpenter St, is as beautiful as its product range – the design is clean and minimal with a slightly rustic touch thanks to the wooden features and furnishings.
Their range of juices is extensive and includes a variety of green juices, citrus and fresh flavours from the zest range, and bold fruit flavours such as berries and orange in the Antiox and Berry Glow ranges.
Smoothies include flavours like banana salted caramel, spiced pear and blackberry, the smooth energy green smoothie and, one of our personal favourites, the red velvet.
Their selection of mylks offer a healthy milkshake alternative – go for the strawberry mylk, chocolate almond mylk or espresso almond mylk. Their plain almond mylk is also a top seller.
