Portobello Juice Cafe
If you're wandering down Portobello Road and in need of liquid refreshment (yes, they even sell fruit-based cocktails too!), be sure to stop by this juice cafe for one of their natural pick-me-ups. As well as a wide range of juices and smoothies packed full of your five-a-day and the option to create your own with your favourite ingredients, there's a food menu of healthy breakfasts and salads and a yoga studio in the basement with classes run by Yoga Roots London.
We love The Classic with lots of added ginger.
Souli
Serving fresh, cafe-style food to eat in or take away, it doesn't mean there's a forfeit in quality at this popular Marylebone foodie spot. Alongside classic breakfast options and healthy light lunches, there are handcrafted juices made with a simple blend of fresh fruit and vegetables, which are designed to leave you feeling energized and ready for the day ahead.
We love the tangy taste of Lemon, Mint, Cucumber and Apple...
Joe & the Juice
With 7 stores in London to date from King's Road, to Clapham Junction, to as far afield as Watford, this Danish chain's juice bars pair their delicious drink offerings with cool, minimalist interiors. Perfect for when you're in need of a nutrient boost, you can be sure you'll leave feeling revitalised after one of their juices, energised after one of the natural protein-based shakes and super awake after one of their vegetable shots.
We love the passion fruit, pineapple and apple mix in Sports Juice!
Wholefoods
At the heart of Wholefoods' ethos is freshly made, high-quality food, which is why their dedicated raw organic juice bars are stocked throughout the day with mouth-watering smoothies and juices. As well as readymade vegetable and fruit-based recipes, you can also create your own. And there are shots too. But not the shots you're thinking of... Add some nutritional goodness to your drink in the form of wheatgrass, Manuka honey or lemon and ginger. Bottoms up!
