What’s the perfect pairing for that new gym membership and pocketful of New Year’s resolutions? How about a new hangout for healthy food? Hello Juice & Smoothie opened near The Grove in late summer, but its offerings are equally well suited to winter. The Acai Bowl, so far the best selling smoothie bowl, is made with three berries (açai, strawberry, blueberry), banana, and coconut water, and comes topped with locally owned Made Fare Co. granola and Bee Simple honey, more fresh fruit, and coconut shreds. Or order such cold-weather selections as Bolyard’s seasoned bone broth (shown with micro-greens, avocado, and shredded carrots) and “superfood elixirs” (e.g., a ginger latte with oat milk, herbs, and extracts). Other options include toasts, oatmeals, and a rotating juice of the week—and CBD oil can be added to one and all, boosting the shop’s appeal even higher.
