La Juiceria

La Juiceria is a cold pressed juice bar and they have many outlets around KL.
I am a big fan of healthy eating and I decided to do a juice cleanse recently after feeling like I needed a break from food and get rid of any bloating.
The juice cleanse was easy, the juices are very flavourful and filling. Since then I often pick up a couple of juices when I’m in mid valley.
My favourites are the green juices and the almond and cashew mylks. I find the red juices far too sweet for me though, the beet aid is kind of gross.
It is expensive but really the juice tastes like its just been squeezed and you can tell you’re getting all your nutrients from it so I think its worth it.

Gone the unhealthy bubble tea era, came the coffee era (still on going) and here comes the healthy juice era! First we see bubble tea shop popping up like mushroom everywhere in almost every shop lot and every single mall there will be a few bubble tea shop. Then cafes. Cafes everywhere that it’s impossible to try all of them even if you’re an active café hopper. Now the juices are coming to raid the town!
La Juiceria is one of the few up coming juice place. Found out about this juice shop few months back when they first open for business. Back then I was still in my little ‘eat-​clean’ phase. So, healthy juice automatically catches my attention and of course their packaging and colorful juices. Well. Girls are always attracted to pretty stuff.
La Juiceria serve a huge variety of juices targeting different function such as to reenergize, detox, energy boosting, improve digestion and so on. Their juices are claimed to be better than the usual juices because they are cold pressed using Hurom slow juicer. I’ve tried their juices and find it quite refreshing. They even comes in shots that are vitamins and goodness packed.
Beside doing walk in business they also provide detox packages. Want to know more? Drop by and get them to explain it to you !

La Juiceria sells freshly cold-​pressed raw juices. These drinks are best drunk within 3 days from purchase. What I really like about this store is that they make it a priority to not add any form of preservatives in their drinks. Their aim is to cleanse the body. They have a variety of cleansing programs (2, 4, 6 or 10 days) where you replace your usual food with 6 bottles of La Juiceria a day. Each bottle is a different juice. one of my favorites is the Goodness Greenswhich has kale, spinach, apple, parsley, japanese cucumber and celery. It might sound really gross but it tastes so refreshing. I tried the 4 day cleanse and felt so refreshed and you could see it in my face because I just didn’t look so worn out. However, this place is really pricey but keep in mind that the end product is worth it.

No words or expressions could describe how I felt when Mid Valley had this juice bar. FINALLY, some healthy joints getting the nation’s health back on the right track rather than the conventional steak shacks and burger diners (Sorry, health fanatic here.)
A bottle would range between RM8-​RM15 or so depending on what would satisfy your inner green soul. They have a variety of green juices, beet smoothies and even detox aids, which happen to be my all-​time-​favorite. If you fancy something more decadent, try out their plant-​based milks made out of cashews or almonds. I highly recommend their Vanilla Cashew Mylk. It tastes just like whole milk, only without the cruelty. I mean, what better way of drinking milk from milking almonds/​cashews than milking cows?
I’d give this a ¹⁰⁄₁₀. They also have power smoothies, filled with superfoods (yes, superfoods).

La Juiceria is a shop that sells juice as the name suggests. They have a wide selection of juices beautifully displayed and sorted out by colour. Famous for their cold pressed juice, they aim to cleanse and detox your body.
They are very professional and serious about the juices that they serve. This experience came from ordering the juice. When I ordered, one of the new staff served me, and in the process of making the drink she didn’t managed to totally smash the frozen fruit before blending it and as a result she was ordered to dispose of the entire drink and remake a new one.
The juice tastes really healthy, like really. Maybe a little too healthy for my liking? As I’m used to drinking juices that are sweet. But that’s just me being unhealthy. So definitely a 4 star for their service and healthiness.

Confession:
I have fallen deeply into the abyss of the cold-​pressed juice culture hype with no sign of return.
Reasons:
1) Cold-​pressed juices are not heat-​pasteurized which protects the flavor, nutrients and enzymes of raw fruits & vegetables.
2) Pure natural goodness without the evil soldiers of additives or preservatives.
3) The amazing anti-​oxidants in the fruits & vegetables wonderfully helps our bodies to detoxify (let’s face it, our contaminated systems are constantly in need of a good cleanse & flush), slow down aging (please!!), boost energy and immunity, as well as fight cancer.
4) Very convenient and quick way to absorb these angels so they can work in our bodies necessarily.
5) Most of them taste pretty good! Trust me, I’ve tried most of the juices here already and there’s nothing crazy here. We’re safe. If something tastes ridiculously bitter and makes me wanna gag… sorry amigo. Bye-​bye. Oh, and if you absolutely can’t stand the spiciness of gingers, then maybe you wouldn’t enjoy the ones with ginger. I’m still friends with them though.
So, needless to say, I was more than glad to have found La Juiceria on the 3^rd floor of Midvalley Megamall, situated close to the GSC cinemas. Every time I catch a movie there, I can’t resist getting a quick cold-​pressed fix, which would cost me between RM11 to RM13 per bottle. I either enjoy it at their limited sitting area or I grab it to go.
And yeah, this means there are now two (2) La Juiceria detox bars in Midvalley Megamall! I can’t complain at all.

Being well known for their cold pressed juice, you can expect the fresher of the fresh juice here, except with the price label as well that come with it.
Rather expensive in comparison to other ordinary juices that’s sold in the supermarket, they treat their juice making process very serious here — so you can still taste the tinge in your juice. It’s not the traditional juice that gives you more fibre than juice, ya know?
Their staff here are very friendly as they will always call out to you when you walk pass — so that you’ll get attracted and then start craving for the freshness!
Also, their packaging here are very delicate. Special bottle design with cute label — so at least you feel like you’re getting what you’ve paid.
Do try out their orange juice here, still my favourite pick so far.

So it looks like I’m into yet another juicing fad once again and La Juiceria does the trick for me. They are not your ordinary juices as they are cold pressed raw juices which means that it’s much better than using your regular home blender.
La Juiceria also has detox cleanses which costs RM99 for a 1-​day cleans which concists of 6 juices. Being healthy ain’t cheap guys. A 10-​day juice cleanse (60 bottles) costs a whopping RM940! I guess I’ll stick to buying single bottles every now and then.

Juicing has been on the headlines of papers and magazines for a few months now. I find that cold pressed juicing which we have done for years and years at home has since employed a marketing strategist and rocketed to stardom in recent months.
From celebrities to socialites and from gym rats to couch potatoes, everyone seems to go juice crazy now. It’s all over Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Now it has come to a point where I ask myself are these people juicing out of peer pressure or are they really doing it for the health benefits? Both I guess.
La Juiceria is THE ultimate juice bar. The varieties of flavors are phenomenal. They even have several different ingredients that you wouldn’t normally juice together at home for example the flavor Tropical Green. It consists of Organic Kale, Organic Spinach, Pineapple, Apple, Ginger, and Lemon. Mind-​blown.
They also have juices that focus on different health benefits as well. They have the detoxing juices, the weight loss juices, the cleanse juices and of course, the normal juices for normal people like me. They also sell their mini cold press juicing machines, which are called the slow juicers.
This goes to show, you can turn even the most mundane of things into a successful business wit the right attitude, a never-​ending perseverance and true grit… a power juice doesn’t hurt either.
