Saratoga Juice Bar, a new entity on Broadway in Saratoga Springs, offers a variety of cold pressed juices, smoothies, sandwiches, salads and juice cleanses\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Christel and Colin MacLean, owners \nof two restaurants in Saratoga Springs — \nCircus Caf\u00e9, The Crown Grill — and Realty \nSaratoga, are expanding their business \nportfolio again with the opening of Saratoga \nJuice Bar at 382 Broadway in July.<\/p>\n
“Cold pressed juicing has been an evolving \ntrend for a couple of years now and has \nhit its stride in New York City with many \noperators opening multiple locations due \nto high demand,” said Christel. “Colin and \nI have been waiting for the perfect space \nto bring this trend to Saratoga and in June \nwe were happy to come across an available \nstorefront where The Chocolate Mill was \nformerly located.<\/p>\n
“We are so excited to be the first cold \npressed juice bar in Saratoga. Saratoga \nJuice Bar will allow everyone to have a \ngreat tasting and healthy drink or meal at \nany time of the day,” she said. <\/p>\n
Saratoga Juice Bar offers a variety of cold pressed juices, smoothies (with the option of adding supplements and\/or boosters), “grab and go” healthy sandwiches and salads, as well as juice cleanses.<\/p>\n
Chelsey Backus, who teaches yoga at Chelsey Yoga Everywhere and Saratoga Hot Yoga, was named the store manager of Saratoga Juice Bar.<\/p>\n
“I am very excited to be a part of this project because not only am I passionate about nutrition and maintaining a healthy body, but this is something Saratoga doesn’t have yet and I feel honored to help bring such a wonderful up and coming trend to my hometown,” said Backus.<\/p>\n
The MacLeans said they look forward to working with local farms including Kilpatrick Family Farm, a mainstay of the Saratoga Farmer’s Market for fresh fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n
“We have had a blast traveling all over Manhattan to gain inspiration and knowledge about juicing,” said Colin MacLean.<\/p>\n
During our trips we made friends with many successful juice bar owners, managers and staff that have given us great advice and ideas. We have also hired one of the top juicers to come to Saratoga while we prepare to open and train our staff.” According to the MacLeans, cold pressed juice is widely considered to be the most nutritionally complete juice, containing three to five times more vitamins, minerals, and enzymes than juice extracted any other way.<\/p>\n
Cold pressed juice extracts the juice hydraulically and not with a traditional centrifugal juicer which creates heat and significantly decreases the beneficial nutrients. Cold pressed juicing protects the enzymes and nutrients that are living in the juice.<\/p>\n
The owners said some benefits of drinking cold pressed juice on a regular basis are said to be balanced pH and sugar levels, clearer skin, weight loss, increased mental clarity, diminished aches and pains, better sleep patterns, and better liver function.<\/p>\n
The MacLeans have invested in state-of-the- art juicing equipment including the latest model of the Norwalk hydraulic press juicer.<\/p>\n
The Saratoga Juice Bar is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Its website is www.saratogajuicebar.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
