I was passing through the Carlsbad Mall area and realized that there was a new Health Shop that recently opened up named Pure Green.
Pure Green is a franchise that is pretty small for California and there's only a handful of locations, with the nearest in Oakland & Thousand Oaks.
Although I'm not a big fan of franchises, I can get behind Pure Green because they are health oriented and they are known for their smoothies, juices and acai bowls. They also carry a small selection of delicious toasts and fiber-rich oat bowls.
Now that I've been making a more conscious effort to lose fat weight, gain muscle mass, have an active lifestyle and eat better, I might as well consume more vegetables & fruits in liquid form. Pure Green is perfect for this goal because they specialize in smoothies & cold-pressed juices.
Pure Green is conveniently located on the west side of Carlsbad Mall, on a building strip that has ample parking and easy access to Marron Rd traffic light and right back on the 78 Hwy or El Camino Real.
Interestingly enough, they are also surrounded nearby with a fitness center, a yoga, stretch, Pilates, spa, salon and other health-oriented businesses. Which makes this location perfect for those on a fitness journey and wants everything in one place.
The first thing that you'll notice about this place is their super-cute grounded interior design! Although it's not very spacious, it's great to sit down and relax on their "floating seats" or just use a table to do some remote work on your laptop. It gives a sort of peaceful, modern - earthy vibe.
They even have Free WiFi & power outlets available!
Their bathroom was cozy & super clean too!
Service was friendly, fast & attentive. They were patient with me and my inquiries and helped me find the flavors I was looking for.
When it comes to smoothies, the flavor variations seem endless! They base flavors such as piña colada, multi-berry, peanut butter & banana, coffee, chocolate cocoa, tropical fruit and all-greens flavors.
Then, you can customize to mix & add any boosters to give you additional flavoring, or collagen for joint & skin health or protein for muscle support.
So, I was able to drink with purpose! I concocted a flavor blend that was not only healthy, but tasted fantastic! If you're brave enough, try a PURE POWER, add chocolate hazelnut & a shot of cold-brew coffee to it 😉 20 grams of protein never tastes so good and I was ready for the gym!
I also like that they have ready-made cold-pressed juices in containers for fasted consumption. There seems to be a flavor for every purpose! Whether it's gym recovery, antioxidants, hangover recovery or anti-inflammatory, there's a juice for it!
After I spoke to the owner, Ang, I could better appreciate this woman-owned business and I will definitely be returning for my pre-work smoothie.
Overall, I really like Pure Green in Carlsbad, and while it may be a hidden gem, I'm hoping that others consider adding this establishment to their health journey,...
