MELU Juice and Health Bar serves up cold press juices, smoothies, nut mylks, detox water, oatmeal, chia puddings, salads and health bars.
They have a few varieties of salads, but they a vegan version of a classic pasta dish called Undercover Spaghetti and Meatball, which has zucchini noodles and vegan meatballs.
Cold press is a juicing method that extracts juice with no heat and minimum oxidization, preserving all nutrients. Each jar contains 2 -3 pounds of fresh fruits and veggies. All the juices were easy to drink compared to the other cold press juices out there in the market. Black Magic is completely black but it tastes like lemonade. Easy Green and The Hulk are good green juices I would recommend.
They also have freshly made health bars including raw, vegan, and/or gluten-free options.
Overall, pretty delicious treats and juices, but it is a tad expensive. They do use quality ingredients in all their juice and drinks, so its one reason why it’s so high.
