Is it just me or have these past three months of 2022 flown by? I feel like I say that every year but dang, I think I slept through January, February, and most of March because I pretty much don’t remember anything. I am SO excited that we are officially in Spring because with that comes warmer weather, more sunlight, more time spent outside, and just all around better moods! Not to mention Springtime at the Fit Bar is next level because we transition out of our Fall and Winter flavors and into our Spring and Summer items.
Not only are we bringing back some seasonal favorites, we have over three NEW menu items that I can’t wait to share with you all. All of our new items, and our returning seasonal items are crafted with INTENT. We combine ingredients that not only create an insanely delicious flavor, but reward your body with benefits from all of the superfoods, leaving you feeling happy from the inside out! As the seasons change, so does produce and ingredients which is why we strive to source the best options and adapt accordingly. Berry season is one of my favorite parts about the weather becoming warmer and all the fun recipes we can experiment with.
Our popular seasonal items include the Summer Solstice, a delicious blend of mango, pineapple, and a touch of banana for a perfect tangy blend, combined with lemon, ginger, coconut water, and finished with homemade pitaya jam swirl. Our Valentine’s smoothie special that we keep around for months after because it is THAT good, is the Cupid’s Crush - my personal favorite because it reminds me of a Starburst. Made with pitaya, strawberries, pineapple, raspberries, and a hint of ginger for an immune boost, along with added plant protein to keep you satisfied for longer. I think the best part about these smoothies is that they are so hydrating which is perfect for warmer weather and summer days in the sun. Not to mention they are great post workout fuel. If you are looking for something a little more sweet and not as tart, our Spring Crush smoothie is similar to the others but includes blueberries and acai so it balances out the tartness of the lemon perfectly. Trust me, there is a seasonal option for everyone!
You didn’t think we could enter 2022 without new and improved menu items did you? We have to give the people what they want! I think what is great about Fit Bar and our mission is that we have a solid foundation meaning our products and menu items that we sell are perfected and consistent so that those that order the same few items every time they come, they know exactly what to expect. I know there is nothing worse than having a specific craving only to be disappointed with the outcome of the product. We take pride in our consistency and ability to deliver the best products every single day. Because we have a solid foundation and have extreme confidence in our current offerings, we are able to get creative and bring in new products whether they come and go as seasonal items, or make them permanent because you guys love them so much.
Let me introduce you to what could be my favorite menu item, bold statement I know.
A couple months ago we switched matcha brands, we chose one that had an extra immune boost from Chaga mushroom combined with organic ceremonial matcha powder. I already love matcha as a hot or iced drink in the mornings or for an afternoon pick me up, but adding it to smoothie? Next level! I’m not talking B.S. Starbucks blended matcha that is basically drinkable powdered sugar, our version is top notch and delicious. My favorite thing about matcha is how healing it is for the body, the benefits are unmatched plus the small amount of caffeine it carries gives you that extra boost without an afternoon crash. Our Mushroom Matcha smoothie is blended with bananas, hemp hearts for healthy fats, protein to keep you full, and coconut milk for a creamy finish. This creation is simple yet carries all the micronutrients your body needs and is a perfect breakfast, snack, or even dessert!
Our other two new creations happen to be perfect drinks to pair with just about anything, or even replace your typical morning coffee with if you need a change. Our HEALTH INSURANCE drink, served hot or iced is back with immune support and healing properties, similar to a tea made with soothing ingredients. Beet Lemonade Spritzers are a hot new item that I recommend getting your hands on before we sell out because these are going to be the perfect Summertime sippers. Raw beet powder, lemon juice, agave, and a hemp infused fruit tea all combined and served over ice come together to create the most refreshing drink. The hemp extract acts as a stress reliever while the pure beet powder boots energy and provides antioxidants. I don’t know about you but I would be running to Fit Bar for these new creations.
Spring is all about absorbing the much needed sunshine and transitioning out of cold weather, and our crew at Fit Bar is here to help make that transition much sweeter. Whether you are back for the return of your favorite seasonal smoothie, or you are looking to change it up with a new menu item, we have something for you! Come help us welcome Spring with open arms ☀
