I truly cannot believe that we are over four months into 2023… where has the time gone!? I know I will be saying the same thing next month, but this year has been flying by. Although the weather is still gloomy and cold most days, we have had a few beautiful days recently that have made me excited for Spring and Summer.
Fit Bar has had a great 2023 so far, we have launched some new products, held not one but TWO community events, and we have so much more in store. Our community events have been such a great opportunity to mingle with other small businesses in the area, and expose our community to delicious superfoods that nourish your bodies. Our first Cultivating Community event was actually last year where the founders introduced a new superfood drink and brought all of the vibes to the West Seattle area. KAVA is something that I have had to do my fair share of research to understand exactly what it is and all of the benefits that it carries. So far this year, our Renton Fit Bar has put on TWO Cultivating Community events to spread the word, and we are not stopping there. Before I get into all of our event details and tell you why you all need to attend, let me define Kava and explain to you why we have brought this new product into our cafes.
KAVA is a root that originates from the Pacific Islands, that is ground up to create a powder that can be used in just about anything. Although the taste is on the bitter side, we have created some recipes that compliment the original flavor while creating a drink that is enjoyable. As of right now a lot of people are unfamiliar with Kava, but there are a plethora of health benefits and we have made it our mission to educate others about this superfood.
Produce a feeling of relaxation
Elevate mood and enhance contentment
Alleviate muscle tension and soreness
Reduce stress and anxiety
The list above showcases just a few key benefits of Kava and why we are so excited about it, but I find it to be the most intriguing because of the heightened sense of EUPHORIA that you feel after consuming it. Unlike alcohol, Kava is not a depressant but in fact has the opposite effect and the feelings are almost instant. I think we can all agree that life in general is stressful and the challenges that come to light during our lives test us. So knowing that Kava is a natural source of mood enhancer and stress reducer, makes it that much more appealing to me.
My favorite way to consume Kava is a recipe that is currently unavailable in our cafes, BUT don’t fret, because it will be available very soon. A double serving of KAVA root, along with pineapple, orange juice, coconut milk, and dash of monk fruit, creates an insane mock tail recipe packed with loads of nutritional value and flavor. What IS on our current cafe menu at both of our locations is the KAVA LAVENDER LATTE, and trust me when I tell you that you need this in your life.

I hope after reading this blog you went from never having heard of the word Kava, to knowing a few benefits and wanting to try it. Fit Bar is your local nutrient dealer and we are so excited to be bringing to light this new superfood, in hopes to elevate mood and reduce some stress in the community. As if I haven’t unloaded enough information on you, RENTON FIT BAR CAFE will be hosting our Cultivating Community event the first Friday of every month. Live music, local vendors, delicious Kava mocktails, and much more will be available to everyone monthly. I have had the most amazing time at our last two events - with the help of the enhanced feeling of euphoria from Kava ;) - and I am so excited that I now have that to look forward to every month.
