The Holistic Hack

There are many reasons why I love my job so much. The customers I encounter day to day, my coworkers and bosses that have become family over the years, and the delicious menu items I have access to everyday. But I would have to say the number one reason I have been so committed and the reason I look forward to going into the cafe every day, is the knowledge that I have gained about holistic health and nutrition over the last three and a half years. I had dipped my toes into the health and wellness world before I started at the Fit Br, but I truly have gained an incredible amount of knowledge regarding the topic of health and how to treat our bodies starting from the inside.

When I say holistic health and nutrition, I do mean the idea of sticking to whole foods and natural home remedies, but I also mean all of the supplements and companies out there that are taking that extra step to provide the cleanest ingredients, with the most benefits and healing properties. There are a lot of sketchy products in every store, pretty much everywhere you turn you are forced to question what the heck is in your food and products that you use daily. Nowadays is there really such a thing as “clean” eating or “clean” ingredients? My number one method about ingredients and product label reading is that if I can’t pronounce an ingredient, I probably shouldn’t buy it. But like I mentioned before, there are companies out there that make it their mission to keep the ingredients clean and create the cleanest products because they know just how bad the market can be.

At the Fit Bar, there is nothing on the shelves that we don’t trust to have the cleanest list of ingredients, meaning no sketchy chemicals, no copious amounts of refined sugar, no highly processed oils, NOTHING that we don’t feel confident about putting into our bodies. 

Since I am at the cafe five days a week, I have made my way through pretty much every single product that we carry. Come to think of it, there is nothing that I have not tried and I know all of my coworkers are making their supplement rounds too. The best part is that we have a product for EVERYONE, and I 100% mean that because we carry such a wide variety of items. I feel spoiled to be surrounded by an endless amount of holistic health knowledge in the cafe and I absolutely love being able to spread the knowledge to those that visit us throughout the week. Trying out all of the natural supplements is almost like a hobby, you choose a product, do some research, test it out, come to a conclusion, and then just like that you know everything about it! It’s like an assignment that I actually enjoy doing… mainly because it doesn’t involve any math☺

Just to give you a little insight into the supplement and wellness products we carry at Fit Bar, we range from products that improve sleep, products that provide natural energy, brain clarity and focus, immunity boosting, protein packed, stress relief, and countless others. Don’t get it twisted though, our freshly blended smoothies and acai bowls packed with WHOLE ingredients are the real superfoods, and the quality supplements that we sell are just an added bonus. We believe that whole food and real ingredients are the key to a healthy lifestyle, and introducing pure supplements and fun superfood additions to your diet are a bonus. The benefits you will feel by cleaning up your diet, creating an active lifestyle, and testing out daily supplements and vitamins, are unmatched. Fit Bar is your nutrient dealer where myself, my coworkers, and of course the creators of this amazing business spread our personal knowledge regarding health and wellness to those that are willing to listen. 

Stop by one of our cafes so we can spread some nutritious love!

The Fit Bar's Summer Rundown


I don’t even know where to begin when writing this particular blog because there is so much information to give you, I just want to spill it all at once! Not only is the summer season the busiest time at our cafes in terms of sales and traffic flow, there are so many more events and involvement that our crew and the community get to experience. Not to mention in the month of June we have Father’s Day, Juneteenth, and Summer Solstice to celebrate! I did mention this was going to be the official rundown of summer, so stay tuned because these are all going to be events that you’ll want to be a part of. 

For starters, I want to cover the importance of the federal holiday, Juneteenth and how Fit Bar is choosing to recognize such a historical holiday. For those of you unfamiliar with Juneteenth, it is a holiday made to represent African American culture and commemorate the official end of slavery in the United States. The emancipation of those enslaved should be recognized everyday, and June 19th is a specific day to bring awareness and remembrance because those historical moments should never go unnoticed. On the same day, June 19th, we also want to recognize Father’s Day and show our appreciation to those that raised us or those important male figures in our lives. And what better way to show them how much they mean to you than by bringing them into Fit Bar for a treat, along with 10% off of your purchase!? We are featuring a Father’s Day promo so you can use the code Pops10 for any online purchase on Sunday the 19th. We love any excuse to bring out a deal that represents our appreciation while providing a way for our customers to stay involved and celebrate their loved ones! 

I mentioned I had a lot of information to unload and I am not going to stop there, I have more discounts to give out and more updates to share. The official first day of summer is June 21st, also known as Summer Solstice which is the longest day out of the whole year and means the MOST SUNLIGHT we will have for another 365 days! I don’t know about you but I am definitely going to take advantage of that, and that starts with a seasonal smoothie from The Fit Bar. For our OG’s you might remember we feature a summer smoothie that we call, you guessed it… The Summer Solstice! Mango, pineapple, banana, lemon, coconut water, ginger, and pitaya jam, come together to make this tremendous and summery smoothie. It is lighter and so refreshing for any time of the day, pre or post workout, breakfast, a snack, it really is so versatile and definitely an item you do NOT want to miss out on. This smoothie will be on our menu all summer so don’t panic, but it is still only a featured item so it will not be around forever! Creating smoothies and combining flavors is so fun yet challenging, but I think everyone here at Fit Bar can agree that this flavor combo is TO DIE FOR! Don’t forget to order ahead through our website to avoid wait times and to ensure your order is executed to the best of our crews ability

Some new events happening in the next few weeks are ones that I have not mentioned before and honestly are new to me, so I am excited to dive deeper into them along with our supporters. On Saturday July 16th, our Fit Bar cafe in Renton will be hosting an event called Cultivating Connections through Community, from 5pm-8pm. This three hour event is welcome to all and will provide amazing local products, everything from mocktails, grab and go snacks, holistic health and wellness business, and much more. It is a way to spread the word of health and bring awareness to other local businesses that align with our mission here at Fit Bar. Although it is a month away, we wanted to spread the word as soon as possible since we are going to be featuring some amazing products. As the event gets closer, be on the lookout for another post that includes more in depth details and descriptions, along with vendor names, live music, and much more. We hope to see familiar faces along with fresh new faces that are itching for some community awareness and holistic love! Don’t forget to mark your calendars! 

If you have hung with me this far, I appreciate your interest in all the events and new exciting information that we have to share during the month of June. Last but not least on the Fit Bar rundown, we have our own version of Sunday Service that might be a little shocking to most (in the best way). This service is an opportunity to BREATHE, ADAPT, and RECOVER, in the hands of a mindset coach, that will guide you through a session to optimize recovery. A combination of heat therapy and cold immersions, supported by breathing protocols will leave you feeling better than ever, physically and mentally. This Holistic Fire and Ice session is beneficial for anyone whether you are familiar or not, and it is something I highly recommend scheduling for your next Sunday Funday. Space B.A.R. Wellness online 

(https://holisticfireandice.as.me/schedule.php/ ) has scheduling availability along with more information about their services and what they have to offer, so check them out to see what all the hype is about it! A discount code is also available for any first timers to use for 50% off of their first session. While scheduling online, use promo code; FirstSession to save some big bucks and get locked in for the next Sunday Service. 

I don’t know about you, but discussing all of these upcoming events has made me SO EXCITED for the next couple of weeks and the community involvement that awaits. Don’t forget about the great promos that Fit Bar will be offering this month that will save you some money, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments about these upcoming events.

Weekly Breakdown

Great news, our first day at the downtown Renton Farmers Market was a HUGE success! Not only did the weather show off for us, but the traffic flow was constant the whole day and we were able to spread our mission and delicious items throughout the community. It was so awesome to see all of the other local businesses out there mainly because most of them I had not known about. There was a variety of options, everything from food trucks, fresh produce, coffee beans, cookies, and even plants! Reliving last Tuesday makes me that much more EXCITED for the next market in a few days, and another opportunity to provide our immune boosting acaí bowls, famous waffle sammie, and a few new grab and go items.

Although it is unfortunate that we cannot offer our full menu at the market, it does give us the opportunity to let customers know about our cafe in Renton, which happens to be a block down from the market. Along with our cafe located in West Seattle, for those who may live a little more north. The items that we ARE offering though, happen to be our best sellers at both cafes and are products I believe will give you the most benefits with the most FLAVOR! Our Brazilian bowl (featured at the market) is made up of our regular acai base, topped with your choice of granola, along with freshly sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and unsweetened coconut. This bowl really brings a crowd because not only is it sweet and refreshing from the fruit, we don’t add any processed sugars. Our main priority is to receive the full benefits that the acai provides: antioxidants, vitamin C, and heart healthy fats. After all, it is a superfood! 

Our other market menu item happens to be a gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, and fully plant based waffle, but it doesn’t stop there! In between the waffle is a scoop of our acaí base, then topped with peanut butter, and finished with your choice of honey or agave. This Acaí Waffle Sammie is the perfect guilt free dessert or snack that you can take with you as you wander around the market, especially on those warmer days. Our booth happens to be sandwiched between a crepe booth, and a booth selling a variety of cookies that are as thick as hockey pucks. You can see that we have some competition, but I still think that our products are unmatched not only by the delicious flavors, but because of the fact that you are going to FEEL GOOD after you eat it. Although indulging in sweet treats like crepes and incredible cookies is good for the soul and okay to have on occasion, our products are created to taste like an indulgent while healing your body. So maybe it is a blessing to be surrounded by all of the sweet treats at the farmers market because it gives us a chance to inform those who are not familiar with our menu items, and hopefully attract lifelong customers! 

We will be back at Renton Farmers Market in four short days in case you weren’t able to stop by last week. I mentioned previously that we are going to be adding some grab and go items for more variety, and to provide all of you with more tasty and healing drinks if you do not have time to enjoy one of our bowls or waffles. In other EXCITING NEWS…. Both of our Fit Bar cafes will be extending our summer hours, which means those of you who don’t get off of work until later or are craving our items later in the day, we are here for you! Starting next week, our Renton and West Seattle cafes will be open 8am to 4:30pm, Monday through Thursday. We figured why not make the most of the extra Summer daylight while we have it?! Our crew is ready to provide you with all of the superfoods so let’s hope that June is ready to provide the sunshine!
