TheSouthShoreMagazine.com 47 Open since 2017, Smoosh Smoothie & Juice Bar in Pembroke has a variety of unique options aimed at making eating healthy easy for everyone. Smoosh uses all natural ingredients to provide nutrition on-the-go. Always selecting the highest quality and, when possible, locally sourced ingredients, Smoosh is focused on helping you live your best life deliciously. Owner-Operator Rachel Latta has a passion for clean eating and enjoys providing easy, healthy choices to the community that taste truly delicious. At Smoosh, you will only find real food and healthy ingredients, including fresh fruit and vegetables delivered daily from local farms. All the juices and energy shots in the cooler are made and bottled in-house! Offering cold-pressed juices, smoothies, protein shakes, energy shots and their signature "Smoosh Bowls," the menu focuses on healthy options which taste great, with no hidden ingredients and no artificial flavoring. This is real food, not just powders like you may find at chain stores. Latta and her team take calories into consideration as well, delivering you the most delicious options with the lowest calories possible. "Food is medicine and we believe fueling your body with healthy food should still taste great," explains Latta, who recognizes how busy schedules often stand in the way of eating healthy. At Smoosh, Latta and her team prepare convenient options for those who are on-the-go, helping customers stay healthy and naturally boost immunity. One of the most popular menu items is the Acai Smoosh Bowl, a smooth blend of antioxidant-packed organic acai berries, topped with fresh fruit and nut-free granola. The Green Monster protein shake, with its mix of plant-based protein, banana, mango, apple, spinach and kale will convert even the pickiest tastebuds into green drink lovers! Smoosh also offers an energy and immunity boosting juice cleanse. Their unique blend ensures your body has all the vitamins and minerals to make you feel your best. Combine any of your favorites with super food add-ons to maximize the positive effects of your food. Flax seeds, for example, are high in antioxidants, aiding in weight loss and healthy skin and nails. Matcha increases metabolism, detoxifies and helps enhance mood. Smoosh can even help cure your hangover with a charcoal add-on, which also helps with bloating and can reduce cholesterol. With so many options to choose from, you can create a custom, on-the-go drink with ingredients that address your personal needs. Since it is more important than ever for people to concentrate on improving health and immunity, examining and making adjustments to what you put into your body is a great place to start. As a small, local business, the employees and customers at Smoosh are neighbors and friends who care about each other and about supporting the community. Born and raised in Marshfield, Latta's vision for Smoosh extends beyond the walls of her Pembroke store: "It's not just about running a business," explains Latta. "I want to make an impact on our community." Latta does just that by supporting local youth sports, as well as charity walks and races. As a volunteer with Cops for Kids with Cancer for the last 16 years, Latta now pledges to use her own business to help others in the community however she can. "That's very important to us!" she explains proudly. Open Monday through Friday from 6am to 5pm, and weekends from 8am to 5pm. If you need some motivation to jump start your healthy eating and wellness plan, look no further than Smoosh Smoothie & Juice Bar to help you work toward your health goals, while keeping up with your schedule.
