It’s without a doubt that the era of the Acai bowl has bestowed itself upon us. Refresh your Instagram discover page and you’re likely to see a juice or smoothie of some kind on your feed. Plus, with school starting up again, you might feel *~inspired~* to rid your body of this week’s toxins.
With the juice trend sweeping the nation by storm, Philly is obviously included in the mix. Check out these five Philly juice spots:
1.) Ps and Co
Address: 1706 Locust St. Philadelphia, PA
Phone number: (215)-985-1706
Why eat here? Ps and Co is located right in the middle of Center City, so it’s super easy to get to. Featuring a cozy brick-wall interior with succulent plants and other simplistic decorative accents, Ps and Co is the perfect spot to do homework and fuel your mind with healthy meal and snack options.
Opt for: The Bowie – Instead of using acai as the base, this bowl features dragon fruit with banana, green apple, pear, and two toppings of your choice
2.) Stripp’d Juice
Address: 263 N 3rd St. Philadelphia, PA
Phone number: (267)-550-7877
Why eat here? Venture over to Stripp’d and choose from a combination of their juices, smoothies, and smoothie bowls. Sit down and enjoy your meal in a bright indoor atmosphere, or grab a seat in one of the shop’s comfy outdoor chairs (hint: that’s what I did).
What to order: Acai bowl with strawberry, banana, blueberries, granola, and 3 toppings of your choice
3.) Animo Juice
Address: 1701 Arch St. Philadelphia, PA
Phone number: (267)-519-0949

From juices to blended smoothies and frozen banana custard, you’ll be sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
