Nekter Juice Bar’s healthy concoctions coming to The Ridge retail center in Elk Grove
Nekter Juice Bar is bringing its blend of health-conscious concoctions to Elk Grove.
Work continues on the new location at The Ridge shopping center, 7450 Elk Grove Blvd., at Elk Grove Boulevard and Bruceville Road. The soon-to-open Elk Grove site will join Nekter juice bars at 3700 Crocker Drive, Suite 160, and 1050 20th St., Suite 120, in Sacramento; and in Fair Oaks at 5442 Hazel Ave., Suite 502.
Southern California-based Nekter offers an array of six juices, seven smoothies, five acai bowls and healthy snacks along with grab-and-go juices and juice cleanses.
The brand touts itself as a juice bar that “makes drinking green juice an easy, but important, part of your day.”
A tour of the menu shows the variety on offer: acai bowls loaded with strawberry, blueberry, banana, pineapple and mango blended with housemade cashew milk and topped with hempseed granola and coconut flakes.
“Functional bowls” include the Immunity Bowl (dragon fruit, acerola cherry, strawberry, banana, agave, and housemade cashew milk topped with hempseed granola, strawberry, banana, and chia pudding);
The Protein Power Bowl is packed with vanilla protein, coconut flakes, strawberry, banana, cocoa nibs, and housemade cashew milk; and topped with peanut butter granola, strawberry, blueberry, peanut butter, banana, and a superfood blend.
The superfood theme continues with the Acai Superfood Bowl with acai, banana, strawberry, spinach, kale, blueberries, and pineapple.
Smoothies include peanut butter, strawberry banana, mocha and a pineapple matcha. Three pounds of fruits and vegetables go into Nektar’s juices crafted with a blend of leafy greens and fruits from apple to orange and lemon depending on the blend.
The fast-growing juice bar concept is in 160 locations in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Utah, Colorado, Washington state and North Carolina. Plans are to expand to 425 sites nationwide by 2024, Nekter officials said.
