The best way to reward yourself after a hard workout is with a freshly pressed juice.
Recently the health trend has expanded all over Washington, D.C. Here are four juice spots worth checking out.
Jrink Juicery
Jrink Juicery was created by “two burnt-out Wall-Streeters” who wanted to reexamine their lives and create a product that would fit their new, refreshed lifestyle. The juice is sold online, in many fitness boutiques around the city, as well as a couple brick and mortar shops. All juices are cold-pressed right here in the D.C. area, in Falls Church, and use the highest quality ingredients possible. Jrink is also eco-friendly by bottling their products in recycled glass. Best-selling juices are the detoxifying and cleansing options. You can take a quiz on their website to find out which type of juice is the best for you and your needs.To learn more about subscription services a well as all the products sold, you can visit the Jrink website here.
