Juice It Up!

My family and I stopped in on Memorial day for a healthy start and everything we had was great! My husband had the green tea smoothie, I had the Immunizer and a small Morning Glory and my two small girls both loved the hot pink Pitaya Sunset. The place was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. So nice to have a place where you can get a healthy juice and not have to spend 20 minutes cleaning your juicing machine! We will be back!

Great stuff if you go off menu because 85% of the items have a ton of sugar in them (not counting from fruit, I understand that’s good fructose). I usually only go into the store in the afternoons because that’s when the owner isn’t there… you can tell she’s grown tired of dealing with picky customers because of the sighs and frowns when substitution occurs. Shocker that would ever happen in a dietary type establishment.

My husband brought me home, some green juice. He said it was good for the immune system.
A little too much celery, needed a little more sweet. It also was room temperature, and very chunky, I was chewing some of it. It was okay, for the price id prefer smoothie king

My love for this place is borderline obsessive. So I’ve recently become somewhat of a smoothie connoisseur (preggo. The bump wants what it wants.) I find that a lot of other smoothie joints make their concoctions all about boosts and protein and junk. Juice it up uses real stuff, charges you less for it, is shockingly lower in calories and makes blends that are ridiculously delicious. I recommend the everything. You’re welcome.

I got the energizer Raw juice and for it being a juice bar they should have a great juicer– mine at home doesn’t leave any chunks at all in the juice — there’s had a lot of little chunks in it. Also the price for a small was 5.99, I’m ok paying that if its great and can replace a meal but the small could not replace a meal for me. I believe the large was like 9 $. The girl behind the counter was helpful and nice.

Juice It Up, huh? I dug it.
Have you ever had something that just tasted really healthy? That’s the flavor that Juice It Up has in all it’s juices. I had a green thing called the Raw Fusion– it had spinach, kale, pineapple, banana and apple. I felt like I’d eaten something good after this. I mean, it’s no sausage biscuit but it’s healthy as hell so you feel good about it.
I wasn’t sure what to order and the girl behind the counter let gave me a sample. It was tasty so I went for this funny green thing. Only drawback was it was $ 7 (seeeeveeeen dollllarssssesss) for a medium. But I looked cool, so there’s that. ;)

I went in to get a shot of wheatgrass juice and some green juice. Both were great, except I really don’t think it was a full ounce of wheatgrass juice. I receive more when I go to Jamba Juice. However, the manager (I think?) was kind enough to add some fruit to my green juice to sweeten it after I tried it and told her it was a little bitter. I also like the simplicity of the menu. I hate when there are so many choices that you have no idea what you should get.

I live in Highland Park and have gotten used to picking up great, organic raw juices and smoothies from local shops. I was in Rockwall for the morning and had seen Juice It Up on previous trips, so I decided to try it out.
I ordered a protein smoothie called The Zone. I frequently order peanut butter smoothies at other shops, so I have a pretty good idea of what they should be like. This tasted like it was made with Jif and ice cream. As I’m not a big sugar eater, it was just too much for me and I was only able to drink ¼ of the medium. A nut milk, MUCH less sugar and a better quality peanut butter would have done wonders for this. As it stands, it was on par with a milkshake but three times the price. ($ 6.44 for a medium)
The service was quick and friendly. What I wasn’t a fan of was the cashier trying to upcharge my order. I was asked if I wanted to switch protein, if I wanted a larger size and if I wanted to add chocolate (probably would have been a Snickers bar) to the «smoothie».
I looked at the website later and saw that even for juices and smoothies, the sugar content here is sky high. Mine had over 30 grams of sugar and I typically only eat 20 grams a day. They also include a lot of juices (no indication if they make them or they’re pre made) in their smoothies rather than whole fruits.
Overall, good tasting, but didn’t seem at all healthy. Go here if you want to feel like you’re being healthy but don’t really care if you are.

The juice I got was very good, it took them a very long time to make one large juice (the kind of time that you think if I would have known it would take this long I wouldn’t have stopped because now I’m going to be late to work). They were extremely expensive my large was 11 and change I had one shot in it which was supposed to be free.
With all that being said I thought I would try again except maybe see if I could call in and tell them what I want so that when I got there I could grab it and go… But I called 3x and nobody answered the phone. I’m sure they are exceptionally busy because like I said the product is very good the price point is high and service is lacking… I’ll give them another go when they’ve gotten a little more settled in.

First time visiting this juice and smoothie bar and I will definitely be going back on my next trip to Rockwall. It’s not easy finding a smoothie bar that offers truly healthy options and not just a combination of sugary juice and fruit. I had the green smoothie that included spinach, kale, and a few fruits. It was delicious and very energizing.
My friend had the Strawberry Wave and raved over it. Great service, very clean and bright atmosphere and reasonable prices. I also decided to try a tosi almond Super bites bar that they carry. It was a healthy, crunchy snack to have later in the afternoon. I’ll be buying more of those too.
I highly recommend visiting Juice It Up if you’re in Rockwall.

This is a new raw juice franchise well-​established in California now making its way to DFW. The Rockwall location opened today 30 Mar and if my experience is any indication, it’s going to be a hit!
I tried the Smoothie Fruit Bowl, which is an extra thick smoothie; spoon rather than straw. The Pitaya Passion was excellent; acai blend topped with fresh berries and granola. I added a protein boost to make a satisfyingly filling breakfast. The place is very clean (it’s brand new) and the staff is friendly!
Currently, they’re offering free sample, try the ginger shot for a bracing burning detox rush! Next time I might ask for a squeeze of lemon.
