GRAYSON VALLEY — For many, the new year brings resolutions to work on the physical appearance of the body, but making a physical change must start with a mental change. A mental change in diet and commitment to exercise is vital to becoming a healthier person.
That is exactly what the new Slurp! Smoothie Shop & Cafe, located on Grayson Valley Parkway in the old Smoothie Joe’s location, is counting on.
“We’re here to give a healthy alternative to eating out. We want to give people the option of healthier food,” Manager Heather Graham said.
The idea of healthy foods will make the average person cringe. Healthy foods don’t taste good or take too long to prepare, one might say.
Slurp!, however, disagrees, and the shop backs it up.
“We kept our menu very simple so you can look at it and make a quick decision. If you’re in a hurry, we will be able to serve quickly and you leave happy,” Graham said.
In addition to the sandwiches that can be made quickly and healthy, the shop offers a large variety of smoothie flavors and even some healthy add-ins.
“All of our [smoothie] blends are organic. It’s better for you, it’s healthier; it doesn’t have any added sugar,” Graham said. “Our add-ins are all natural, so they’re good for you as well.”
The menu may be small, but the benefits are major, especially this time of year when many are seeking out a way to change themselves for the better. Slurp! offers that in an affordable, timely and tasty menu.
Along with the sandwiches and smoothies, Slurp! will also deliver a juice cleanse to your door. The kits come in 3-day or 7-day varieties.
“We have the smoothies than can serve as meal replacements, or we have the sandwiches that can be constructed into a salad if you don’t want to eat the breads. All of our food is healthy,” Graham said.
“We want to be here to help those who are looking for a healthy alternative in a quick, easy fashion.”
