Juice House Company -- Petaluma, CA (healthy liquids shop)

A day trip to the Petaluma area always ends with a happy belly and a car full of delicious new food finds. On my most recent excursion, I came across this establishment that provided "food energy" in the form of nut mylk, kombucha and fresh, cold-pressed juices and elixirs. They also offer cold brew coffee and source their fruits, vegetables and other ingredients locally and organically. 

Another feel-good aspect is they try to limit their carbon footprint by doing everything locally as well as recycling or reusing their bottles and they even offer their composted waste to local growers. They are located at 421 Second Street in Petaluma, with a second location in Benicia. 




Here are some of the things I've enjoyed.


Left: Almond Tempest. Made with Almonds, dates, vanilla bean, cinnamon and a touch of sea salt. I found this worked great in my morning smoothie. The salt, which I normally don't add to my smoothies, brought out the flavors of the fruit.

Right: Golden Mylk. The macadamia nuts gave this mylk an elegant flavor and the cashews, agave, vanilla bean and cinnamon rounded out the taste and texture that made this a great sipping mylk. I also found that it was fantastic in my afternoon cup of chai. 





Left: Citrus Sea. This fresh, cold-pressed juice was made with grapefruit, orange, lemon, celery, cucumber, ginger and cilantro. The ginger and lemon came through very nicely without it being overly tart or spicy, as it was well balanced by the other ingredients. Great on its own as a refreshing beverage or in an adult beverage with some aromatic gin over ice.

Center: Pomegranate Kombucha. This was tangy without too much added sugar to mask that natural kombucha taste and had a little bit of effervescence. Made with green tea, black tea, SCOBY, and pomegranate, I felt super healthy drinking this.

Right: Car-root. The vibrant color stands out from the carrot and the pineapple. The celery, ginger and lemon balance the flavors for a refreshing drink.




This will definitely be a go-to spot whenever I visit the Petaluma area. I look forward to trying their other products.
