Food Lovers' Guide: Beet Jar Juice Bar

Milk may do your body good, but Beet Jar Juice Bar’s cashew mylk soothes our soul. There’s a brief moment of hipster Zen as you reach into the grab-and-go cooler filled with perfect rows of 8- and 16-ounce bottles of vanilla bean, cacao and — depending upon what ingredients are fresh — spirulina (it’s bright green), turmeric, lavender or mint chocolate chip. Using cashews, dates, vanilla beans, sea salt and reverse osmosis-water as a base, the mylks ($5 for 8 ounces, $9 for 16 ounces) are made fresh daily. Smooth, thick and pulp-free, they still have a hint of nuttiness not often found in most other varieties. “We don’t skimp on the cashews,” explains Molly Pamela, who co-owns Beet Jar with Joseph Joseph. “And we don’t water them down.” Use It At Home: To make a healthy pudding, mix chia seeds and cashew mylk, and let it set in your fridge overnight. 1432 W. 29th St., Cleveland, beetjar.com
