With the fitness-conscious crowd that Bengaluru has, the healthy choices available at ‘HAS Juices & More’ are a must try. The many juices and other drink options along with light bites like ‘chaats’ are a delight for everyone.
The space has an array of options to choose from which includes ‘Classic juices’, ‘Kids Special juices’ and ‘Exotic Berries’ and also base juices like ‘Orange’, ‘Pineapple’, ‘Watermelon’, ‘Avocado’, ‘Carrot’ and ‘Vegetable’.
“The place is a heaven for someone who wants to consume something nutritious. The best part about our drinks is that we clearly specify the fruits that have been mixed and used to prepare the drink,” says Gaurav Chouraria, owner of the place.
The drinks and snack bar, which started a year back, is popular among youngsters; with a college crowd flooding in from 10 am to 5 pm, and families usually visiting from 5 pm. “The crowd consists of people who enjoy healthy options in drinks and want sugar-free drinks, which are high on fibre,” he adds.
“The best part about our space is that the customers can see the drinks being made right in front of them. The drinks made at the outlet are prepared through a slow-press juicer,” says Gaurav. Though the prices may seem high, the clientele doesn’t mind this as these are safe options for the fitness freaks, he vouches. “There are also sweet treats for the ones who want to indulge their sweet tooth.
Apart from our ‘Berry Blast’ (made from strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, apple and pineapple), which is a detox juice, ‘HAS it all’ (a combination of many fruits) and ‘Fruit Punch’, we have many juices which are made with varied combinations of fruits. We do not add water in the juices and their fibre, minerals and nutrients are retained because of the process we follow,” explains Gaurav. For the ones who want to treat themselves, there is a variety fruit salad called the ‘HAS Parfait’, which is a combination of fruits, yoghurt, honey and muesli. “It is like a small meal. We also have many milkshakes like the ‘Ferrero Rocher’ milkshake, which is a tasty delight.”
The smoothies are also popular among people who are into gymming and hardcore exercises. The highlight of the place is that they have all juices available throughout the year. “We freeze many of the fruits which makes it easy to provide all juices on our menu throughout to the customers. Ask me about any fruit juice and I will be able to give you what you want. This adds to the variety,” he adds.
The place also serves some ‘chaats’ like ‘Mix chaat’, ‘Dahi papdi chaat’, ‘Sev puri’ and more. “We only outsource the ‘papdi’ and the ‘sev’. Hygiene is of utmost importance for us and our staff are extremely careful,” he says. The outlet is open from 10 am to 11.30 pm. ‘HAS Juices & More’ is located at Airlines Hotel, No 4, Madras Bank Road, off Lavelle Road.
