Forget about coffee, try a smoothie!

During these busy times, MTB-students often need a quick energy boost. Most of them still use coffee to stay focused. But nowadays smoothies are gaining more and more success. In general, people try to eat healthier and to include more fresh fruit and vegetables in their meals. Therefore, opening a sustainable juice bar could be an attractive business opportunity.

What?

Most of the coffee bars already offer fresh smoothies, but a bar that focuses only on smoothies and sustainable and organic ingredients, doesn’t exist in Ghent. The idea is to offer freshly squeezed juices and blended smoothies made from local and seasonal fruits. Smoothies are an easy way to take in the necessary vitamins during a quick break.

Why?

Today people (including students) search for healthy fast food options, and try to eat more fruits and vegetables according to their diets. That’s why it could be a good idea to mention the nutrition facts on each smoothie label, in order to encourage the growing eco-conscious community.

Where?

Juice bars can easily be started as a small business inside a gym or the local mall. And if you have the necessary resources, you can transform a nice small building into a trendy smoothie café!
