As I sit here on a frigid winter morning, days removed from Thanksgiving yet still full of turkey and remorse, I'm reminded of a recent visit to Ruby Jean's Juicery.
This place is uplifting in every way. The bright, naturally lit new(er) space, along with the vibrant art and expanded menu are enough to pull me in. The juice combos have always been off the chain here, but the açaí bowl here was equally life giving. Let me expand on that a bit..
I used to be a good +60 or so pounds heavier than I am now, drank more soda than water and generally didn't have a clue about healthy foods. The biggest takeaway over my transition to living a healthier lifestyle over several years is that it actually feels amazing to eat healthy. Sure eating candy or french fries can provide that short term endorphin rush, but when eating healthy often with foods like Ruby Jean's, I feel balanced and sharp all day.
I'm really glad to see them expand their food options here too because I don't go for juices as often as I used to, so it gives me an excuse to come in.
Only thing I'd change would be some kind of loyalty program here because based on the fresh ingredients, the costs can tend to add up if frequenting.
Add in the fact that this location is on Troost, long considered a dividing line in Kansas City for all the wrong reasons, it just affirms my thinking that Ruby Jean's Juicery is a big, positive part of our city's ongoing transformation. Staff is always friendly, parking is easy, and highly recommend checking them out.
