Juices, smoothies, veggie burgers, and vegan patties
























"Smoothies are a whole meal, and Turning Natural makes some of our favorite ones in the city. The juice bar serves about twenty different smoothies and fresh juices, including the Bob Marley, a tropical smoothie full of papaya, pineapple, mango, and peach. And they can get you in and out in less than 10 minutes. The shop is only open from 9am-5pm though, so don’t plan to come too early or too late." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
"We love an on-the-go breakfast that gives us an energy boost that isn’t from a short-lived sugar rush. And on those days, we go to Turning Natural. The Anacostia juice bar serves about 20 different smoothie and fresh juice options, including our favorite, the Bob Marley, a tropical smoothie full of papaya, pineapple, mango, and peach. They get you in and out in under 10 minutes, so stop in even if you’re running a little behind schedule. Just tell your boss it was your daily dose of self-care." - omnia saed, mekita rivas

"Turning Natural describes itself as “health movement” instead of just a juice bar, and this local company has expanded to add locations in Anacostia, District Heights, Shaw, Takoma, Eastern Market, and H Street NE. Order a cleanse or sign up for a juicing class. In addition to colorful juices and smoothies (think the “Green Latifah” juice with fennel, apple, ginger, and lemon), the shops sell snacks like salads, vegan pastries, and more." - Missy Frederick

"I learned that Sandlot partnered with Turning Natural, a Black-owned juice bar with four locations around the District, to make the cold-pressed juices used in the venue's cocktails." - Gabe Hiatt
