Some days you wake up feeling like you could run a marathon, and other days… well, you’re just running late. On those “I can’t even” mornings (or when the 3 p.m. slump hits like a ton of bricks), nothing wakes me up faster than a cold, freshly blended smoothie.

And that’s where Keva Juice comes in.
If you live somewhere sunny — Florida, I’m looking at you — or anywhere that practically begs you to be outdoors, you know food can make or break your energy levels.

What is Keva Juice? A Quick Sip of Their Story
Keva Juice isn’t just another smoothie chain — they’ve been blending up the good stuff since 2005 when Jennifer and Gary Thomas decided Reno, Nevada, needed more fresh fruit and fewer boring drinks. Their mission? Keep it fresh, simple, fun, and packed with nutrients without draining your entire paycheck.
Now they’ve got 22 locations across the U.S., including:
- Sarasota, FL – 5325 Fruitville Rd.
- Bountiful, UT – 45 500 S.
- Reno/Sparks, NV – several spots including Vista Blvd, Meadowood Mall, and South Meadows
- Albuquerque, NM – home to the famous “Klub Keva” promos
What makes them stand out? They’ve got something for every mood — from “I’m trying to be healthy” to “I just need something cold and delicious right now.”
The Menu: Smoothies for Every Mood
Whether you want a post-gym protein punch, a tropical beach in a cup, or a “cheat” drink that still fits your goals, Keva Juice has you covered.
Some highlights:
- Smoothies for every craving – berry overload, tropical mango-pineapple blends, citrus zings, or veggie-packed greens.
- Energy boosters – yes, they even have Red Bull smoothies for when you need turbo mode.
- Koffee blends – for mornings when you want breakfast and caffeine in the same cup.
- Fresh juices – orange, carrot, lemonade, wheatgrass… all squeezed fresh.
- Acai bowls – Instagram-worthy, antioxidant-packed, and fully customizable.
- Boosters & add-ins – first one’s free! Choose from protein, immunity support, fat burner, stress relief, and more.
- Vegan & dairy-free options – Coconut milk soft serve in place of yogurt.
- Fun creations – from the clean green “DetoxBunni” to the gloriously indulgent “DirtiBunni” (Oreos + M&Ms — because balance).
Calories? A 24-oz smoothie can be anywhere from ~175 to 550+, but most hover between 300–375, just enough to fill you up without knocking you out.
Why Smoothies Are Bagic
A good smoothie can:
- Double as a quick meal when you’re short on time
- Sneak in way more fruits & veggies than you’d normally eat
- Enhance your metabolic rate by focusing on protein-rich foods
- Keep you hydrated while delivering all the good stuff — vitamins, minerals, fiber
For people who “forget” to eat their greens, smoothies are a delicious form of trickery.
The Detox Dream Team
Keva’s green smoothies aren’t just pretty — they’re loaded with ingredients that help your body do its thing.
Some all-stars:
- Leafy greens – kale, spinach, wheatgrass… chlorophyll central.
- Citrus fruits – lemon, lime, orange = fresh + digestion-friendly.
- Garlic – weird in a smoothie, amazing for liver support.
- Broccoli sprouts – tiny but powerful detoxifiers.
- Carrots & beets – help cleanse the liver.
- Turmeric – anti-inflammatory and just plain awesome.
Green smoothies are nature’s first fast food — nutrient-dense, portable, and guilt-free.

Your Keva Juice FAQs
So, what exactly is this Juice?
It’s your new favorite spot for awesome smoothies, fresh juices, and frozen yogurt. It was started by a couple who wanted to make healthy food fun and delicious, and they have locations all over the U.S.
Can I get protein in my smoothie there?
Totally! You can add a protein boost (like Whey protein) to pretty much any drink on the menu. It’s perfect for after a workout or if you just want your smoothie to be more filling.
But like… is it healthy?
For the most part, yes! They have tons of seriously healthy options, especially their green smoothies and juices that are packed with superfoods. Of course, they also have some more indulgent, treat-yourself options (hello, DirtiBunni!). If you’re counting calories or sugar, it’s always a good idea to check the nutrition info on their website, but you can find lots of great choices.
When should you ideally have a protein shake?
A lot of experts say having this protein for breakfast is a great move. It gets your metabolism going and keeps you full for hours, so you’re not reaching for snacks by 10 a.m.
Do I need to exercise to drink protein?
Nope! While protein is awesome for muscle recovery after a workout, your body needs protein every day just to function, repair cells, and keep you feeling strong. This is just a super-convenient way to get it in.
What’s so great about protein shakes anyway?
A good one is a game-changer! It’s a quick meal when you’re busy, it helps keep you full (which is great for weight management), and it fuels your body with the good stuff it needs to thrive. Some, like Shakeology, are even loaded with extra vitamins and probiotics, so you get a ton of benefits in one glass.
I always grab a smoothie after my morning workout but I am never sure what is actually healthy versus just full of sugar. Which smoothie at Keva Juice would you recommend for a true energy boost without the crash?
That is an excellent point. It is so easy for smoothies to become sugar bombs. For a clean energy boost, I would recommend looking at their options that are based on green tea or matcha for caffeine, and prioritize ones with real whole fruits and veggies over those with sherbet or juice concentrates. The ones with added protein or greens like spinach will also help sustain your energy levels longer. Always ask to see the nutrition info to make the best choice for your goals
