Within Me Journal

Dandelion is more than a bitter roadside weed; it’s a powerful healer. In this post, I share how I used dandelion during my cancer journey, its benefits for the liver and skin, and a delicious way to enjoy it in juice and salad.

Juice Tip of the Week: Alfalfa Sprouts — Green Goodness for Energy, Detox & Vitality

I am always digging deeper into nature's healing cabinet—alfalfa sprouts are one of my favorite unsung heroes. Once revered by early Arabians as "the father of all foods," this vibrant green has earned its title. I usually add alfalfa sprouts to my salad or sandwich and the powder to my juices and smoothies.

An herbal superfood to boost stamina, energy, and endurance. A tonic for rheumatoid arthritis and for strengthening connective tissue. Alfalfa is packed with a full spectrum of plant-based nutrients:

Chocolate Dream Smoothie Recipe with Unstress Me
In this post, Sonia shares the story behind her Chocolate Dream Smoothie, a rich, nourishing recipe designed to promote energy and relaxation. By adding Unstress Me, a calming blend of adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms like Ashwagandha, Reishi, and Rhodiola, the smoothie becomes a natural way to manage stress, boost immunity, and support mental clarity.

When we first opened SpaJuiceBar, my focus was strictly on providing juices, smoothies, and a few acai bowls. The people I surrounded myself with had great ideas, and one lady in particular, Alicia, had a brilliant notion to create raw oatmeal. Alicia was very much into the plant-based lifestyle, and I found her to be truly fascinating because she knew what I did not know about plant-based food. My forte at the time of opening was juice. I am a juicer; I dream of juice, and my focus was only on juice in the beginning. So, Alicia created what turned out to be one of the most sought-after oatmeals. Our raw oatmeal was highly favored at SpaJuiceBar. Now, this oatmeal is not cooked strictly raw but full of flavor and fortifying nutrients. Since the closing of the juice bar on Las Olas, I have received many requests to share the recipe.

A simple recipe:

Muddle a few blueberries and basil leaves together. 

Add ice and pour SpaJuiceBar Blu Lemonade and stir.

Enjoy!!

Be mindful of the thoughts you repeat; your words shape your world. In this reflection, Sonia shares how our thoughts influence emotions, behaviors, and ultimately our reality.

Hi, Beautiful People!

We've missed you! First things first, SpaJuiceBar is excited to announce that we are now open online! 🌐✨ Also, we have a new contact number: 954-205-5575. We’re really sorry if our move seemed sudden. If we dropped the ball on keeping you in the loop, please accept our heartfelt apologies. 

 Reflecting on the incredible 10 years we spent at our Las Olas location brings so much joy. Each day was filled with love, laughter, and lots of juice! Did you know my journey into juicing began through my personal battle with cancer? It was during that challenging time that I discovered the powerful healing properties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Starting SpaJuiceBar was my way of sharing this discovery and learning alongside you. We’ve all grown so much, haven’t we?

Empowerment comes from within. It’s the force that propels you toward your dreams and desires. As Swami Rama, the great yogi and founder of the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy, said, “Human beings have forgotten that all things happen deep within before they appear on the physical and mental levels. We must understand our inner skills and...use them as much as possible in order to ensure perfect health.”
