Fruition GR
In 2018, two sisters opened Fruition GR on the corner of Lake Drive and Robinson Road. Fruition has an expansive menu of healthy food items, from juices, smoothies, and acai bowls to toast, bagels, and wraps, making it the perfect place to stop for a quick breakfast or lunch.
Fruition prides itself on using an organic acai puree that is sweetened with only 0.5% organic cane sugar, so that what you are eating is mostly fruit. Juice bars like Fruition use acai because it’s a berry that not only makes wonderful-tasting smoothies, but also has a variety of health benefits.
For something unique, grab an avocado bowl, which has a smashed avocado base, followed by your choice of toppings. “The Fruition Bowl” is the juice bar’s number one selling acai bowl, topped with granola, peanut butter, fruit, coconut, and honey.
The hip, modern interior at Fruition makes it a fun place to hang out and enjoy a healthy treat with friends. Check out the brightly colored fluorescent sign hanging on the wall, displaying phrases such as “acai you baby” and “you’re so fine-apple.”
Good Judy's cold pressed juices are the perfect complement to their delicious toasts.
