Paradise Juice is a lunchtime jewel sequestered away from the street in a strip mall full of giant chain stores. Ok, that was a bit dramatic, but we who have spent enough time in Phoenix know that strip malls often house great food finds and we must educate outsiders not to discriminate based on appearances. Paradise Juice is really good...seriously. And it's healthy!
This little spot is owned and operated by an Iranian family that is just so genuinely nice you'll feel good giving them your business. All of their smoothies are amazing and made with fresh ingredients. Try the cranberry-based ones for something less sweet or opt for a delicious vegetable juice. If you need food on top of your liquid meal, I especially love the grilled vegetable sandwich. There are a few nice outdoor tables, albeit, your view is a massive parking lot.
