Whenever your energy stores dip too low and you need to regain your footing, you can turn to the Lotus Health Food Café and Juice Bar for all you need. From their breathtakingly beautiful Zen garden to tasty, health-conscious menu items, everything about this place is meant to recharge and reinvigorate the soul.
Immediately upon stepping through the doors, you are greeted by stunning artwork and pleasant design cues all throughout their shop. The real magic, however, lies in the Zen garden through the rear doors. Filled with native plants, rock gardens, and ponds galore, this space is designed to calm the mind and body in an instant. They even have an outdoor fireplace to cozy around as you kick back and relax after a long, hard day.
Upon setting down in the garden, you can set your sights on tasty treats and imaginative drinks, many of which can only be found at this café. Across their lunch and dinner menus, they have a wide range of homecooked foods, including vegetarian and vegan fare. With their high-quality ingredients and rich spice blends, you will never miss the meat.
In their non-vegetarian dishes, they often make great use of the fresh seafood available all around Panama City Beach. They highlight the complex flavors with whole grains and fresh veggies, creating meals you will remember for years to come. No matter what you order, make sure to pair your meal with one of their innovative smoothie or juice options, which are definitely the star of the show.
Smoothie and juice flavors their customers love include:
Beach Juice
Available in 16 and 20-ounce sizes, Beach Juice promises to jumpstart your day and leave you thinking about its flavors long after heading home. This juice features a sweet blend of apples, carrots, and beets. Then, they add a kick of lemon and ginger to finish it off.
Sweet & Spicy
The Sweet & Spicy juice concoction has a surprising mix of fruit and spices sure to delight your taste buds. This drink starts with a base of pineapple, cucumber, apple, and celery. On top of that, they add lemon, ginger, turmeric, and black pepper, creating a tantalizing burst of flavor with every sip.
Peanut Butter Buddha
As a part of their smoothie offerings, the Peanut Butter Buddha is everything you could want out of a sweet drink. Also available in 16 and 20-ounce sizes, this tasty beverage starts with a base of rich almond milk. To that, they add peanut butter, banana, agave, and maca. You can add cacao to the mix for another dollar if you dare.
Strawberry Dream
While still a smoothie, the Strawberry Dream is a little lighter, as it starts with an apple juice and infused water base. They elevate that base with fresh strawberry and banana plus mint for a little bit of bite. This drink also receives a generous helping of hemp protein to kick it is up a notch and give you your money’s worth.
In addition to opening their doors six days a week to patrons in need of fresh drinks and great food, they allow you to book their venue for events. Their grounds are a popular place for weddings, art shows, and other community events year-round. Their schedule is regularly packed, and for good reason. The Zen garden provides the perfect backdrop for celebrations of all kinds, helping everyone get in the mood to party.
