Jodi Cummings inside her new Liberty Street juice bar , The Daily Beet .

A
newly-opened juice bar now offers a variety of healthy juices and smoothies made with fruits , vegetables and everything good .
The Daily Beet opened last month at 118A Liberty Street . Menu items include juices named “ Screamin ’ Green ” – made with kale , spinach , green apple , cucumber and mint – and “ Radical Red ,” with apple , carrot , lemon , ginger and , of course , beets . “ All the drinks are named after crayon colors ,” said owner Jodi Cummings .
The colorfully-designed juice bar is decorated with shelves full of apples and oranges . A mural painting with mansized carrots , turnips and beets covers an entire wall .
The space has been completely renovated since its earlier incarnation as the “ Juice Headquarters ,” which closed in the fall . “ I missed having a juice bar ,” said Cummings . “ But , I wanted to create something different than what was here .”
Cummings said she wanted the juice bar design to look “ clean ,” like the drinks on the menu . Offerings include juices and smoothies with simple ingredients – fresh fruits , vegetables , peanut butter , pumpkin seeds , figs , dates , mint and yogurt , among others . The juice bar also sells bubble tea and wheat grass shots . Drinks range from $ 7.50 to $ 8 each .
Coconut milk , almond milk and juices are used instead of animal milk . Protein boosters can be added to any drink .
On a hot , humid day this month , the “ Banana Mania ” smoothie was a fresh delight . Blended with bananas , almond milk , peanut butter , cold brew coffee , cinnamon and cocoa , the smoothie was a delicious pick-me-up .
Much of the produce comes from Obercreek Farm in Wappingers Falls and Grass and Grit Farm in New Paltz . “ My focus is to buy from local farms ,” said Cummings , which practice local growing techniques .
Cummings , a Culinary Institute of America-trained chef , also owns Caffé Macchiato across the street . Café customers told Cummings they often lack time to sit down for a nice meal . “ The feedback was , ‘ I don ’ t have time to sit down and have lunch ,’” she said .
So , Cummings plans to offer preprepared , vegetarian and vegan to-go foods : ready-to-go salads , soups and protein boxes , prepared the same day . Cummings said the juice bar will also sell market items such as milk , butter and bread . New additions are expected by the end of the summer , she said .
