Source: Tulsa World, Okla.存倉Jan. 04--Just in time for the new year and healthy eating resolutions, a superfood blend bar -- Nourish Drink Cafe -- will open in Tulsa on Monday.The cafe at 1717 E. 17th St. is a collaboration between sisters Amy Murray and Piper Kacere as well as Kacere's husband, Dr. Rich Kacere, a cardiologist at St. John Medical Center.When it opens, Nourish will feature 21 different blends of fruits and vegetables as well as a three-day Kick-Start Cleanse and some grab-and-go healthy lunches."There are significant roadblocks in having proper nutrition, and I see the devastating effect of that every day in my practice," Rich Kacere said. "We want to see how we could serve the people of Tulsa better."Blending and juicing are both beneficial to overall health, Kacere explained, but at Nourish they decided to focus on blends, which uses the whole fruit or vegetable. Juicing extracts the juice of the fruit or vegetable.Most of the fiber, both soluble and insoluble and up to 20 percent of the antioxidants are lost when juicing, he said. Blending, on the other hand, retains all of the fiber and allows a naturally fast delivery of nutrients to the bloodstream without a huge spike in blood sugar."If you are taking in the whole food and blending, you are not losing anything," Kacere said.Amy Murray and Piper Kacere are athletic, and the sisters and their families wanted to come up with a simple and convenient way to share their blending recipes with people they knew.They had such a good response from friends who tried the blends and cleanse system that they thought this might be a niche with a market in Tulsa."It just took off from word of mouth. We have seen live儲存 changed that has been really, really amazing," Rich Kacere said.The 3-Day Kick-Start Cleanse floods the body with nutrient-dense foods, he said. It costs $150 and includes six drinks a day that were designed so people do not feel hungry. Nourish also provides support and encouragement during the cleanse."By day three, you are going to feel amazing," Rich Kacere said.Even though the store has not opened yet, Nourish has been flooded with phone calls, Amy Murray said. The convenience of not having to buy many different foods and the equipment to create the blends is a strong selling point, she noted."To us, there is truly an art to blending," Piper Kacere said. "We put the ingredients on the side of the bottles, but when people try to make them, they come back and ask us why it doesn't taste the same. We have really perfected these recipes."Some of the blends were created for pre- and post-workout nutrition. Piper Kacere, who runs marathons and has qualified for the Boston Marathon this year, said the ingredients were chosen to help with endurance.In addition to the drinks and a few healthy lunches, Nourish Drink Cafe will also sell a skin and body care line -- "La Chemie pour Nourish" that was customized for Nourish by local private label skin care company La Chemie Botanical Skincare & Aromatherapy -- and an exclusive nightgown and robe from JuJu Jams.Nicole Marshall Middleton 918-581-8459nicole.marshall@tulsaworld.comNourish Drink Cafe918-991-17171717 E. 17th St.Opens Monday, hours Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.Copyright: ___ (c)2014 Tulsa World (Tulsa, Okla.)
