With a new year, comes a new commitment to health and wellbeing and Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants are on hand to help with their new fresh juice menu. Created to promote excellent health and boost energy, the menu features three delicious and healthy juice blends made from fresh fruits and vegetables. The juices will be highlighted on breakfast, lunch and pool menus for restaurant and hotel guests to enjoy. Currently available at 10 Kimpton restaurants across the USA, the programme will be rolled out across all properties later this year.

"Travel can be taxing on the body and can certainly throw up a few obstacles to keeping a regular health and fitness regime going. At Kimpton, we aim to reduce some of those obstacles and are always on the hunt for new and innovative ways to help our guests feel great when they stay with us," said Mike DeFrino, Chief Operating Officer at Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. "The health benefits of juicing have been well documented for decades and our guests tell us they feel good about the option to replenish some vitamins and minerals while on the road. It's really just an extension of our ongoing wellness offerings."

The collection of juices sells for £5 - £8 ($8 - $12) each across Kimpton's restaurants and come in three nutritious blends.  Executive Chef Christian Graves from Jsix in San Diego crafted and refined the following juice recipes using healthy, locally sourced ingredients:

• Being Green - A nutrient-rich mixture of cucumber, celery, spinach, kale and lemon.
• Beets Me - An energising elixir of red beets, carrots, ginger and cilantro.
• Local Only - A cocktail of local farm produce with the host chef's personal touch. Varies by location but the selection could include a variation of whole passion fruit, green apples, celery and kale.

Juicing is the latest in Kimpton's ever-expanding list of wellness offerings for restaurant and hotel guests who are committed to staying healthy while travelling. Last year, the company introduced a partnership with PUBLIC Bikes to offer free bike rentals at all its properties, as well as designed a Kimpton custom yoga mat in partnership with Gaiam available in all guest rooms. And in recent years, both the hotels and restaurants have introduced several healthier dining options for guests, including special menus for those with allergies or dietary restrictions like gluten-free.
