Nevera Juice Bar: Downey

Downey is shaping up to become one of the healthier neighborhoods in Los Angeles.

Situated just 13 miles southeast of downtown with a population of 114,871 at last count, Downey has a lot to offer including a contagious vibe for fitness and health.

What began as an orange grove town eventually turned into more of a convenient tourist stopover for popular attractions like Disneyland, Hollywood, or the beach. All that is changing though. Downey is building an identity of its own…and it’s a healthy one.

There are a lot of great places to visit in Downey like the iconic Columbia Space Center and the very first McDonald’s restaurant. Nestled in the middle of the bustling city is an unexpected gem – Wilderness Park where there are two lakes and plenty of open green space, perfect for walking or jogging.

A host of fitness centers, yoga studios, and even water aerobics are available in the area to accommodate Downey’s shift to a healthier lifestyle. Food and drink establishments are popping up to support too like the best juice bar in Downey – Nevera Juice Bar at 12121 Paramount Blvd.

Although Nevera has been in business for over a decade, the juice bar is new to Downey. Nutritious and delicious juices, smoothies, acai bowls, and nutritious meals are some of the favorites on the menu.

If you’re considering a move or visit to Downey (or if you already live in the community) and are wanting to join the quest for a healthier, happier lifestyle, you should have no problem doing so. Downey is making all the right moves towards embracing fitness and health to encourage you to do the same.
