Zing Juice Bar Unveils Three Bold Autumn Dishes for Health-Conscious Foodies

Zing Juice Bar in Northeast Tampa has rolled out three new autumn dishes to its menu. Owner Shamica Ware designed the seasonal offerings to blend nutrition with bold flavours. The bar, known for its fresh juices and wellness focus, continues to expand its food options for health-conscious customers.

The 'Fall Protein Bowl' packs plant-based protein with extra firm tofu, brown rice, and roasted Brussels sprouts. Sweet potatoes add natural sweetness, while a tahini dressing—made with Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and lemon juice—ties the dish together. Toppings of dried cranberries and walnuts provide extra texture and crunch.

The 'Butternut Squash Soup' combines roasted squash with coconut milk for a creamy base. Shallots, garlic, and vegetable broth deepen the flavour, while spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and curry powder add warmth. A touch of maple syrup balances the heat from cayenne, and diced apple lends a subtle freshness.

For a lighter option, the 'Applenut Kale Salad' features chopped kale tossed with crisp Honeycrisp apples and roasted walnuts. Dried cranberries bring chewiness, while the dressing—apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice—keeps it tangy. A drizzle of maple syrup rounds out the mix.

Ware opened Zing Juice Bar around 2020–2021, quickly building a loyal following through fresh drinks and community engagement. Beyond food and juices, the business hosts nutrition workshops, youth fitness programmes, and free health screenings. Partnerships with local schools and businesses have further strengthened its role in promoting wellness across Tampa.

The new autumn menu reflects Ware's commitment to healthy, flavourful eating. Customers can now enjoy seasonal dishes alongside the bar's signature juices and smoothies. The additions also align with Zing Juice Bar's broader mission of supporting community health through accessible nutrition.
