What Is Botrista?

You may wonder what Botrista Beverages are. It is actually an automated beverage solution machine offered to restaurants and cafes. Users can expand beverage ticket size by serving craft beverages such as boba teas, smoothies, iced coffee creations, flavored lemonades, and energy drinks.

The Craze On The Healthy Lifestyle 

Let’s face it, the fast food restaurant industry and healthy food just don’t match. We all want to start a healthy lifestyle, but with the prices on the market, the healthy lifestyle can’t choose to be with us. As a solution, fast food chains are trying their hands at creating much healthier options, such as salads, tofu burgers, gluten-free pizzas, or olive oil fried fries

With this, numerous healthy fast-food chains and salad shops have emerged recently. One of these is leading fast-casual poke brand called Pokeworks, offering guests healthy Hawaiian-inspired meals at an affordable price. They have a simple mission of creating Poke Bowl meal recipes, which consist of sushi rice, protein meats, Pokeworks’ proprietary sauces, and vegetable garnishes. 

Pokeworks believes that healthy meals don’t need to be expensive, so if you want to start living a healthy lifestyle, head over to Pokeworks.

From The Club

Admittedly, I’m one of those kids who didn’t want to eat their greens on the dinner plate. As I grew older, I realized I wanted to start a healthy lifestyle. It’s a good thing, Pokeworks is here to save the day! I’m excited to try their create-your-own delicious Poke Bowls and Poke Burrito while taking a sip on the refreshing Strawberry Lemon Smoothie. With this tiring week, I think I deserve to treat myself with a healthy and hearty meal so I might just head over at my nearest Pokeworks!
