Chill-Yo is a juice shop at 1070 Eruera St in Victoria, Rotorua, with a Google rating of 5.0.
A good juice shop uses fresh fruit and vegetables, makes drinks to order and is open about what goes in them, including any added sugar, syrups or ice. If you are choosing one, look for a short, seasonal menu, ask whether juices are cold-pressed or blended, and check whether smoothies use whole fruit, yoghurt or milk. Regulars drink juice soon after it is made, when it tastes freshest, balance fruit juices with vegetable ones such as carrot, celery or ginger and ask for less ice or no added sweetener if they prefer. Juice is high in natural sugar and has little fibre compared with eating the whole fruit, so it works best as a treat or a pick-me-up rather than a replacement for meals. Tell staff about allergies, as smoothies and toppings can contain dairy, nuts and seeds.
