Meet Raul Fernando Rodriguez of Movita Juice Bar

Today we’d like to introduce you to Raul Fernando Rodriguez.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Movita Juice Bar was founded by two business partners.

For one partner, a life-threatening cancer diagnosis of his child became a life-changing wake-up call. The family was experiencing a difficult and painful period in their lives.

Today, the family is a family of a “child cancer survivor” and they are eternally grateful for God’s provision. They show gratitude by giving back to the communities we serve in.

It was during the child’s medical treatment that the two business founders joined in their mission to better educate themselves and their families for healthier eating habits.

They headed down a path of many questions – Why wait for illness to occur before we decide to change our eating habits? Wouldn’t life be better if we avoided illness by creating healthier eating habits and not wait until we are ill?

These questions and many others followed these gentlemen for days, weeks, and months to follow – This education and healthy life practice became their mission.

Their mission became our company’s mission of providing healthier eating alternatives.

By eating healthier, we can avoid many health problems and live happier and more fulfilled lives. To achieve this, it’s necessary that healthy options would no longer be a luxury. That is where Movita comes in. Movita Juice Bar will serve only good stuff so that you can live longer, healthier, and happier lives… at an affordable price.

Simply put, Movita = More Life!

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
For starters, people are more willing to pay almost $6 for a frap than a fresh made fresh ingredients juice or smoothie.

Many people want smoothies as a refresher and we well “health in a cup” less sweet, fresh and healthy ingredients…

In the beginning, landlords did not want to rent to us, we were new and only a concept, literally begged to get a space then this pandemic hit, now more than ever people realized that the best way to protect themselves is by taking care of their immunity…

We’d love to hear more about your business.
We, at Movita Juice Bar are Health Enthusiasts! To put it simply… We’re in the health business! We provide health in a cup!

We specialize mainly in three areas: Raw Juices, Smoothies, and Acai Bowls.

We support and use whenever possible:
Organic fruits and veggies
Ugly buy delicious fruits and veggies
Locally grown

Everything that we sell is never frozen or pasteurized (except acai which is only allowed frozen and comes from Brazil).

What were you like growing up?
Grew up in a small town where most people would wake up to natural juices instead of coffee…

In my town, there is a belief that raw and fresh produce is super healthy!

For these reasons, I am not a big fan of frozen, processed, industrialized foods…
