Smoothie Garden, a wellness-focused smoothie shop, is slated to land this spring at 7994 Riviera Boulevard in Miramar, bringing smoothies, healthy snacks and nutritionist-backed meal plans to the neighborhood. Owner Jamil Hunter says the concept will merge his fitness background with hospitality to cater to gym-goers, young people and seniors.
Hunter, who has experience in football, track and boxing, told What Now Miami that he grew up around the restaurant business and envisions Smoothie Garden as "a one-stop shop for mindful eating." He plans to fill the space with colorful murals that evoke a tropical garden, aiming for a relaxed, neighborhood vibe rather than a strict health club atmosphere.
Opening timeline and format
Hunter is targeting a spring opening, and a recent local business roundup reported he is now aiming for an early May debut after earlier timelines slipped. The shop is expected to lean on a takeout-first format centered on wellness-focused offerings, according to Business Debut.
Menu and catering
Smoothie Garden plans to pour a lineup of smoothies alongside healthy snacks, salads, wraps and sandwiches. Hunter says the shop will feature meal plans developed in collaboration with nutritionists, intended for customers who want more structured support. The business also intends to offer catering services, including custom charcuterie boards, for offices and events, according to What Now Miami.
From Jacksonville roots
According to the company, Smoothie Garden began in Jacksonville as a mobile smoothie operation that served local events and pop-ups. The brand lists Jacksonville as its base and highlights a focus on fresh, real ingredients, positioning the Miramar storefront as an expansion beyond its event-driven model. More details are available on the Smoothie Garden website.
What Miramar residents can expect
Miramar already features national smoothie chains and independent juice bars, so Smoothie Garden will be stepping into a crowded but active market for quick health-oriented options. Local Smoothie King locations show steady demand for fast, protein-forward drinks in the area, giving Smoothie Garden a clear benchmark for how it might carve out its place on Riviera Boulevard.
