About Jump Start Smoothies
Kentucky’s Home for Real Fruit Smoothies and Superfood Bowls
Jump Start Smoothies is a locally owned smoothie shop and juice bar serving Louisville, Lexington, and Prospect, Kentucky. We built this brand on one simple idea: real food should taste incredible and make you feel even better. Every smoothie, every acai bowl, and every bite on our menu starts with real, fresh fruit – no artificial flavors, no fake sweeteners, no shortcuts.
Our tagline says it all: Jump Start Your Day with a Real Fruit Smoothie or Smoothie Bowl. Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast before work, fueling up after a workout, or sitting down for a relaxed weekend bowl with friends, we’re your spot for a genuinely healthy, genuinely delicious experience.
We have three locations across Kentucky: our NuLu Louisville location at 808 E Market St in the heart of one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods, our Lexington location at 535 S Upper St near the University of Kentucky campus and the Distillery District, and our Prospect location at 6308 Meeting St. Each shop carries our full menu of smoothies, acai bowls, dragon fruit bowls, smoothie bowls, breakfast items, toasts, sandwiches, and catering services.
