Raw Thirst

Being a vegetable/​fruit lover this stall is great.
On my first visit they were quite busy. They let me know it would be a 10 minute wait, which turned into a 25 minute wait. They were quite apologetic about it, but it was a 30 degree day and I was so invested in my juice I waited. I had to leg it half way across town to in the heat to make it to a meeting in time.
BUT thankfully I had a delicious refreshing juice to cool me down.
I got the vegetable juice. Carrot, cucumber and a number of other vegetables. It was a great balance and not over-​powered by carrot which can be a tendency for vegetable juice.
Overall great place to grab a juice, just make sure there’s not too much of a lineup if you need to be somewhere

I’m usually at TAFE when Raw Thirst are in the CBD, but on the occasions that I am around I hunt them down. They’re a bit like Boost, they do smoothies, juices, etc. But they’re a bit different, because instead of all of those unknown froyos and sorbets (there’s actually a sorbet flavoured sorbet at Boost that is just ‘neutral’) Raw Thirst just use delicious fruits and veggies.
There are plenty of different juices & smoothies, and if you’re one who can’t handle drinking your veg, don’t worry. There are lots which are fruit only too.
They hang around the usual food truck haunts, which means you can sometimes grab a drink from here while enjoying a burger or taco from another food truck. They also do coffees, and all round ar a pretty swish ‘drink’ truck.
Personally I’m currently a fan of their brekkie smoothie, and the alkalizer smoothie. There’s something about the alkalizer being so green and supposedly healthy, just it just makes you feel good. ;)

There is some kind of Raw Alkelizer thing. It tastes like some kind of superlative green fluid. Get it in your face.
In other news, if you ask for a large, they will give you a serious large. Good value too.

I am what I am, I’m a bit of a Pop Eye The Sailor Man when it comes to spinach. I love spinach. Morning, noon and night, get that green stuff in my belly.
Unfortunately I’ve never been game enough to be one of those «Green Smoothie» health nuts. Savoury and sweets go together in the way you eat dinner and then dessert — and even then sometimes that’s taking it too far.
Well Raw Thirst I don’t know if you’re a cult but somehow you have converted me for your RAW Alkalizer juice. Who would have thunk it? Apple, Pear, Celery, Avocado, Banana and Spinach make for a damn fine refreshing juice! And if you’re not convinced these guys will always have tasters available on their counter for you to try and decide whether you can handle a bit of the mean greens in your juice.
Raw Thirst makes the most of the food truck revolution in a positive way. Bringing no additives, no yoghurt, no ice cream, just juice — RAW juice to the people. How can just fruit and veg blended together be so good? Because it comes from a van? I don’t know but get it in you!
These guys don’t do a bad coffee either but really their star of the show is their juices — morning and afternoon.
Rumour has it there are some food items coming but so far they have well-​placed themselves next to La Cantina and Burger Theory so that after gorging on the good but not really «good for you» food you fake «detox» yourself with one of their juices!
PS — If you have a thing for guys with British accents (not like I do or anything) the guy serving at Raw Thirst is a bit of a UK cutie (ssshhh don’t tell!)
