“We’ve had an incredible time meeting people in Austin since opening, and we’re excited to invite even more of the community to discover Fresh Monkee,” said Pablo Vidal, Owner of Fresh Monkee Austin. “Our biggest challenge is getting people to try us for the first time. Once they discover that a protein shake can be fresh, filling, nutritious and genuinely delicious, they understand what makes us different. This Grand Opening is our opportunity to introduce that experience to as many Austinites as possible.”
MORE THAN A GRAND OPENING: BUILDING COMMUNITY
Since opening, Fresh Monkee Austin has been actively connecting with local running clubs, fitness studios, University of Texas students, Austin Community College and neighborhood organizations.
Located steps from Shoal Creek Trail and near Pease Park, House Park Stadium and downtown Austin’s fitness community, the store aims to become a convenient destination for post-workout recovery, quick meals, protein coffee and everyday nutrition.
“We want Fresh Monkee to become part of Austin’s daily routine,” Vidal added. “Whether you’re finishing a morning run, heading to class, taking a break from work or looking for a satisfying meal on the go, we want to be your neighborhood spot. The Grand Opening is just the beginning of the relationships we’re building here.”
FRESH PROTEIN SHAKES, MADE TO ORDER
Unlike traditional smoothies or ready-to-drink protein beverages, Fresh Monkee prepares every shake fresh using ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, nut butters, milk and non-dairy alternatives, seeds and whey or plant-based protein.
Menu favorites include the chocolate-and-peanut-butter-inspired Chunkee Monkee, fruit-forward Blueberry Pie, tropical Maui Colada, nutrient-packed Ultimate Green, and Iced Protein Coffee, which delivers 38 grams of protein and just 2 grams of sugar in a 32-ounce serving.
With customizable protein options and a menu designed for a variety of lifestyles, Fresh Monkee offers an alternative for breakfast, lunch, post-workout recovery or a satisfying snack.
