Walk outside the back door of Anuttara Yoga Shala and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Be it the hidden oasis, the bright splashes of paint, or simple reprieve from an intense 90 minute yoga class, one thing is for certain: Joyfull, the new smoothie and soft serve bar located in the same area, is sure to bring a smile on your face.

Notably, Joyfull’s soft-serve vegan ice cream is the only oat milk-based product in the Delray Beach area and is free of gluten, corn syrup, alcohols, and artificial flavors. Topping choices include cauliflower pretzels, chocolate chips made with coconut sugar, grain-free granola as well as gluten and sugar-free housemade cookie dough and brownies. As if that wasn’t enough, Joyfull also strives to use as many organic ingredients as possible.

Also on the menu are SuperLattes (both hot or iced), SuperBowls (Ex. Açaí bowls), SuperShots, and PowerBoosts, which can be used with any menu item and boast tonics to improve Brain & Mood as well as herbs for Protection & Immunity.

Try the Berry Good Time, intended for Strength & Centering. Made with banana, strawberries, raspberries, mango, beet powder, coconut nectar and coconut water, it’s a refreshing treat reminiscent of summer time. Or choose You Blue My Mind for Clarity & Communication. Created with banana, blue spirulina, butterfly pea powder, maca, housemade nut butter, cinnamon, protein powder, coconut nectar and oat milk, it’s the perfect follow up to a yoga class, conveniently located a few feet away. For a tropical treat, try Coco NUTZ for Serenity & Connectivity. It contains coconut, banana, date syrup, ginger, cinnamon and coconut water.

Available for private events, the multi-acre area boasts a space for stage set up, koi pond, swing carousel, fire pit, hammocks and multiple seating areas.

Joyfull is fun, cozy, whimsical, tranquil and, dare I say, joyful. If you do decide to stop by, do as the sign says: Choose Joy.
