Founders of The Hut Smoothie and Juice Bar: Managing Relationships, Standing out from the Ordinary, and Staying Authentic

The Hut Smoothie & Juice Bar

You may know these sisters for taking over the Muskoka wellness market with their popular smoothie bars, or for their latest venture, opening a permanent location of The Hut in Toronto. 

Founded in 2020, Sydney and Ashley started The Hut as a small smoothie stand which has now evolved into a full-service establishment. The Hut offers a variety of beverages, food items and a retail space.

In this week’s episode, we sit down with the Hut girls to take a behind-the-scenes look at the journey of launching The Hut. We discuss everything—from overcoming challenges like balancing start-up demands with personal life to staying ahead of changing wellness trends.

 The Hut Smoothie and juice bar not only has a 10/10 menu, but their store also has the vibes. Weather you’re looking for a place to sit and do work, or to go an browse your favourite healthy snacks, this is the spot. For any of the TO locals, picture coco market x smoothie bar. Abby and I immediately spotted our favourite goods at their location, they have Cymbitotica, Siete, Ripe bone broth, Bink water bottles (Abby and I want one SO bad) and soooo much more. We highly recommend stopping by, for your next smoothie or to restock on the essentials.

Abby and I really enjoyed recording with the Hut girls, as we share a similar experience, starting something we are passionate about with our sisters, AKA our built in best friends <3.

 The insider takeaways from the recording:

“If you put your mind to something and you really want it and are passionate about it, no matter what people say, you can do it.”

“Social Media is a highlight reel of people’s lives” - So let’s just say, take the content we see every day with a grain of salt.

Don’t let peoples doubts in your success get to you, use it to fuel the motivation and fire within.

Ashley’s go to smoothie, tropical sunshine (the ingredients: strawberries, mango, honey, coconut water, freshly squeezed orange juice)
