| Ultimate Nutrition Guide | Green Hills Nutrition Is Helping Nashville Sip Smarter

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Finding a healthy drink that delivers on both nutrition and flavor isn’t always easy. That’s exactly what Green Hills Nutrition set out to change. Known for its protein-packed shakes, energizing loaded teas and wellness-focused specialty drinks, the locally owned shop has become a go-to destination for those looking to fuel their day without sacrificing taste. As part of Nashville Fit Magazine’s Ultimate Nutrition Guide, we sat down with owner Angela Elliot to learn how a passion for better ingredients, family and community helped turn Green Hills Nutrition into a Nashville favorite. The story on its opening might shock you!

How did Green Hills Nutrition come about? Origin story?

Green Hills Nutrition was created with two simple goals in mind: to bring people together through delicious and nutritious drinks and to provide a safe and engaging work environment for my daughter, Ava. (mom, can you buy me an eatery too?!)

Why is wellness important to you? Any personal experiences?

Wellness is extremely important to me because i’ve always valued fueling my body with good ingredients. The older I get, the more protein I need in order to energize and fulfill me. Also, who doesn’t need a boost of extra energy?

Favorite menu item and why?

My personal favorite drink on the menu is the Forever Young Specialty Drink. The combination of protein, collagen, vitamins, and caffeine create the perfect meal replacement on the go! An incredible balance of sweetness and tartness, the Forever Young is my ideal drink of choice.

What does it mean to you to have created a new popular wellness and nutritious spot in Middle Tennessee?

To me, Green Hills Nutrition has been an extremely humbling and rewarding experience. Despite the stress of opening and owning a small business, seeing people incorporate Green Hills Nutrition into their daily routine makes it all worth while.

Outside of the business, what are some of your favorite ways to recharge and practice self-care?

Outside of Green Hills Nutrition, I enjoy hot yoga, traveling, fishing, hiking, or really anything that involves the outdoors and my family. Although finding a balance between my personal life and work has been difficult, I have learned that even small acts of self-care have the ability to recharge my battery.

Wellness trends seem to change constantly. How do you stay true to your mission while continuing to innovate?

At Green Hills Nutrition, we are constantly adding and creating new drinks while simultaneously staying true to my mission of providing healthy and tasty drinks. From serving daily customers, students, healthcare workers, community events, and more, Green Hills Nutrition has always been more than just a fun drink. It is about creating a space for people to stop in and leave feeling better than when they arrived. (& we do!)
