has always been about more than what’s in the cup. As a Blue Zones Approved Restaurant, they’re leaning into two principles that matter now more than ever. Positive Pack and Friends at 5.

As they shift away from daily walk in hours, IceCapade is creating intentional Community Days designed to bring people together. Time to slow down, connect with neighbors, and share a moment over something sweet. These gatherings are about belonging. Showing up for one another. And remembering that community is a powerful ingredient for well being.

The Blue Zones Project Jacksonville team showed up this week in support of Be Safe. Be Seen. Awareness Week alongside Duval County Public Schools.

From crazy socks and bold shoes to bright colors and reflective gear, our team leaned into the reminder that visibility matters. Whether walking, biking, or driving, being seen helps keep our neighbors safe and reinforces how small choices can make a real difference in our streets and school communities.

Grateful to be part of a week that puts safety, awareness, and people first.

A new year is a chance to eat with intention and support places that make healthy choices easier.

Blue Zones Approved Restaurants are local spots that have worked directly with our team on aligning their restaurant with Blue Zones principles, offering menus that emphasize vegetables, whole foods, and thoughtful preparation without sacrificing flavor or culture.

Blue Boys Sandwich Shop and 1 Foxy Lady Cafe are just two examples. View all of the Blue Zones Approved Restaurants across Jacksonville, each making it easier to live better, longer on our website at BlueZonesProjectJacksonville.com/Places
