General FAQ
What Does Cold-Pressing Mean?
Cold-pressed Juice is an advanced way of juicing that retains the most nutrient value. In the chopping process there is no heating or oxidation of the produce. The produce is then “pressed” by a hydraulic press to completely yield the most amount of juice. In doing so, the juice retains the highest amount of vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals from the vegetables and fruits. Thus, Cold-Pressed Juice is by far the most nutrient dense juicing product.
What Does Organic Mean?
Organic means that it is grown without chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. We use an organic-first philosophy where we will always use organic ingredients when they are available.
How Long Will My Juice Last?
Cold-pressing is a raw process that ensures the most nutritious and live juice possible. Our juice will taste best when consumed in the first 72-96 hours, but depending on the ingredients, our juice can last from 3 to 7 days. Juices with a low pH last longer, so we try to ensure all our juices have as low of pH as possible. When storing the juice, make sure that it is stored under 40 degrees.
What Does Raw Juice Mean?
Raw juice means that it has not been subjected to high temperatures when being juiced, and that it has not been pasteurized or treated with high pressure processing (HPP). All of these processes have a negative impact on the quality and nutrition of the juice, so we leave them out.
How Many Calories are in your products?
While counting calories is the easiest way to track your food consumption, we are highly against it as a method of health. Most people are conditioned to think less calories means healthier, but that is not always the case as most low calorie food is food replacement or fake.
When making recipes, we keep calories in mind, but we think about the quality of the ingredients first and foremost. We value highly nutritious foods which contain vitamins, minerals, enzymes and fiber, with some containing more calories than others. We also encourage an active life which burns off any extra calories consumed!
Our juice and smoothies contain anywhere from 100-500 calories depending on the ingredients. Each recipe has a nutritional information card on the product page.
Is The Sugar In Your Smoothies and Juice Bad For Me?
Our juice and smoothies are raw, so they contain naturally occurring sugars that are extracted from the ingredients in the pressing process, or when blended together in a blender. These sugars come with live enzymes, antioxidants, and other nutrients that you would get from eating the raw fruit or vegetable. The sugar that is often associated processed store bought juice contains little nutrition and all sugar.
What Are Antioxidants
Antioxidants are different vitamins, minerals, and enzymes which fight cellular damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are formed by unhealthy habits such as smoking, pollution, alcohol, and toxins. Antioxidants do this by giving electrons to the free radicals and neutralizing them.
Can Fats Really Be Healthy?
While most of us have lived in a world where fat is to be avoided at all costs, new research is coming out which suggests not all fat is bad. While artery-clogging trans fats has long been the culprit of heart disease, there are Monounsaturated Fats which actually aid in health and when consumed in moderation have many benefits. We just have to beat the stereotype of the word.
What Does Anti-Inflammatory Mean?
Inflammation is a protective mechanism by the body against infection, illness or injury. Constant inflammation can overwork the immune system and can be a major cause of disease.
What The Heck Is A SuperFood?
We probably would’ve went with something less whimsical, but yes, superfoods are exactly what they sound like. Physicians and nutrition experts agree that eating a variety of colorful fruits, vegetables, plants, and nuts is key to good health. Superfoods are foods which have been identified as strong sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and nutrients.
Where Is The Nutritional Information?
The nutritional information for each smoothie and juice can be found in each product’s dedicated page or slide out information tab.

Will I Lose Weight?
Juice cleansing and drinking regular juice is more about nutrition and health goals rather than losing weight. In our opinion, losing weight does not equate with health. However, most people find that they lose a few pounds because of the healthy lifestyle.
How Much Sugar is in This?
Since the juice is from fruits, there are natural sugars in the juice. Since it is natural juice it will help you feel refreshed and aware instead of hyper like fake sugar tends to make us feel. We choose quantities of vegetables and fruits in each juice to make sure they are not loaded up with sugar, but this might not be great for diabetics.
What are Cleansing Side Effects?
Cleanses cause toxins to be released from the body so this can lead someone to experience headaches, irritability, skin eruptions, achy muscles or cold- and flu-like symptoms. By drinking a lot of water and getting rest you can reduce or eliminate them. It also might be normal to not go to the bathroom for a day or two. Eating chia seeds can help with the flow of bathroom activity.
