FAQ

we believe that organic, raw juices are the best fuel for our body. Its consumption will make us a more biologically efficient. juicing offers many life-enhancing health benefits including a faster, more efficient way to absorb immune boosting nutrients naturally found in fruits and vegetables.  it provides a way to access digestive enzymes typically locked away in the fiber matrix of whole fruits and vegetables.  you must have enzymes in order to digest proteins. most commercial juices are processed and lacking in nutrition while freshly juiced fruits and vegetables are loaded with an abundance of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

drinking fresh juice can help us adopt healthier eating patterns.  for those of us who do not traditionally consume many fruits and vegetables, incorporating fresh juice can be a fun and different approach to increasing consumption of these important plant foods for improved health and wellness and reaching your weight loss goals.

cold pressed describes a method of juice extraction. the mac daddy of all cold press juicers is the norwalk press. the press has two separate juice extraction machines built into it: the triturator and the 3 ton hydraulic press. harder veggies and fruits are first pulverized into a pulp using a slow spinning blade. the pulp is then wrapped in a cloth and pressed, extracting live juice and preserving maximum amounts of vitamins, enzymes, minerals and trace minerals. the flavor and quality of the juice is unequaled by any other juice extraction. it taste cleaner and crisper.

in contrast to the slow working norwalk machines, the centrifugal juicer extraction method involves a high speed cutting blade and strainer that heats the produce and causes oxidation, destroying vital nutrients, and leaving much of the liquid in the pulp. the juice needs to be consumed as soon as you make it with a centrifugal juicer because of the oxidation that occurs. the juice is not as nutrient rich and not as yummy on the tummy.

because air is not forced into the juice during extraction, cold pressed juices will keep for up to three to five days, without oxidizing or losing nutritional integrity, with proper refrigeration. 

we use USDA certified organic produce and organic superfood powders in our smoothies.

NO and NO!! our juices are made fresh in house daily. they go straight from our juicers, into the bottles and into our fridges for you to grab, go and enjoy! they are completely raw and full of living enzymes and packed full of nutrients and minerals. you get the real deal drinking our raw, organic juices!

you get a significant amount of protein from plants rich in amino acids. here are some great plants high in protein: dark leafy greens, quinoa, legumes, broccoli, cauliflower, almonds, hemp and chia seeds, avocado and parsley. our green juices contain an average of 7 grams of protein!

our raw juice contains trace amounts of water soluble and non-soluble fiber. this allows the nutrients in the juice to be absorbed in the bloodstream more quickly. when you are on a juice cleanse, your body really needs minimal amounts of fiber because you are replacing it with the water from the juice. if, however, you are supplementing a meal with a juice, or two, throughout the day, you will want to get the fiber you need by eating whole fruits and vegetables.

we juice daily (period… amen).

greens will last 3 days, root juices 4 days, citrus based and almond milks 5 days.

if you are eating nutrient-rich foods versus food that is processed or high in refined carbs, this will have different effects on the body. healthy, nutrient-rich foods will keep your hunger in check, help maintain stable blood sugar levels, minimize cravings, and enable your brain to send signals to your tummy that it’s full. nutrient-poor foods will have the opposite effect, wreaking havoc, spiking insulin, setting off cravings, slowing the feeling of being full and encouraging overeating. nutrient dense foods help keep weight in check naturally. stop counting calories…just start adding plenty of fruits and veggies to your diet, cut out the processed and refined doo doo and your body will take care of itself! 

we do not add sweeteners to any of our cold pressed juices. our milks are lightly sweetened with dates or organic maple syrup. some of our smoothies are sweetened with raw, organic cane sugar that contains stevia….so we use very little…around a teaspoon full. we also offer stevia, honey, coconut oil or dates as a substitution.

sugar occurs naturally in fruit and is vital part of muscular strength and energy. fruit is a key source of vitamins. fruit juice, squeezed or solid, is very cleansing to the body. fruit juice will not spike blood sugar levels. it will raise blood sugar levels but it levels off very quickly in most people. you have to remember that you are not drinking a sugary soda with 12 teaspoons of refined sugar added. that is terrible for your body. fruit juice is a naturally occurring sugar that is beneficial to you and your health.

if you are used to eating raw foods such as salads, carrots, celery, etc., you should be just fine drinking our “salads in a bottle” so to speak. we take every sanitary precaution to ensure our product is super safe. but ,we are not doctors, so if you have any questions or concerns about drinking raw, unpasteurized juices, please consult with your physician first.

our juice bottles are BPA free and recyclable. our smoothie cups, food containers and utensils are biodegradable and compostable. in a grab and go business, using plastic is the only reasonable option, as so many customers come in and grab 5, 10, 20 juices and food items and it would make it almost impossible to carry….and glass breaks…which is not good for our customers or us. if you do not have a place to recycle, we are happy to recycle our juice bottles for you.

genuine organic ingredients and non-pasteurized products are expensive to procure and maintain.

the primary reason raw juice and raw foods are expensive is because raw organic produce is expensive. also, cold pressed juicing is very labor intensive and requires a large team of folks to produce compared to other juicing methods. thank you for your consideration and for supporting juice junkies.
