Drink Clean, Feel Great: Everything You Need to Know About Cold-Pressed Juice

Drink Clean, Feel Great: Everything You Need to Know About Cold-Pressed Juice

Feb 4, 2025

Cold-pressed juice is best explained as better health in a bottle! Whether you’re grabbing a bottle for a quick energy boost or planning a full juice cleanse, they’re a delicious and healthy way to boost your wellness.

At Jugo, our juices are packed with essential nutrients, naturally delicious flavors, and none of the additives that you find in mainstream juice brands. Here’s a quick guide to everything you need to know about cold-pressed juice:

What is Cold-Pressed Juice?

Cold-pressed juice is made using an advanced machine called a hydraulic press to extract juice from fruits and vegetables. This method keeps nutrients, enzymes, and natural flavors intact, unlike traditional methods that use heat or oxygen, which ultimately ruin the quality of your juice.

Why Choose Cold-Pressed?

Nutrient-Dense

Fresh Flavor

Clean Label

Packed with more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than your typical juice. No heat means the pure, natural taste of the produce shines through. No additives, no preservatives, just real ingredients.

Whether you’re looking for a post-workout refresher, a trick to get your greens and fruits in with your meals, or a snack replacement to curb cravings, cold-pressed juice is the perfect drink to reach for.

How to Do a Juice Cleanse (Safely)

Thinking about a juice cleanse? It’s important to practice healthy wellness habits when considering a juice cleanse. Here are some quick tips for you:

    1. Prep Your Body: A few days before starting, reduce caffeine, sugar, and processed foods.
    1. Choose Your Duration: Start with a 1-3 day cleanse if you’re new. You can safely do up to 5 days, but we recommend incorporating protein smoothies or other sources of nutrients into your diet if you choose a longer cleanse.
    1. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water alongside the juices.
    1. Pace Yourself: Timing matters. Maintain your energy levels by spacing your juices every 2-3 hours.
    1. Listen to Your Body: If you feel overly fatigued or unwell, eat a small, light snack, prioritizing protein.
    1. Ease Back In: Post-cleanse, reintroduce solid foods gradually, starting with fruits and vegetables.

Quick Cold-Pressed Juice FAQ

Q: Are these juices kid-friendly?

Yes, cold-pressed juices are safe for kids. Our Jugo juices are made from fresh, natural ingredients without added sugars or preservatives, so children 1 year and older can enjoy cold-pressed juices in moderation!

Q: How long do the juices stay fresh?

Cold-pressed juices typically stay fresh for 3-5 days when kept refrigerated at or below 40°F (4°C). Because they contain no preservatives, it’s best to consume them as soon as possible for optimal flavor and nutrition. Always check the expiration date and give the juice a quick sniff or taste if it’s nearing the end of its shelf life.

Q: Can I replace a meal with cold-pressed juice?

Cold-pressed juice can be a refreshing and nutrient-packed addition to your diet, but it’s not a complete meal. While juices provide vitamins, minerals, and hydration, they typically lack the protein, healthy fats, and fiber your body needs for sustained energy and fullness.

You can definitely cut solid foods for a day or two when doing a juice cleanse, but consult your doctor before committing to longer detox periods. If you’re looking to replace a meal, consider pairing your juice with a small snack like nuts, yogurt, or a hard-boiled egg to round out the nutrition. Alternatively, use it as a supplement to enhance your meal, not as a substitute.
