TJS Fall Menu Debut

By

Anyone who knows anything about juiceries that press only organic produce has likely come down with a case of the OSF.

We call it the Oh Shit Feeling.

Ring a bell? It’s the overwhelming sensation of your world crashing to a screeching halt disappointment when you realize your favorite juice or nut milk is out of stock, or otherwise predisposed and can’t be served for whatever lame-o reason a juicery’s doling out that day.

Happens to the best of us. It sucks. But.

Sometimes it happens beecause a new flavor is so hot, a company hasn’t had the chance to nail the right production sked. Sometimes, it’s beecause a produce shipment hasn’t arrived. As some of you may know, for us here at The Juice Standard, California’s summer weather was tough on watermelons which really effed our ability to press pinky-hued juices until crops did better. Then, pineapple was lousy. 

And ‘round and ‘round the cold-pressed carousel goes….

Yet, you stayed with us. Even during your dark and ashen OSF days (oh, we hope they were infrequent). So now, as summer languidly turns to fall, there are exciting things to tout on our steady, yet-ever-changing menu.

 

BEE CHILL and BEE KIND are BEE GONE

It’s time to wave bye to BEE KIND ’til next season (carrot, watermelon, lemon, ginger) and grab BEE CHILL while you can (watermelon, cucumber, lemon) until we officially break up with one of our favorite seasonal sweethearts (watermelon) to make room for other bottles of awesomeness. Since we have no plans to torch the recipes, don’t fret. Like Ahnold (The Donald’s replacement on The Apprentice, we hear?), they’ll bee back. Next season.

grateful-back

BEE GRATEFUL is BEEYOND BEE-AUTIFUL

Yep: BEE GRATEFUL is once again gracing lips thanks to the happy return of organic pineapple that doesn’t make us pucker. We’d yanked it from the lineup; now, we’re re-pressing this sun-in-a-bottle combo of carrot, pineapple, apple, lemon, and ginger. And with cold and flu season on approach, this is a mighty tasty way to get extra vitamin C.

 

JUICE DEBUT: BEE THE [SOUL]UTION

Mark your calendars, Bees: In the next two weeks we’ll be debuting a brand new flavor that we’ve been itching to share. Cool name, right? Recipe’s even cooler. Check Facebook and Insta for news in weeks to come.

 

HARVEST SPICE BEE INVINCIBLE ANSWERS FALL’S COFFEE-SWIGGING PRAYERS

Starbucks may have set the standard for our clockwork, seasonal coffee cravings, but it sure doesn’t have the corner on the healthiest way to fill them. If you ever wondered how to get all the fall fancy your mouth desires—sweetness and spice and all ingredients nice—Marcella’s HARVEST SPICE BEE INVINCIBLE fits the bill with zero artificiality. Come sip for yourself: organic espresso, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, ginger, raw agave, house-made pumpkin puree and coconut oil with your choice of grassfed butter or ghee. Launching Oct. 3.

 

HOW ‘BOUT THAT CHEWING MENU?

Marcella and Jamie thought it high time to add chewables to accent TJS’s selection of sippers. If you haven’t been to the shops yet, here they are:

 

NutMilks-for-Chia

CHIA SEED PUDDINGS

TJS’s best-selling nut milks are combined with organic chia seeds—ancient grains filled with amino acids and clean protein—for your chewing pleasure. Grab a juice and a pudding, and enjoy a healthy snack or meal replacement with your BFF (that’s Bees’ Friend Forever). 

Flavors include ChocoChia (made with Bee Happy); ChaiChia (made with Bee Legendary); and HorCHIAata (made with Bee Magnificent)

 

SALADS, WRAPS + SNACKS

How does it get any better than pairing a TJS drink with a healthy, organic nosh? Whether your chewable produce is plated (salad), portable (wrap), or something to satisfy your sweet teeth…fill up with us any time.

  • Fresh Field Greens Salad (or the salad packed in a sun-dried tomato wrap) includes your choice of three dressings and add-ons of power-packed hemp or chia seeds.
  • Greek Yogurt Parfait combines vanilla yogurt, granola and seasonal fruit.
  • Banana Leathers with Cashew-Walnut Butter make chewy strips of organic banana the main event; then they’re spread with our in-house, made-with-love nut butter for a sweet, satisfying protein-packed brain food snack. Finally: “Real” leather that’s fit for vegans.

Friends Who Juice: Tim Hancock

By

Folks who juice are sexy, no? So are our Friends Who Juice. Which means so is Tim Hancock, a Vegas-based photog/creative director who makes magic behind the lens while ensuring what passes his lips is pure. (We’re talking juice, People. Or are we…?)  

Talkin’ About Tim Tim-Hancock-Humble-Bee-2015

In my experience, the biggest misconception about living in Las Vegas is…that all the young professionals here are party animals or conditioned to habits that revolve around, sex, drugs, alcohol, and gambling. That morals and discipline just don’t exist. I am proof of the contrary: I’m focused on an active and healthy lifestyle while staying creative in my line of work.

(…but, the thing I secretly love most about living here is…) that we live in a city that is curated for hospitality. The benefits of that include that retail shops are open late, and there are top-notch spa and dining experiences and unlimited choices in entertainment. So there is never a dull moment on a day off.

My daily mantra or “quote to live by” is…”Put good in and you’ll get good out.” Eating healthy, staying spiritually active, and finding ways to enhance the lives of people around me are ways that I daily contribute to “putting in the good.”

Don’t get me started talking about…The Juice Standard! It is so, so very good (especially since I hate the idea of chomping down on lettuce and veggies). I’d much rather drink a Bee WHealthy™ every day!

Every day I strive to…plant seeds ahead of present day. So many people are out there looking for instant gratification. Not me. I have found the favorable life looking toward future gratification. By nurturing relationships, habits, and projects that pay off in the months or years to come.

Something people would be shocked to know about me is…I am actually adopted into a family that is a totally different ethnicity than me! No matter how different we are, I couldn’t have asked for a better home and parents.

A fave Vegas spot that never gets old is…the movies! I’m so into production, scripts and escaping the world through film.

The health habit I get teased about the most is…no fish. I just cannot stand the smell of fish, let alone bring myself to eat one. But give me a lobster and butter sauce and I’ll inhale it! It’s odd, I know.


ABOUT TIMOTHY HANCOCK + DLXVRSN (Deluxe version) MediaTim-hancock-Krista-WhiteBW

I’m both a creative director and a photographer. When people ask about my job and what I do every day, this is what I say: Brands are a visual experience, and I build the elements that make a brand recognizable to consumers through art design and photography.

Some of the most exciting projects I’ve ever worked on are…the television show Global Beauty Masters on the Discovery Fit and Health network; and Billionaire Couture USA’s  Las Vegas and Miami clothing stores.

The thing about my personality, or the capability I possess that I’m most thankful for as it relates to my ability to do my job is…listening to someone’s idea and then creating a visual body of work based on my translation of their words.

Being on a red carpet to photograph people makes me feel…as if I have great responsibility to connect the audience of the famed individual with his or her fans. Ultimately, people are people no matter how huge their following is. I am rarely starstruck.

The perk I enjoy most about my work is…the fact that photos build relationships, and when it’s a job well done, the relationships keep growing!

Last year I launched my first magazine called DLXVRSN. Its purpose is to…take the readers into the ultimate version of finer living with over-the top-editorial and celebrity features. At the same time, the publication unravels the talented people and brands that make luxury even possible, with stories about high-caliber professionals and fashionable leaders who are on the rise.

The number one thing I’d tell my younger working self is…“It’s all so worth the person you’re becoming!”

The thing about my work that makes me most proud is…seeing my clients overwhelmed with complete satisfaction! I am good to my clients, and they are constantly looking for the next big project where they can use me.

TIM ON JUICE + TOTAL HEALTHTim-Hancock-Humble-Bee-2015-1

The fruit or vegetable you’ll always find in my pantry is…TJS’s Bee Grateful. It’s my favorite one that I always try to get!

The first time I drank green juice I thought it was…horrible! But I was lying [to myself], and shocked that it was actually delicious!

The first time I realized I loved cold-pressed juice was…when I had the opportunity to film a series of videos with the founders of TJS!

Today, I drink cold-pressed juice because…I feel amazing when my nutrition is amazing, clean and wholesome!

This is how often I drink juice OR do cleanses and when I like to do them:I drink cold-pressed juices weekly to supplement veggies in my diet.

The thing I love about TJS juice is…that it’s mixed just right every time, so it genuinely is the best tasting option!
My advice to a newbee juicer is…You have options. With all the flavors out there, try them all and work them consistently into your daily life!

Who Are The Bees In Our Hive? Meet Annsley Naturals Southwest

By

In the last 5 years there’s been a huge uptick in people caring about where their food comes from. The more we learn, the more we realize that the fewer miles ingredients travel between where they were harvested and where they’re cooked, the more nutritious they are.

Coupled with a renewed effort to return to how food was harvested in the olden-golden days (read: wAnnsleyHoneyNEWithout pesticides), people are also seeking out ingredients grown as organically as possible. So we’re rolling out a new feature format called “Who Are The Bees In Our Hive?” with tidbits and tales about the farmers and purveyors who help us do the good work that we do, like maintaining our No. 1 standard: Stay committed to sourcing organic. Period.

This month, we bring you an interview with our honey supplier, local honey distributor Annsley Naturals Southwest, and some insights shared by its affable, passionate and Renaissance woman-of-an-owner Dee Drenta.

Us (The Humble Bee): Many a honey convo turns to whether honey is organic or not…yet the U.S.D.A. doesn’t really have a protocol for designating honey as such (since those little bees can’t exactly be strapped with GPS’ to track there whereabouts). So putting aside the raw/organic issue, let’s turn to why it’s important to buy honey locally. 

Them (Dee Drenta): In the case of honey, the term “local” means it comes from the same region in which one resides so as to reap the health benefits of the pollination process of the indigenous plants in that region.

In our case, we live in the Mojave Desert and Annsley Naturals Southwest honey, from our desert, offers a flavorful bouquet, texture and color as a result of the pollination of numerous wildflowers…[which] is also why many use it for airborne allergies.

I proudly support our local beekeepers by purchasing regular amounts of bulk honey and constantly boast about their ecological and sustainable practices. In regard to other consumer items, “local” may mean it comes from one’s own town or city, state, region of the country, or country itself. As a small business, I quickly learned the importance of others supporting my local products. I realized it was my responsibility first to provide consistency in my service and product line to prove to them they could rely on me. As a result, sales increased consistently since I became the company owner in 2008 for which I am most grateful, and I have been able to employ both of my grown sons, teaching them while also learning about entrepreneurship, customer service, and the importance of understanding one’s own products as well as packaging and marketing. This education is priceless!

So…buying local creates and maintains jobs!. My family’s individual and collective incomes allow us to circulate our money within our own community, further supporting other jobs, and so on. And, buying local as in the case of Annsley Naturals Southwest local Desert Honey, supports positive ecological philosophies, health and wellness, and financially benefits many local ancillary businesses, further circulating the prosperity and abundance.

Menu-Slider US: Besides allergies, what else can local honey help alleviate?

THEM:  There are a myriad of health benefits from using [local] honey….These benefits also include the facts that honey contains vitamins (all of the B-complex, A, C, D, E and K); minerals and trace elements (magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, iron, calcium, potassium, iodine, sodium, copper and manganese); and proteins, amino acids, carbs, and organic acids. The live enzyme content of honey is one of the highest of all foods.

US: Since we are The Juice Standard, what’s been a guiding gold “standard” for Annsley?

THEM:  I always make it a point to promote family-owned health food stores. Being a small, family-owned business, [and] with Annsley Naturals Southwest specializing in local honey, I understand and appreciate what the independently owned stores regularly provide their customers. They recognize the importance of outstanding customer service and repeat business by building a rapport with their customers based on trust, education and consistency. They take the time to learn about each and every product they carry so that their customers reap the benefits of that knowledge. (Let’s face it, they wouldn’t bring in products that won’t hold their own by selling well!)

I am also very pleased to share how supportive of local vendors some of the more corporate stores are: Whole Foods, Sprouts, Glazier’s and Smith’s. Most often, our products are not only in the honey section, but are also cross-marketed in actual LOCAL sections in these stores. I believe this is a most positive and supportive gesture on their part to strengthen our community in many ways.

sugar-scrubUS: Last one. What’s one way honey has personally improved your life?

Here’s a little secret: I keep a jar of my honey in the refrigerator to purposely crystallize it so I can use it as the most divine sugar scrub on my face and body!

Friends Who Juice: Victoria Hogan

By

Flora Pop founder Victoria Hogan—who just happens to be TJS’s resident Flower Goddess, supplying our stores with weekly vases of beauty—depends on bees more than most: Those black-and-yellow buzzers are responsible for pollinating the very beeauty with which she works. Learn about Victoria, her affinity for juice, her reverence for farming, and what she loves about helping folks tie the knot.

All About Victoriaimage12

I’ve lived…all over the Southern United States, but spent the majority of my time in Alabama, and I moved to Las Vegas to stay in…2008 (with a short stint in NYC that ultimately brought me back for good).

What brought me to Las Vegas was…graduate school. I attended UNLV beginning in 2008 to obtain my Master of Fine Arts degree. It was an extremely influential experience that aided in the development of Flora Pop, because it taught me to be a dynamic problem solver and think outside of what’s typically expected from an artist or “florist” or “gardener.”

In my experience, the biggest misconception about living in Las Vegas is…that the Strip is the only place that exists and that people don’t really live here! “No, we don’t live in casinos!” and “No, everyone isn’t a blackjack dealer!” But the thing I secretly love most about living here is…It’s no secret: I absolutely love the surrounding natural landscapes. I appreciate the ability to get lost in Valley of Fire, or hike in Mt. Charleston during the warmer summer months. And, not to mention, the ever-amazing community that continues to grow here. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and bright, it’s nice to be around such creativity.

My daily mantra or “quote to live by” is…I can’t emphasis this enough: “Fake it ‘til you make it!” and “Positivity will take you far.”

If I had to pick a theme song for my life it would be…Coal Miner’s Daughter by Loretta Lynn. Humble beginnings have kept me grounded and thankful of everything I have accomplished.

Don’t get me started talking about…my hobbies…probably. Having grown up in rural Alabama I found numerous ways to entertain myself. I helped my grandfather build houses, herd cattle and plant huge watermelon patches. You know, these “hobbies” of mine eventually found their way into my adult and work lives.

I would say that when I began playing with flowers and gardening, it was for sheer enjoyment and creative expression. One day, I decided to make it my career and the pop-up wedding aspect of my business just sort of fell into place. All in all, anything that involves traveling or meeting new folks will probably have me talking a mile a minute!image5

Every day I strive to…be better than I was the day before. To challenge myself in a new way, or try something I’ve never done before.

A place I love is…Asheville, North Carolina. My favorite aunt has lived there for over 15 years. It’s this beautiful, quaint, artistic liberal bubble in the otherwise saturated Bible Belt. There is huge emphasis on environmental rights and using locally grown and sourced foods. Although I’m not a vegetarian or vegan, if you are, this place is a haven for you. Annie, my aunt, owns and operates a small dahlia and goat farm. I guess these sorts of traits run in the family! If I were ever to move back South, this is where I’d want to be. Blue Ridge Mountains, comfort food, and a wonderful small-town spirit.

Looking back on it now as an adult, I can say that the influence my granddad’s Alabama farm had on my adult life is…it has made me so appreciative! Especially when it comes to organic farming. Take, for example, his pig farm. Pigs are such intellectual creatures that have distinct personalities and apparent emotions. After becoming attached to almost all of them (especially as a child), when it came time for their slaughter it was quite emotional for me. How best to honor their lives than to do it humanely. And then, how to prepare the meat? Think: After raising a piglet from birth to its final days, you wouldn’t even think about leaving that chop on the grill unattended. What if it got burned! Then, after months of coddling, it would have been for nothing. I believe experiences like these have made me very mindful about my impact on the environment and have allowed me to cherish every action or emotion that I can.

About Flora Pop

When people ask about my job and what I do every day, I tell them…that I do pop-up weddings. I typically get a very perplexed look and a, “Well, what is that exactly?” Well, I have a teardrop trailer that serves as my mobile chapel. I bring elaborate flowers, wedding cake doughnuts and Champagne; and to top it off, I image1can legally make your marriage official. There is a tiny bit of planning involved. But the nature of my business takes the headache, cost and worry out of the process. I like to think that the couples I work with put more effort into their honeymoon plans. (Which, let’s face it, that’s the best part!) My ceremonies are about the couple and the love that they share. “Getting hitched” has taken on a whole new meaning!

Victoria-NL-Header

The work I do for The Juice Standard is…so close to my heart! Jamie and Marcella are two of my very best friends. When I do flowers for them, I always feel extremely lucky to be adding flora to this beautiful business that they’ve created together. I find inspiration from seasonal produce and sometimes incorporate that into their arrangements. I never make the same thing twice!

I decided to launch FloraPop because…after a floral shop opened in the area that I had worked so hard to call my own, I was challenged to look at my life and career from a different perspective. Instead of giving up, I brainstormed really hard for almost two weeks after I learned the news about the new shop (a floral shop was my dream and it got taken out from under me). I had already started building the Teardrop to be my roadside flower stand, but something still wasn’t sitting right with me. It’s too hot in Vegas to try to sell flowers in the summer and there just isn’t enough foot traffic, like when I lived in New York.

One day, the light bulb went off: I live in the wedding capital of the world! I can be an all-inclusive mobile wedding company. Nobody was doing it, [so] I had a blank canvas to experiment as I saw fit. Now, I can’t thank that flower shop enough. It pushed me to stand outside of myself and become what I feel I was destined to do.

image4Marrying people makes me feel…so happy! And, grateful for true love. The fact that these people chose me to honor one of the milestones in their lives is truly a gift to me and a humble reminder that life is short. I honestly believe that the folks I marry are like-minded. All the ceremonies I’ve ever done are civil and I feel lucky that we can speak solely about the couple’s love and future intentions. If I were ever asked to do a religious ceremony, I would be open-minded, but my sights are generally set on praising the couple and their unique experiences. It might sound crazy, but every couple I’ve had the pleasure of officiating for will be friends of mine for life. I have an open invitation to travel the world to visit them whenever I like. That Is my favorite feeling of all!

 

What makes me happiest about working with flowers is…there is no pressure when creating with flowers. I let the materials speak for themselves and I often joke that the flowers made all the decisions for me, I just place them where they can shine the brightest.

The number one thing I’d tell my younger working self is…to be patient and trust the process. It always turns out for the best and putting your thoughts and aspirations out into the Universe will allow them to come back as you need them. I’ve worked really hard in my life. Ever since childhood, that, I would never change.

The mimage1ost rewarding thing about my work with Flora Pop is…that it’s completely my own. I created this “thing” from nothing. I didn’t have a manual telling me how to do things. I failed a lot, but got back up and strived to be better. I don’t have to answer to anyone, I am my own boss. I attract very chill clients, and I can travel at my leisure. Most of all, work, does not FEEL like work. It’s my passion turned paycheck!


Flora Pop On Juice + Healthy Lifestyle

The fruits or vegetables you’ll always find in my pantry are…mangoes and tomatoes!

The first time I realized I loved cold-pressed juice was… back in my undergraduate days at this place called Golden Temple in Birmingham, Ala. I’ve always sort of been a health nut! After having open-heart surgery, twice. It’s something you consider daily. I have congenital heart disease, so keeping my heart strong is a No.1 priority.

Today, I drink cold-pressed juice because…it’s healthy for my heart, helps support organic farming and that it tastes yummy is just a bonus!

This is how often I drink juice: I drink juice every single day! The greener the better! And the Bee Chill reminds me so much of my Grandpa Roo (short for Rooster). Every summer we would pull up to the watermelon patch in his farm trunk and pick the first one. He’d slice into it with his pocketknife and then we’d section it with pieces of grass. All while sitting in the bed of his truck. Those were the best summers of my young life.

The thing I love about TJS juice is…the company’s mission, recipes, personality and most important, the heart and soul that goes into every single bottle. It is SO incredibly apparent when you sip. No other juice spot in town has this special ingredient: Love.

The funniest thing that ever happened to me while drinking juice OR when I was on a cleanse, was…Well: TJS gives you straws for a reason! Drinking juice from a glass bottle in a moving car could end in disaster…for your front teeth! Let’s just say, I lost green juice and not my pearly whites.
My advice to a newbee juicer is…don’t be afraid. It’s possibly one of the best things you’ll ever do for yourself!

Honey’s In Da House

By

Beeing National Honey Month and all, here’s to what’s right and true about an ingredient that should be your fave, too.

The Juice Standard’s honeybee love goes so much deeper than our branding and comb-shaped logos that we’ve included it in our philosophee. Bees are a pivotal part of the company’s reason for beeing. That’s why over on The Facebook we’ve been celebrating honey since September’s start as part of our 30 Days of Sweetness for National Honey Month. And beecuase we love it, we want you to, too.

Honey of the raw and local variety is a major super food. Anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, it’s excellent for external uses like face scrubs and skin irritation salves, and internally, it’s a tasty, trusty addition to tea. But health-wise—as something that’s real and deep-in-your-bones good for your body—this nectar is especially helpful in one distinct area:

Allergy relief.

The idea is that honey-producing bees consume the same pollen that flies through the air during allergy season (which for some desert dwellers is May and, Oh, now). And when bees produce their honey, they do so by processing the very pollen we can be allergic to. A major contributor to the icky eyes and sneezes of Las Vegans are the dreaded Fruitless Mulberry and European Olive trees…but the theory is that the more we’re exposed to their allergy-causing pollen, the more we can build a tolerance to those nasty-bad irritants.

Got raw honey at home? Down it. Have access to local bee pollen? Many of us take a teaspoon a day for good measure. Whatever you do, see if you can incorporate this blessed stuff into your beeing. Course we think that drinking it is the cat’s meow, but your bod’ll be happy no matter how you enjoy it.

Since we think honey’s better than Benadryl, we’re here to help you up your daily dose. These TJS recipes contain the kind of sticky stuff we hope you’ll be stuck on.

BEE HAPPY is rich with raw-cacao goodness and at least once a week is called “adult chocolate milk” by someone who thinks they invented the compliment. (Nut milk made with filtered water, coconut water, raw cashew, raw brazil nut, raw walnut, raw local honey, raw cacao, vanilla bean, and pink Himalayan salt.)

Hi There, #WhyICleanse Promo Winners!

By

OH, Bees! You so sassy. Many of you answered our August call for your beeautifulist photos of TJS bottles, tagged with @TheJuiceStandard and paired with thoughtful comments about why you cleanse. Thanks to your artistry and ability to turn some nice phrases, a choice few earned one- and three-day cleanses on us. We couldn’t have been more proud.

These #WhyICleanse winners were announced Sept. 1, on Instagram:

Instagram Winner 702Rox

702rox and her multiple posts throughout the month were the picture of prettiness and peace. “I love juicing for the vitality, energy and nourishment it gives me.”

 

It’s all in a day’s healthy eating for this bee, who has changed her body thanks to her crazy Crossfit strength; taking a hard and honest look at her diet; and lineups of food and drink like these. “…I’m feeling healthier than ever and these juices are just a little bit of the magic that makes it happen for me. I still eat almost whatever I want, but I’m smarter about it now and think about it more so.”

Instagram Winner Ambularlc

Ambularlc got points for striking yet simple creativity. This beeauty cleanses “to hit the ‘reset’ button, for both my tastebuds and my mindset!” (Can you believe she’s a working mother of three?!)

 

We appreciated how many balls in the air this active mum keeps afloat...while using TJS juice as a tool for her health.

We appreciated how many balls in the air this active mum keeps afloat…all while embarking on her first multi-day cleanse, which she did with TJS. “My life is pretty intense with work, #EvanGodyTaylor, the doggies and finding time for myself to work out…I’ve always enjoyed [TJS’s] green juices for breakfast but I’m taking it to the next level. I’m not doing it to lose weight. I’m doing it to feel better.”

 

This Grammer's rededication to her vegetarian lifestyle started, in part, with a lineup like this. Proudda her.

This Grammar told us that her re-dedication to her vegetarian lifestyle started with a Standard Cleanse day like this. “TJS has such an awesome team. You can tell they’re genuine and want to provide their customers with the best organic products.”

 

This artful arrangement and equally artful sentiment won us over.

This artful arrangement and equally artful sentiment won us over. “I turn to The Juice Standard when I need a pick-me-up. When my mind and my body are tired, I can refuel myself with their juices….Better yet, all the workers really help me learn about the many benefits that these juices have. Cleansing give me the energy and confidence to accomplish more throughout the day.”

 

This lovely styling got our juices flowing.

This lovely styling got our juices flowing, but her sentiment was bomb.com. “Everything in moderation is a saying I like to go by. But when those cheese enchiladas that you’ve had a huge hankering for turn into a weekend full of margaritas, you need to bring yourself back down to the earth from that heaven. So, you find a different heaven that is The Juice Standard. Juicing makes me feel alive, whole and bright like the sun. Simply put, these juices make me feel oh-so-happy and taste really yummy.”

 

And here’s what some of you other clever kids had to say:

erikalove92: “#WhyICleanse: I cleanse because it is both mentally and physically challenging…but that is the best part. I am strengthened physically and mentally. I cleanse because I say #FxckCancer and all diseases! I once read, “Treat your body like it belongs to someone you love,” and that is why I cleanse: because I decided to love…me.”

trustlife: “#WhyICleanse: Four years ago I decided to start loving my body and treating it with respect. Replacing alcohol with cold-pressed juices has completely transformed my life! I’m healthier, happier and more fit than I’ve ever been! Thank you to The Juice Standard for keeping my nutrient levels at their optimum!”

corny_rae: “#WhyICleanse: I was born without a thyroid, so it’s very important for me to do everything I can to stay energized and well. The Juice Standard has the best juices for this. When I cleanse with The Juice Standard, I feel mentally and physically energized. I make huge strides on my journey to a fitter, healthier me!”

hellokaylaranaenails: “#WhyICleanse: I have yet to have the opportunity to do a [cleanse] but I am dying to…I’ve seen many other juice companies but I am always drawn right back to you!…You are the only company I’ve come across that is involved. You all truly believe in what you are doing and truly love your products. Your company’s customer service is beyond words and nothing is better than great customer service.”

simply_kaygee: “Juices from The Juice Standard are always something that I love to treat myself to. (Yup: I consider something healthy like this a treat.) I cleanse for ME, since it makes me feel great, less bloated, and much lighter and refreshed! It [brings me] one step closer to my fitness goals and has always been one of the best ways to bring out the healthier and happier me.”

determined_jenny: “#WhyICleanse: Practice peace, get rid of all those toxins, purify your surroundings and enhance love to the Universe.”
