Newable Chewables For You(able)

August 23, 2016 By Jen Chase

See Marcella? That’s her. She’s a bomb recipe-creating queen that can’t bee stopped.

Lucky You, when she goes on a tear it benefits your belly like nobody’s business. Case in point: In the last month The Juice Standard has added two new iced lattes (and come Vegas’s not-as-hot time you may want them hot, too), and coming up faster than you can say Norwalk juicer, our chewables menu is gonna blow up.

(BLOW up…with deliciousness, that is.)

So for a sneak peek of the almost-here chewables, and an intro to the here-and-now lattes, here’s how TJS is keeping Summer 2016 so freaking tasty.

SENSATIONAL NEW SIPPERS

The Honey Nātado: Named for one of our fantabulous Bees beehind our counters (our staff helps make TJS operate SO smoothly!), this iced brew is the perfect blend of our organic espresso, cashew cream and raw local honey. (Hint: Double the espresso for some added zing-a-zing-zing.)

The Matcha Latte: Green tea lovers, this is so for you. Matcha is a drink served hot or cold that’s made from grinding green tea leaves to a powder-fine consistency and mixing it with water. If green tea has lots of health benefits, matcha has about a kajillion more since you’re ingesting the entire leaf. Combine all that WHealth™ with cashew cream, vanilla, agave, and a little acai, and you have something that’s as nutritious as it is delicious.

ORGANIC SALADS + WRAPS

Kale Granola Salad: Our newest salad features kale leaves that have been gently massaged with a honey-lemon vinaigrette and topped with our raw, house-made granola, and dried cranberries. As with our Field Greens Salad, both can be made portable by throwing them in a wrap. Gently, of course.

TOASTS!

Avocado Chipotle Toast: Simplicity at its best: Avocado (with a lil’ chipotle kick!) is topped with microgreens and sliced radish.

Avocado Granola Toast: Avocado and our house-made granola come together in the same bite to satisfy the savory-sweet crunch you didn’t even know you could crave so much but you do and this is one awesome toast.

Mediterranean Toast: Marcella’s kickass tzatziki—a spread made from Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and herbs—is slathered on bread and topped with microgreens and tomatoes.

Seeds Of Inspiration: A protein-rich toast slathered with our organic house-made cashew-walnut butter, and topped with hemp, pumpkin and flax seeds…all on organic seeded bread.

Bee Bread: This sublime, dessert-like toast features our organic, house-made cashew-walnut butter, spread on toothsome oat bread, and topped with banana, granola, and honey. Served warm and Good Lord it’s good.

WHEALTHY™ TREATS + SNACKS

Chia Seed Puddings: So, our chia seed puddin’ isn’t new—we still combine the same protein-rich ancient grain with our signature, house-made nut milks for a healthy grab-and-go snack or meal. But the names are way easier to remember. Now, simply say the name of your fave TJS nut milk (except Bee Excellent), add “chia” at the end and anyone beehind the counter will know what you’re talking about and serve you up right.

Happy Chia (Chocolate)
Legendary Chia (Chai-spiced)
Magnificent Chia (Vanilla)
Choco-Mint Chia (You got this.)

Vanilla Parfait: Admittedly, this isn’t different, either—still comes with your choice of Greek or dairy-free coconut yogurt, and it’s still a whole lotta creamy, dreamy protein at its best. But now you can get it topped with TJS’s house-made tropical granola or our homemade raw cacao granola.

Vegan Cheesecake: Our decadent noncheesecake comes in two flavors—blueberry and pineapple—and delivers authentic taste with a sweet, walnut-cashew crumb crust.

Lemon Coconut Cake Pop: This vegan cake pop made with creamy raw cashews, lemon zest and coconut flakes, comes on the tastiest stick ever: An edible pretzel!

Banana Chews: Known previously as our “banana leathers,” this is still the same delish recipe: We dehydrate raw, organic banana strips to the perfect chewy consistency, and serve it with our house-made creamy cashew walnut butter.

Seasonal Fruit Chews: Same as our banana chews only featuring our favorite seasonal organic fruit. It’s portable sweetness for health (and taste) on the go.

Can there BEE such a thing as ‘unhealthy salad?’ Not at TJS!

October 9, 2015 By Jen Chase

HOW on Earth is it that a well-known staple food in our healthy food lexicon has gotten a bad rap? Why, by piling it with a bunch of unhealthies that render its produce a nutritional no-no…unless, of course, the salad you eat is ours. Introducing…the TJS “Chewing Menu.”

So, a recent health headline that kinda made us take a step back was about how overrated salad is (or at least according to the venerable Washington Post). It was in this opinion piece by Tamar Haspel, a thoughtful journey who is well versed in writing about food, food supply issues, farming, and the like, and it made some freaking good points about how there are better ways to get our fruits and vegetables than the salad that society has taught is good for us.

Now. As with all opinion articles it’s important to absorb info with a colossal grain of pink Himalayan sea salt. But Haspel’s point was beeyond interesting: What we throw on a salad can weigh it down so much that our well-intentioned base of veggies we use for this so-called “healthy meal” get lost ‘neath a mountain of animal-based protein, processed add-ons and the crunchy, empty-calorie goodies that often come from factories, not nature.

Haspel even goes on to say that even without all the tasty bits and dressings that can cause more harm than good, the basis of our salads is often a pile of leafy greens with little to no nutritional value. It’d be one thing if we consistently veered toward spinach, kale and chard; but most folks build bowls with a pile of non-organic iceberg, which on the healthy-veg scale is low-low-low.

Harumph.

Does Haspel say we should all stop gettin’ our inner Peter Rabbit on as we graze on raw, gardeny goodness? No. But might the occasional salad of garden-grown greens with richly homemade buttermilk blue cheese dressing and thick-slab, non-hormoned bacon crumbled on top become something of a treat? It might. Beecause if we’re talking pure nutrition here—if we’re really trying to eat for fuel and energy, say, 80 percent of the time and maybe just for “fun” the other 20—there are better ways to get produce into your pretty little system.

Naturally, we’re about to offer up two winning ways to beat the conventional salad backlash. (And in case you were wondering, this absoLUTEly is the point in this post where TJS’s advice swoops in and saves the nutritional day. Ready? ‘Cause it’s happening now….)

1) DRINK your veggies via TJS cold-pressed juice.

2) Eat a salad…as long as it’s ours.

Fo’ sho’ you saw #1 coming. We’re pretty overt about reminding that you can drench your system with 2-3 pounds of organic produce any time you crack open a bottle of our cold-pressed juice. But our salad, you say? Wha?

Yes, Bees. We now have a new “Chewing Menu” that features among other items a field greens salad you may enjoy with a fork or make portable in the most delicious sun dried tomato wrap we’ve ever laid our lips on. Marcella’s and Jamie’s move toward a well-curated chewing menu is to help satisfy Bees’ needs for a nosh to go with a TJS juice. And an organic, thoughtfully crafted salad or wrap turns into near-Nutrition Perfection when washed down with even more produce.

Did you see we mentioned “field greens?” Our salad and wrap do in fact have lettuce, which Haspel
says is, in fact, a banner way to get water into your diet. And when topped with things like raw and organic hemp or chia seeds; raw nuts; and salad dressings with an ingredients list that doesn’t read like the dictionary, a TJS Field-Greens Salad gets clean, organic roughage into your body very easily…and chewing roughage is as important as knowing when to give your digestion a rest by drinking your produce.

When it comes down to it, Bees, nutrition’s about balance. Just like knowing when to hold ‘em. When to fold ‘em. When to walk away and when to run like a mofo. So as you start seeing more and more salads on the farmers table at The Rose, or see folks leaving The Hive with takeaway containers that will give them a healthy lunch, if you find yourself hungry and you’re close by, grab a salad or wrap–maybe some banana leathers or dates filled with Marcella’s kickass cashew-walnut butter—and see how a clean, organic salad can make you feel as light and delicious as it tastes.

Sing it, Kenny.

TJS Fall Menu Debut

September 30, 2015 By Jen Chase

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.

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:

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.
Dates with Cashew-Walnut Butter showcase the same house-made nut butter as the leathers for an ooey, gooey, nutty, and chewy treat that’s actually good for you. Mother Nature’s candy.
