Hydrate WHealthfully with TJS Cold-Pressed Juice

May 3, 2016 By Jen Chase

We totes hate to sound like your mom, here but hydration is beeyond imperative for good health. It’s good for the skin, it’s good for maintaining body weight, it’s good for facilitating digestion, and it’s especially important as the temps rise on us during our beloved spring and summertime outdoor activity. (And that last one is especially important in the desert of Nevada.)

But for as much as mag articles and health professionals talk about hydration, there are still some misnomers about it. Truth be told, it’s not only about slogging enough H2O. There are good ways to hydrate…and even better ways to hydrate. The best way to do it is to implement plant-based water. And the best way to learn about it is straight from our resident lover of all-things Touting the Juicy Holy Grail, our co-founder Jamie Stephenson.

In a recent request for info for an L.A. Times article, Jamie had this to share about how to hydrate WHealthfully:

In the bloodstream, there are minerals called electrolytes that keep our brains, muscles and organs functioning well. Too much water but not enough electrolytes can be as dangerous as not enough water. TJS’s organic, daily-made, cold-pressed juices are essentially reverse-osmosis plant water…aka, ‘sunshine water in a bottle.’ The rain falls from the sky onto mineral-rich earth; the plants’ root systems suck up moisture and minerals to their leaves; and we press out that liquid for you to drink. The vitamins and minerals (and everything else that’s good for us in plants and produce) are far more effective in their bioavailability than any supplement because they’re not been denatured in any way. With our juice…nutrition and hydration go straight from the plant into a convenient glass bottle to your thirst-quenched lips!

Something else of high import to remember (and this goes for no matter where you live) is that gauging your hydration levels can be hard when you’re active…and it can be especially hard to judge hydration in littletons as they get their outdoor play on. We’re not medical professionals, nor did we stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but we do want to share the common-sense knowledge that summer is a prime time to watch for heat stroke signs.

Headaches, weakness, dizziness, and even cramps, nausea or vomiting can all be precursors to heat stroke. And even more important to remember is this: By the time heat stroke actually hits, the skin presents with less sweat, and more red, hot and dry skin. Over-active breathing and heart rate are also signs that can be mistaken for the normal reactions to activity…but all of it is heat-stroke related and requires immediate attention.

Our point in all of this? Drink more plant water! And while we tout the bennies of cooling veggies like cucumber and watermelon, the truth is, all plant water is beeyond good for you. So to maintain your safety and your body’s optimum levels, during warm weather (and any weather), keep the liquids coming. Beecause we are what we think and we are what we drink!

April=Allergy Relief the TJS Way

April 6, 2016 By Jen Chase

Spring is officially only a few weeks old, but we feel like we’re already upping our A-Is-For-Allergy game, as we sharpen the trusted tools in our tool belts for holding back our yearly wheezes and sneezes.

(Thanks, Trees, for popping your pollen early. Not.)

You may have heard about intermittent fasting (IF)—eating during a window of set hours each day to promote the body’s burning the fuel it has before adding more in. It’s widely reported that IF may be excellent for building immunity, and addressing allergies. And we’ve already talked a little about fasting and our own vernacular shift here at The Juice Standard, we believe there’s a way to combine these tactics of IF and enjoying juice fasts by simply adding a few allergy-fighting Singletons or shots from our menu to your daily sked of eating.

Here’s what we recommend:

TJS SHOTS

The Juice Standard’s wellness shots are potent 2- to 3-ounce sips that can up the ante of everyone’s path toward WHealth™™ and glowing self.

With a concentrated dose of raw, unpasteurized, cold-pressed juice and select herbs, spices and superfoods from nature’s drugstore, our shots are designed to be downed individually but may be combined with juices in the TJS repertoire for a truly optimized, tricked-out taste. (Ask our Bees beehind the counter for perfect pairings since some shots are meant to be enjoyed solo.)

From increasing energy and immunity, to being the tastiest liquid vitamin you’ll ever enjoy, our shots are like the espresso of the juice world: bold and strong, but filled with things like blue-green algae (for optimized health) and raw apple cider vinegar (for fighting colds and increasing metabolism).

“Shoot it and be done with it” is what we like to say! Each shot is a true one-and-done step in your wellness routine.

Name: WELLNESS SHOT

Boastful Benefits: Need some spring in your step? Having some tummy trubs? Not feeling your best? This powerful combo helps boost immunity with vitamin C; increase circulation with the pepper’s heat; and ease stomach discomfort thanks to the ginger’s stellar digestive enzymes. An excellent shot, any time of day.

Ingredients: Ginger, lemon, cayenne pepper

Tastes…hot and spicy with a citrus kick. It’s grownup lemonade on steroids. (And did we say it’s hot? Beecuase it is.)

Name: FLU SHOT

Boastful Benefits: Turmeric is, like, the Superman of Spices, long researched and well documented by The Cleveland Clinic and National Institutes of Health for its ability to improve cognitive function in patients with neurological disorders (Alzheimer’s disease; ALS); as well as slowing the growth of some types of cancer cells. But turmeric is also like nature’s ibuprofen, and if taken regularly can help reduce inflammation in everyone from gym warriors to arthritis sufferers. Bonus? The black pepper in our FluShot helps the bod absorb that turmeric even faster. (And the apple cider vinegar is great for aiding digestion and metabolism.)

Ingredients: Raw apple cider vinegar, oregano oil, turmeric, black pepper

Tastes…pleasantly acidic and herbal (and thanks to that turmeric and pepper—and assuming you like Indian food—faintly reminiscent of your fave yellow curry).

Name: E3LIVE® SHOT

Boastful Benefits: Blue-green algae contains some of the most concentrated amounts of protein known to the plant world, so for vegetarian and vegan eaters concerned about their intake, this special shot helps with all-around health. Blue-green algae is also known for increasing energy, balancing mood, and boosting our overall vitamin and amino acid intake.

Ingredients: E3Live® blue-green algae and coconut water

Tastes…vegetal and grassy, with a hint of the tropics. Think walking through a freshly cut yard while nursing a piña colada. Minus the pineapple. And the sugar. And, pushing a mower.

TJS ALLERGY-FIGHTING SINGLETONS

Want something a little less strong? Any of our juices and nut milks with turmeric will do you no wrong. From Bee Legendary to Bee WHealthy™, there are sips to satisfy all kinds of palates. Ask one of our Bees beehind the country to steer you in the right direction. Which in our hope, is as far away from a tissue as possible.

With Our Cold-Pressed Cocktails, Less Is More

April 6, 2016 By Jen Chase

A few choice ingredients added to some tried-and-true Singletons is all it takes to create our newest menu additions (cocktails) at our newest location (The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas). What makes them truly swoony? That Marcella’s recipes allow their juicy and nut-milky bases to shine-shine-shine.

Haven’t had ‘em? Time to meet The Juice Standard’s cold-pressed cocktails.

What: Happy Russian

What’s in it? Bee Happy (think chocolate milk), vodka, kahlua, and choice of optional Crème De Menthe or peppermint oil and/or an espresso shot to make it (and you) “wired.”

Reminds you of…a riff off the best White Russian you’ve hadn’t even dreamt yet.

What: Queen/King for a Day

What’s in it? Bee Royal (think spicy lemonade), bourbon and ginger beer

Reminds you of…a Dark & Stormy with a side of citrus attitude. Perfect fuel for your night on casino or dance floor.

What? The Heart and the Fist

What’s in it? Bee Resilient, gin, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, lemon juice, pink Himalayan salt, hot sauce

Reminds you of? A (spicy garden) party in your mouth.

What? WHealth™ Maker

What’s in it? Bee WHealthy™, vodka, ginger beer

Reminds you of…a Vegetal Bee WHealthy™ and spicy-sweet ginger beer make this drink so unique you’ll create an entirely new food memory.

What? Sex Panther

What’s in it? Bee Cosmopolitan, vodka, triple sec, lemon juice

Reminds you of…sex. And, large cats. Meow. (Er, Grrrr.)

What? Living Legend

What’s in it? Bee Legendary, rum

Reminds you of…guilt-free nog you can enjoy any time of year. And, Ron Burgundy.

What? Dirty Martian

What’s in it? Bee Resilient, vodka, dry vermouth, olive juice

Reminds you of…the best dirty you’ve ever had. (Martini, that is.)

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.

WATERS

ALKALINE WATER

Purified alkaline water. Enough said.

CHLORO-WATER

We gently marry 9.5pH alkaline water with immunity-building chlorophyll for a fresh, purifying, body-balancing beverage. Emerald in color with a soft grassy taste, our Chloro-Water is pure liquid energy and fit for all-day, any-time drinking. Life…in a bottle!

So there you have it. Come see us in the flesh or check back at our outlets for more info to come on the tastes you love and new ones we know you will.

Honey’s In Da House

September 9, 2015 By Jen Chase

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.)

BEE TRUE TO YOU is, simply put, an allergen alleviator of the highest order. (Cold-pressed juice with cucumber, lemon, ginger, turmeric, honey, cayenne.)

BEE LEGENDARY brims with exotically warm spices, and is on its way to being known as TJS’ perfect fall flavor you’re lucky enough to by year ‘round. (Nut milk made with filtered water, raw cashew, raw brazil nut, raw walnut, turmeric, ginger, vanilla bean, cardamom, nutmeg, clove, raw local honey, pink Himalayan salt, and cracked black pepper.)

BEE I’M POSSIBLE is creamily, dreamily kissed with love, light, lemon, and lavender, of all things…and BOY does it work! (Nut milk made with raw cashew, vanilla bean, lemon, lavender, raw local honey, and alkaline water.)

Summer Menu Switch-Up

August 4, 2015 By Jen Chase

We heart our Bees and strive long and hard to keep all y’all happy and healthy. Unplanned menu changes can feel like hiccups, but they usually lead to bigger and better things. Tastier ones, too. Here are some subtle changes percolating at The Hive and The Rose during the next month.

‘Bee Effective’ Is ‘Bee Gone’…For Now.

Many of you Bees know that The Juice Standard (TJS) procures organic produce from the most local sources possible…and that living in the desert, that means we depend on our good neighbor California for a sizeable portion of what we press.

In the past few weeks, storms and high temps across The Golden State have wreaked havoc on many crops that go into our recipes. From mildew and insect damage, to internal plant burn and burnage on plant tips and fringe, growers across the region are suffering mightily, which means buyers like us have to re-adjust.

Thankfully, our growers’ crops are allowing us to forge ahead with nearly everything TJS presses! But for the foreseeable (and hopefully brief) future, we’re hitting pause on BEE EFFECTIVE until we can bring it to you made from the healthiest, most nutrient-dense organic produce possible.

‘Bee Happy’ Growing Pains: Come early and often!

We’ve had an overwhelming demand for BEE HAPPY lately and it’s been selling faster than tickets to a D-Trump stump speech…to the point where we’ve been selling out. Like, a lot. It honestly took us by surprise. We’ve always had crazy-great feedback about BEE HAPPY’s rich cacao-ness and gentle spicing (and have you tried it in cocktails? Ooh-la-laaa….), so the first few times it happened were just kinda like, “Hmm. Vegas must be on a colossal chocolate kick.” But then the sell outs became more regular. Then we heard frustration in some of our loyal bees’ voices. Made us feel all 💔 inside.

So in the interest of full disclosure—beecuase we’re deep into transparency and that mindfulness shee-it—we want you to know we’ve recognized the problem and are upping production of both BEE HAPPY and BEE EXCELLENT…two of TJS’ richest, most satisfying nut milks. That said, don’t be afraid to call ahead and reserve what you’re planning to pick up. Our staff at The Rose and The Hive will be more than happy to oblige….

One of the most important things about being a wholehearted company in the service industry—any industry, really—is “knowing thy audience.” And while we’re sorry to have disappointed any of you bees even for a hot minute, we’re chocking it up to growing pains and better learning the fine art of supply and demand. Thanks for sticking by us and for coming back, even if you didn’t get what you wanted when you wanted it. We aim to please and we’ll always strive to be better so that you may live your healthiest, WHealthiest lives.

Wrap Your Lips Around ‘Bee Kind’

August 4, 2015 By Jen Chase

Limited-edition, sweet-and-spicy recipe is soon-to-be a fan fave. (Who are we kidding? We’re hearing it already is!)

Shhh: Can you hear it? The trumpets? Angels? (Or is it a gaggle of cutie men with high-pitched voices? Unsure.) It’s not in your head, Bees. It’s the netherworld heralding the arrival of our beeautiful, newbee flavor, limited-edition BEE KIND.

Have you ever sipped a Singleton and thought, Hells Bells! How DO they come up with these boss recipes? Sometimes we look at common ailments to see what we can alleviate; but most of the time, recipes are driven by the availability of organic produce (that, and our pairing what we think would taste good together, of course).

Well with BEE KIND, the presenting sitch was a little different.

You’ve heard TJS say, “If it’s not organic, we won’t press it,” but we also won’t press produce unless it’s beyond delicious. And pineapple right now? It’s pretty ick. Since it’s the main squeeze in BEE GRATEFUL—and since we’re in the throes of prime-time watermelon season, yo—we took a hard look at the menu’s seasonality, paused BEE GRATEFUL until the pine is sublime, and decided to birth a new juice.

Enter BEE KIND.

With sweet heat from a carrot-watermelon-apple-ginger-lemon combo that will keep you sippa-sip-sipping, you’ll actually bee grateful that pineapple needs a time out. Plus, the health bennies of this rosy beauty are boundless:

🙌 carrot’s beta carotene fights heart disease, ocular degeneration and cancer;

🍉 watermelon’s lycopene is a prostate cancer preventative and helps reduce depression and oxidative stress on the brain which can lead to neurological disorders. (Plus, it’s a diuretic and helps reduce belly bloat, too.);

🍎 apple’s Quercetin is a carb-digestion aid;

🙌 ginger reduces air and inflammation in the gassiest of tummies; and

🍋 lemon is extremely alkalizing, and excellent for your digestion and skin.

Ever cried from something delicious? Grab a Singleton of BEE KIND and a hanky and brace yourself.

Bee Chill Is A Special Summer Sipper

June 2, 2015 By Jen Chase

Eating seasonable is just plain reasonable…and this is one TJS special that will keep your summer sipping interesting.

We love consistency just like the next bee, but part of the joy of sourcing The Juice Standard’s organic produce, nuts, grains and seeds (from as many local purveyors as we can) is that we get to weave flavors in an out of our menu as the season allows. And for summer, that means one of our favorites is back in the rotation.

WHAT: Bee Chill

This beeautiful juice isn’t just delicious…it even looks pretty in the bottle!

WHY: Packed with super-hydrating watermelon, cooling cucumber and alkalizing lemon that helps undo some of the acidic hurt we suffer from digesting processed foods, not only does Bee Chill help keep your insides clean but it’s the antidote to heat no matter where you live. How? Bee Chill’s main ingredient is watermelon…and if all you ever thought was that this quintessential picnic add-on was just a go-to portable fruit, watermelon has some unsung health bennies:

We bee grateful for orgs like OrganicFacts.net that help keep us juice-u-cated about the produce we freaking love to press!

It’s low in sugar (so it’s good for diabetics);

It flushes out kidneys (which helps keep them in good health); and,

It has decent amount of vitamins and minerals that make it a sweet treat that’s actually good for you.

HEALTHY THINKING BEYOND THE BOTTLE: If you haven’t already, something you’ll notice when you start replacing processed sugars or other foods with tasty bits from Mother Nature (like watermelon) is that your body will start craving the new tastes…but if you’re smart, it won’t just be your body that does the craving!

TJS COO and Co-Founder Marcella Williams-Melnichuk has had her kids on a healthy diet for so long that when they were littletons, they thought of dates as candy! Our point? With enough exposure, drinks like Bee Chill and others in the TJS repertoire can taste just as good as that craptastic carbonated canned stuff we thought was a treat when we were kids. So when you can, see what you can swap out of your everyday repertoire and swap in from ours. From hardcore organic green juice to more newbee flavors with natural sweetness from organic carrot and apple (and even honey and spices in our nut milks), there’s something for everyone with an open mind and an open mouth.

(And seriously: Just THINK what our health would be like today if one of the most iconic ads in all of ad-dom featured colorful, juice-filled bottles?)

We really think we can change our drinking habits a bottle at a time. Don’t you?

Espresso Yourself…With TJS Nut Milk

March 1, 2015 By Jen Chase

Is the scrumptious, protein-y goodness in a bottle of TJS nut milk a breakfast replacer or energy booster?

(How ‘bout both?!)

Even our most ardent green juicing bees come in for something dreamy and creamy every now and then, hoping that one of our five signature nut milks will hold them over ’til they can enjoy their next chewing meal. But for when you need something that’s filling and naturally energizing, the solution is simple:

Add an espresso shot!

TJS serves a kickass Americano, latte, cappuccino, raw cacao mocha, and an exquisitely simple espresso shot, each from organic beans roasted by local Las Vegas master roaster Joshua Walter and our friends at Mothership Roasters (same guys at Sunrise Coffee on Eastern Avenue near the airport). We also have our Bee Invincible (which you can read about here). To those coffee bevvies we add our homemade cashew cream. But for a total treat, ask for a bottle of nut milk, unscrew the cap, take a sip off the top to make a little room, and we’ll add a shot of espresso straight to the source. (We recommend Bee Magnificent or Bee Happy for this experiment but go ahead and bee creative.)

And for a cuppa something super cold or super hot instead, we can also pour an espresso shot over ice and drench it in your nut milk, or steam your nut milk and add an espresso shot for a coffee drink that’s as warming (or cooling) as you need.

As our trusted coffee-roasting connoisseur Josh Walter advised in this month’s Rated magazine feature about the rise of (good) Vegas coffee, the next time you’re looking for a natural jolt that has nada to do with Red Bull, turn to espresso. And by all means, grab a bottle of any of TJS’ nut milks plus an espresso shot. Because TJS nut milk + espresso shot = hot OR cold deliciousness. Try it, Bees! We aim to pleese!

Top Off Your V-Day With TJS’ Bee Mine

Team TJS loves your positive feedback on our superfood smoothies, so this month we’re giving you the treat of a brand new product at The Hive!

Bee Mine is our newest menu addition, and we’ve concocted the heck out of an amazing mixture of strawberries, raspberries, Goji berries, maca, cacao nibs, cashews, Greek yogurt, agave, and banana. It makes for a healthy treat to give to that special someone on Valentine’s Day instead of calorie-loaded chocolates…not to mention, strawberries and maca have mystical libido-boosting powers.

Just sayin’.
