When it comes to hydration, sometimes plain old H₂O just doesn’t hit the spot. That’s when a sweet, tropical juice can feel like a little sip of pure paradise! But with so many options flooding the shelves, it begs the question: which juice not only tastes amazing but also delivers on the nutrition front?
Enter cold-pressed juice—a game-changer in the world of wellness.
Far more than just a fleeting health trend, cold-pressed juice is a sustainable, flavorful way to elevate your everyday routine. In this blog, we’ll dive into what makes cold-pressed juice so special, how it stacks up against other options, and simple ways to incorporate it into your life for a healthy, delicious boost.
What is Cold-Pressed Juice?
The term cold-pressed juice refers to a particular juicing method using hydraulic power to effectively extract the juice from the central source. Although it’s more of a taxing process and takes much longer than other ways, cold-pressed juices retain all of the good nutrients!
So, how is this process different from other juicing methods? There is such a thing as hot-pressed juicers, otherwise known as centrifugal juicers, and yes—you can buy them for home use. However, the vegetables and fruits are juiced from the heat generated by the blades' spinning. Due to this, oxidation begins, which can destroy those vitamins we want to preserve.
The Suja Organic Way
Over the years, we’ve dialed in our 3-step process to leave our customers cold-pressed juice created from a process that doesn’t compromise taste.
Step #1: Begin with Organic, Whole Foods
We don’t mess with concentrate or artificial flavors. We set our foundation with whole organic produce from the start.
Step #2: Get Expert Insights
Throughout each step of the journey, we partner with expert chefs and nutritionists for guidance to ensure our quality always remains high. Our #1 goal will always be to provide nutrition and exceptional taste.
Step #3: Ignite Our Smart, HPP Process
Using the cold-press method, we enhance the process with High-Pressure Processing (HPP) to preserve all the vital nutrients and flavors. This technique uses hydraulic pressure—typically from water—applied within a chamber, which transmits the force through the juice packaging to the product itself. The result? Extended shelf life without the need for preservatives and a product that retains the full nutritional benefits of our organic cold-pressed juices and functional beverages. That’s the secret behind the crisp, refreshing taste of our cold-pressed juice!
What Are the Benefits of Choosing Cold-Pressed Juice?
We briefly mentioned this already, but the benefits of cold-pressed juice are infinite. Here are just a few to unpack.
Antioxidant and Vitamin Retention
Cold-pressed juices typically retain more antioxidants and vitamins than other juices, which can support multiple bodily functions, such as immune, gut, and digestive health. 1 For example, our top-selling Immunity Citrus Pineapple juice contains over 200mg of vitamin C, 3.7mcg of vitamin D, over 100 mg of calcium, and 9mg of Zinc. We consider it a “boosted” juice since it’s meant to serve as the immunity shield you need all year long. Plus it’s like sipping on an orangey, tropical-blast!
High-Quality, Always
Choosing the cold-pressed method isn’t the easiest route, but for us, it’s the only way to put quality first. This commitment to excellence guides every decision we make and sets our bar high. That’s why all our juices are plant-based, USDA-certified organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free, with no added sugar or artificial flavors. These standards aren’t just labels—they reflect what matters most to us: delivering the best for you.
The Ultimate Cleansing Juice
When it comes to cleansing, we suggest opting for cold-pressed juices to ensure maximum nutrient absorption, and in turn, supporting the body’s natural detoxification process. High-quality, cold-pressed juices are typically free of sugars, artificial flavors, or preservatives, which can free up space for your body to zero in on cleansing. If you haven’t tried our 3-Day Juice Cleanse, this is the best way to hit the restart button. You get 8 daily functional, cold-pressed juices, plus a recipe for a nutritious breakfast each day.
“Delicious, easy to follow, loved the snack options which came in clutch. This was my first time actually trying a cleanse and it was so well worth it. Also, compared to other juices, these stay longer in the fridge and you're not forced to finish them before they expire. For the quality, priced very well against competitors. Lastly, if you want to continue it, or just have a juice here or there after the cleanse and don't want to buy a whole program, they sell individual ones in your local grocery store!! I'll be a returning customer. I actually recommended it to a friend and she just started the cleanse a few days ago and loves it.”
