🌿 What Is a Juice Feast?

A Juice Feast is what happens when you treat yo’ cells to the full abundance of plant life—all packed into our vibrant, cold-pressed juice.

Paired with intentional fasting, juice feasting taps into your body’s natural ability to heal, reset, and regenerate. Unlike traditional fasts, juice feasting keeps your body nourished with vitamins, minerals, living enzymes, and prebiotics—everything your cells have been craving.

💫 The magic?
You’re fueling deeply while resting your digestion—giving your body a chance to repair, glow, and thrive.

We call that feeling the Juice Buzz.
Keep at it, and you’ll see the Juice Glow, too.

🌀 How to Juice Feast with Love:

• Ease in with a plant-based diet for a few days beforehand.

• During the feast, stay hydrated—drink plenty of water.

• When you’re ready to return to solid food, start slow with your favorite juicy fruit.

Gentle. Potent. Totally alive.
This is the easiest, most nourishing way to fast—because you’re not starving…
you’re feasting.

How long does the juice stay fresh?

Our cold-pressed juices are optimal within three days of pressing. They must be consumed or frozen within 5 days of pressing. When you place an order, your juice will be made fresh on pick-up day. Be sure to always keep your juice COLD and sealed, don’t leave it sitting out or in an open container.

Shouldn’t raw juice be consumed immediately after juicing?

Raw juice made with a centrifugal juicer (most home juicers) should be consumed immediately because the process generates heat and oxidation which leads to rapid enzyme depletion, and sometimes a bruised taste.

Cold-pressed juice process involves a gentle grind and firm press that limits heat and oxidation, allowing the juice to maintain its freshness for three days after pressing when kept cold and in an air-tight container.

Can I freeze the juice?

Yes! Juice freezes well and then melts into a icee/slushie drink as you shake the bottle.

Before freezing, pour out an ounce (down to the shoulder of the bottle) to provide head-space for expansion so you don’t get leaks. Thawed juice is best consumed within a day.

What’s the difference between juice and a smoothie?

The main difference is fiber. Most of the plant fiber is removed in the juice pressing process. By taking the fiber out, you can pack more fruit & veggie nutrients into a juice than you can into a smoothie of the same size. The lack of fiber allows your body to rapidly absorb the nutrients while expending minimal digestive effort, and this may be a better option for those dealing with digestion issues. Smoothies are made by pulverizing fruit/veggies with water or other liquid in a blender. The fiber, which helps keep things moving through your digestive system, is maintained in the process.

What’s the difference between Juicy Leaf  juice and cold-pressed juice at the supermarket?

Cold-pressed juice sold at retailers (not direct from the juice producer) is required to undergo High-Pressure Processing (or HPP) where pressure is used to extend the shelf life of the juice so it can sit on shelves for weeks and months. Also, most display coolers at stores have LED lighting that emits UV light which damages the juice (think sunlight that bleaches out colors). HPP is less destructive to nutrients than heat pasteurization, however, beneficial enzymes are compromised and many do not consider HPP juice “raw”.   Our juice is truly raw & fresh.

Can Juicy Leaf bottles be reused?

We can sanitize and reuse the glass shot bottles! You may rinse and return them to our shop or our booth at the Kalamazoo Farmers Market.  We cannot correctly wash/sanitize the plastic bottles for reuse.  They are made from #1 PETE plastic, which is highly recyclable. We encourage you to find creative ways to reuse them.  A few that we like are for sorting odds and ends, organizing small hardware like screws/nails/nuts & bolts,  fill them with loose tea, seeds, or dried herbs, especially for sharing with friends. They also make great ice packs!
