What is cold-pressed juice?
Cold-pressed juice is made using a special hydraulic press that gently extracts juice from fruits and veggies without using heat. This process locks in more nutrients and extends the juice’s shelf life, so you get the best, most nutrient-dense juice around. At Sprout Therapy, we use over 2000 pounds of pressure to make sure you get all the good stuff!
Do you use local & organic products?
Yes, whenever possible! We source fresh, organic, spray-free, and local ingredients to ensure you’re getting the healthiest juices possible.
Do you use glass or plastic?
We’re all about sustainability! That’s why we use glass bottle for all our juices. Not only do they keep your juices fresh, preserve the vitamins - they also help us minimize our environmental footprint. We will take your bottles back, just schedule a pick up by emailing: orders@sprouttherapy.ca
Why does the juice cost so much?
Cold-pressed juices take a little extra love and care! From the large quantities of fresh produce we use to the specialized equipment and expert preparation, a juicing is an investment in your health. The glass bottles and top-notch ingredients ensure you’re getting the highest quality product that’s worth every penny!
How long do your juices last?
Our fresh-pressed juices typically last 5 to 7 days when stored properly in the fridge. Cold-pressing helps preserve freshness and nutrients longer than traditional juicing methods. For maximum flavor and benefits, enjoy your juices as soon as possible!
Do the juices contain a lot of sugar?
The sugar in our juices comes naturally from the fruits and veggies—nothing refined or processed! The natural sugars in fresh juice are balanced with vitamins and minerals, making them easier for your body to absorb and process compared to refined sugars. So, you get the energy without the crash!
Is there protein & fiber in the juice?
Our juices are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but they’re low in protein and fiber since we’re focusing on delivering quick, easily absorbed nutrients. This makes them gentle on the digestive system, allowing your body to absorb the good stuff without the extra bulk.
What happens in the instance of a power outage?
If the power goes out, keep your juices chilled in a cooler with ice packs to maintain freshness. Stay hydrated with water and check the juices for any signs of spoilage before drinking. If you’re unsure about the safety of your juices, it’s better to be cautious and discard them. Stay flexible and reach out to a healthcare professional if you have concerns about continuing your cleanse.
What is a juice cleanse?
A juice cleanse is a short-term detox where you drink a variety of delicious fruit and veggie juices for 1 to 10 days. The idea is to flood your body with essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to support digestion, mental clarity, and overall wellness. It’s like hitting the reset button for your body!
**Important:** Always check with your doctor before starting a cleanse—especially if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have diabetes, or are on medication. And listen to your body! If something feels off, reach out to your doctor right away.
How will I feel during a cleanse?
Many people feel lighter, more energized, and mentally clear after a juice cleanse. Your body gets a boost of hydration and nutrients, which can improve digestion, promote healthier skin, and leave you feeling revitalized. Your digestive system gets a break, giving your body more energy for detoxification and repair. Get ready to glow!
Will I be hungry on a cleanse?
It depends on the person, but many people find that the nutrient-packed juices help keep hunger at bay. You may feel some initial hunger as your body adjusts, but staying hydrated and drinking your juices regularly should keep you feeling energized and satisfied. Plus, the cleanse gives your digestive system a much-needed break, so you’ll likely feel lighter and more refreshed as you go!
Will I lose weight on a cleanse?
Some people do lose weight during a juice cleanse, especially as the body sheds toxins. Keep in mind that weight loss can vary based on metabolism, cleanse duration, and lifestyle. The initial weight loss is often due to water and toxins, so for lasting results, be sure to continue healthy habits after the cleanse!
Do I need to drink the juices in the suggested order?
We recommend following the cleanse order—we’ve designed it to minimize tummy troubles and keep your energy levels up. Each juice is strategically placed to give you the best possible cleanse experience!
How do I choose which Cleanse to do—1-day, 2-day, 3-day, or 5-day?
It all depends on your goals! Here’s a quick breakdown:
- 1-day cleanse: Perfect for a quick reset or a gentle introduction to cleansing.
- 2-day cleanse: A bit more detoxifying, great for those with some cleanse experience.
- 3-day cleanse: A deeper cleanse for those ready to reset their system.
- 5-day cleanse: The full detox experience for maximum results!
Consider what your goal is, how much time you have, your lifestyle, and your experience with cleanses to pick the perfect duration for you.
Can I substitute one juice for another?
While it’s best to follow the cleanse plan for maximum benefits, we understand that life happens! If you have allergies or strong taste preferences, feel free to swap juices. Just remember, each juice in the plan is chosen to support a balanced detox, so substitutions may affect the overall experience.
Can I exercise while on a cleanse?
Yes! You can still exercise during your cleanse, but listen to your body and adjust as needed. Light to moderate activities like yoga, walking, or stretching can help keep your body moving while allowing it to focus on detoxifying. Make sure to stay hydrated and prioritize gentle, restorative exercises while cleansing.
How do I prepare for a cleanse?
To get the most out of your cleanse, start by reducing caffeine, processed foods, and heavy meals a few days before. Drink plenty of water and plan your schedule so you can relax and focus on your cleanse. Mentally prepare by setting positive intentions and embracing the benefits of detoxifying!
How do I exit a cleanse?
Ease out of your cleanse by reintroducing solid foods slowly. Start with light, easily digestible options like fruits, veggies, or smoothies, and avoid heavy or processed foods. Continue drinking plenty of water and consider adding probiotic-rich foods to support gut health. Gradually return to your regular diet and enjoy the lasting benefits of your cleanse!
Can I drink coffee on a cleanse?
If you’re craving a cup of coffee, it’s okay to have a little—but a cleanse is a great opportunity to reduce or eliminate caffeine. Many people find that the natural energy from fresh juices and water is all they need! If you do drink coffee, make sure it doesn’t interfere with your detox goals.
Can I drink alcohol on a cleanse?
We recommend skipping the alcohol while on your cleanse. Alcohol can slow down the detox process, dehydrate your body, and disrupt your energy levels. For the best results, stick to hydrating with water and juices and save the cocktails for after your cleanse!
Can I chew gum on a cleanse?
Gum isn’t the best choice during a cleanse. It can stimulate your digestive system and make you crave more food, which can interfere with your cleanse. Stick to hydrating with water and enjoy your juices to stay on track!
I am diabetic, can I do a cleanse?
If you have diabetes, please consult your doctor before starting a juice cleanse. Since fruit juices contain natural sugars, it’s important to make sure the cleanse aligns with your blood sugar management plan. Your doctor can help you choose the right juices and adjust any medications if needed to ensure a safe and effective cleanse.
Is a cleanse safe while pregnant?
During pregnancy, your body has unique nutritional needs, and while a full juice cleanse may not be recommended, incorporating nutrient-rich juices into your diet can still be beneficial. Always consult with your healthcare provider to make sure your choices support both your health and your baby’s development.
