Pressed Juicery Roots 1 Juice

AdrianneHo_PressedJuiceryAdrianneHo_SweatCrew_PinkBaseballJacket-5 Sometimes you need to get back to your roots…
SweatTheStyle_PressedJuicery_Root1 Roots 1 juice from Pressed Juicery is stocked with nutrients from a combination of root vegetables and leafy greens. The strong red color of the juice is from beets which are anti-inflammatory and help with restoring optimal pH to your stomach for better digestion. Kale, spinach, and romaine provide high doses of vitamins and minerals, including calcium, making this juice a strong choice if you’ve been too busy to get enough vegetables in your diet. Truth be told it’s not the sweetest and has an acquired taste but its benefits outweigh its flavor.

Organic White Peaches

AdrianneHo_WhitePeachNewBalance-4Sink your teeth into something sweet….
SweatTheStyle_WhitePeachThe white peach is in season now and one of the sweetest of them all. The white color of the flesh means that it contains more natural sugar than the deeper colored yellow peaches which are more acidic. Rich in vitamin A and C, peaches lead to the healthy production and regeneration of skin cells as well as being a great detoxifier for the kidneys and bladder. If they give in a little after a firm but gentle squeeze and have a slight wrinkle to the skin then they are ripe and ready to eat! Keep a look out next time you’re at the market, you won’t be disappointed!
