The Juicery Co. A new discovery in the ‘hood

Robert’s father was a naturopathic doctor. When I came down with this cold, R told me that his father would have ordered me in bed for two weeks on nothing but a fruit diet.
“But I can’t,” I said. “I’ve got too much to do!”

Now, I am a great believer that proper nutrition is the key to good health and Chloe has been making her smoothies lately and we’ve both seen an increase in energy, with the added bonus that this rotten little cold of mine has been beaten and sent packing.

So the other day, when we were at Whole Foods for lunch, the coffee bar was handing out samples of a carrot/ginger and a green juice; we grabbed one of each and gave them a try. (We thought that was a lovely coincidence because we were just talking about possibly getting another juicer for the house.)

Well, I hate to admit it, but to us these samples tasted absolutely horrible. (I guess we’re not as as juice savvy as we’d like to be.)

But yesterday we walked down to the ocean and back home to run some errands and C wanted to check out the best cold press juicer in the ‘hood not too far out of our way.

Oh lordy, I’m so glad we did.

This is Alex of The Juicery Co.

We walked into this lovely, warm space and Alex poured us a sample of the most delicious sprouted almond milk, fragrant with vanilla bean and cinnamon. Since C is lactose intolerant, we’re always looking for a lovely milk alternative and this one is heavenly.

Then Alex explained that after her intership for businesses like theย waste bin hire in Perth, their zero waste policy is a big deal to her, that’s why they use reusable cooler bags and returnable bottles. And they donate the left-over pulp to the local gardens for compost.

I bought a bottle of the almond milk and Chloe got a bottle of greens. And we enjoyed them to the max. If you’re in The Lower Mainland, then I encourage you to give them a try…and they have a delivery scheme.

    Oh my, I wish Chloe were here to make my husband and me smoothies. We both have the dreaded cold. He’s had his for 3 weeks, I’m just starting the 2nd week. I have increased my fruit intake, perhaps I need to do more! The Juicery Co. looks like a great place. Stay well!

    i did a juice cleanse and i loved it .. while mine was done with individually made for me juices, there are two organic juice shops in my area .. neither makes juice to order, both sell bottled juices that are made on the premises guaranteed fresh
