Feast Portland<\/a> starts in three days! Can you hear the excitement in my voice?! This will probably be the last time, for a while, that the hubby and I take a vacation just the two of us. Well if you’re just tuning in and wondering what I’m taking about you might want to check out my previous posts here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Today you’re in for a treat. Last week I chatted with Mattie Fowler, Events Coordinator at Portland Juice Co<\/a>. Which means today it’s all about juice.<\/p>\n

\nJuicing
\nis all the rage and I think it\u2019s here to stay. What advice would you give the
\nhome juicer just getting started?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nMF: Don\u2019t be afraid experiment with
\ningredients that are in season locally! Vegetables like cucumber and romaine
\nwill have a high liquid yield, fruits like pears and apples will add sweetness
\nand will add tons of antioxidants. Adding roots like ginger and turmeric will
\nadd a boldness to the flavor, offering powerful immune support. If you like
\nspice, don’t hesitate to introduce ingredients like cayenne and jalape\u00f1o\u2026great
\nfor metabolism and circulation! <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nMF: For first-time visitors to
\nPortland Juice Company<\/a>, you must try our crowd favorite, The Om<\/a>! It’s 100%
\nOrganic and only has 4 ingredients: Hazelnuts, Dates, Cinnamon, and Filtered
\nWater. It’s protein-dense and rich in Omega’s and other good fats, so it could
\nbe used as a meal replacement or a post-workout source of protein. Also ask
\nabout our seasonal juices! These juices rotate regularly depending on seasonal
\ningredients, and are typically on the sweeter side, as well as refreshing!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nMF: Our top 5 ingredients used are
\nKale, Cucumbers, Apples, Carrots, and Spinach. These are all wonderful
\n“juicing basics” to have on hand. With a good base, you can add other
\ningredients that are flavor-dense and have phenomenal health benefits. You can
\nget creative with these: Burdock, Chia Seed, Mint, Basil, and Tumeric are a few
\nof our “curveball” ingredients<\/i>. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nMF: (a two-part answer)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\na) Our method of juicing, called
\nCold-Pressing, does not incorporate any heat, and very little oxygen, during
\nthe pressing process. This process yields more juice, and allows the cell walls
\nof the fruits and veggies to stay intact, delaying oxidization (which breaks
\ndown the nutrients). This is produces a higher quality of juice than you would
\nfind from a blender or home juicer. Our juice has a 4-day shelf life, opposed
\nto 30 minutes, as you will often see at juice bars. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nb) Your body will thank you, and
\ndrinking cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juice is a difference that you can
\nfeel! Many people report that their bodies “crave” the nutrient-dense
\nsource of vitamins and minerals that raw juice provides. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nMF: For first-time cleansers, I
\nwould recommend our DIY Detox<\/a>! It consists of 4 16-oz fruit and vegetable
\njuices, plus one light meal of your choosing, for 3 days. It’s a great option
\nfor people who have never done a cleanse before, and want to get the
\ndetoxifying benefits of doing a cleanse, without completely giving up
\nfood. ($79-$99)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nMF: We always want communicate that
\nwe are not medical professionals, and cannot treat, diagnose, or prescribe.
\nThat being said, juicing allows your body to readily absorb super potent
\nsources of vitamins, minerals, and live enzymes that aids with tissue growth.
\nAdding any of the following ingredients to your juice will have huge health
\nbenefits: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
