    view answer

    Our production process is much simpler than that of other juice companies:
    • We hand select the highest quality fruits & vegetables to squeeze our juices.
    • We squeeze our juices daily & to-order in small batches. We do not keep inventory of our juice like other brands.
    • Our juices are gourmet pasteurized at the minimum temperature, for the minimum amount of time, to retain quality & nutrition. All of our juices have a short shelf life, ensuring that the nutrients are still present in the juice. Juices that have up to 90-day shelf life are typically pasteurized at high temperatures for extended periods of time.
    • Our juices are clean label & have no preservatives, no concentrates, no flavor packs, no GMOs, & no artificial ingredients. It is our passion and purpose to produce minimal ingredient juices to ensure our consumers receive a source of authentic nutrition.

  • Why does the juice change flavors throughout the year?

    view answer

    We squeeze oranges and grapefruit all 12 months of the year. There are over 15 different orange varieties & 11 different grapefruit varieties grown, each with their own unique flavor, color & aroma. We strive to produce a juice with a consistent flavor profile; however, there will always be a variation in taste due to the varieties of oranges & grapefruit used. We always use the sweetest, most mature fruit available to make your juice.

  • Is the juice diluted with water?

    view answer

    No! We provide you with a wholesome source of nutrition by never adding water to dilute our juices. We give you the juice that is in the fruit - nothing more & nothing less!
    *Exception: Water is one of the main ingredients in our Natural Lemonade & Strawberry Lemonade.

  • I noticed these juices are not low sugar items, why? What type of sugar is added? *Holistic Juice Line*

    view answer

    Our Holistic Juices, just like all of our other juices, contain NO added sugars. The sugar content, listed on the nutrition label, represents the sugar that’s naturally found in the fruit and other blended ingredients. Everybody needs some sugar in their diet, and the best sugar to consume is that which occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables. We welcome the upcoming change in labeling laws that will require all brands to list amounts of natural sugar and added sugar separately, so customers can clearly identify the type of sugar present and steer clear of juices with added sugars.

  • What makes these functional juices different than the others on shelf? *Holistic Juice Line*

  • What is the difference between herbs & spices? *Holistic Juice Line*

    view answer

    Natalie's has carefully selected special health-promoting botanicals & spices when formulating our line of Holistic Juices. It's funny, many people confuse spices with herbs when they actually are very different parts of the plant. Herbs come from the green, leafy portion of the plant, while spices come from the roots, stem, bark or even ground seeds of the plant. The ginger, pepper & turmeric you find in our Holistic Juices are spices & we always source the very freshest we can find. We also use botanicals, which consists of the flower portion of the plant.

  • What are botanicals? *Holistic Juice Line*
