Juice FAQ
Why Do A Cold-Pressed Juice Reboot
A whopping 95% of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes that are needed by our bodies are found in the raw juices of fruits and veggies. Consuming these vitamins and minerals in juice form means they are absorbed by the body more quickly and fully than any other method… Thereby giving your digestive system a chance to kick-back, and focus on itself for once. It is also a weight loss aid - we have found that it is possible to lose between 3-6lb (approx. 1-2.5kg) whilst on this juice fast. (Results will vary from person to person, and are not guaranteed).Â
What Does Cold-Pressed Mean?.Â
The clue here is in the name. Put simply, by keeping the juice cool during the juicing process, more essential nutrients are retained, making for a healthier, more nutritionally beneficial juice. A more traditional, centrifugal juicer will heat the juice as part of the process, oxidising the nutrients, rendering it less powerful and nutritionally sound.Â
What Do We Use To Cold-Press Our Juices?
The Nutriseed Technical Team spent a year scouring the planet for the most trusted, efficient industrial-sized cold-pressed juicer. We aren’t kidding, seriously. It was when we found Goodnature in California, USA, we were introduced to the X-1. It ticked each and every box that we had drawn; it uses hydraulic press technology, is hugely efficient and boasted the tastiest juices that we had ever tried. The juice it produced was nothing short sensational.
"When Nutriseed came to Goodnature looking for the latest in cold-pressed juice technology, we knew we had just the thing for them, the X-1. The team were so excited they flew out to California to see us. They pressed their first juices right here with us and haven’t looked back since! Nutriseed absolutely loved the efficiency of the X-1 and the freshness in the taste of the juice it creates, and as they say, the rest is history!"
- Dale Whettlaufer, Founder & CEO of GoodnatureÂ
Why Do A Cold-Pressed Juice Diet?
Providing your body with nothing but freshly pressed vitamins, minerals and nutrients can help to remove unwanted toxins and free radicals and can contribute to you to feeling fitter, healthier and more alert. It is known as a cleanse as it gives your body a good clean, and can rid it of anything unhealthy or not nutritionally beneficial. It is also a nutrient-dense way to introduce your body to a low-carb diet, providing it with all the vitamins and healthy fats that you need, but nothing more.
How Will I Feel During My Cleanse? Will I Get Hungry?
Our individual experiences will all differ whilst on a juice fast, as it is very much linked to the overall health of our bodies. Some people may feel more fatigued than normal, others may feel a rush of energy. This is because your body is experiencing something new for the first time. It is perfectly understandable that you will feel hungry, especially in the evenings. It is recommended to plan for this mentally and logistically (with regard to being around food), and will merit a certain amount of self-discipline. It is best to keep yourself busy and try not to think about or surround yourself with solid foods.
What Will I Receive?
Five different juices for each of your days, in one single delivery. The cold-pressed juices are flash-frozen immediately after pressing and will reach you perfectly chilled or partially frozen after transit. You can safely pop them straight back into your freezer for up to three months without compromising flavour, texture or nutritional integrity. Transfer to your fridge 24 hours ahead of consumption to thaw.
How Should I Store The Nutriseed Cold-Pressed Juice Diet?
Once your delivery has arrived, transfer all juices straight into the freezer. The night before (or 12 hours) pop the following day's juices into the fridge for defrosting. If any of them are not fully defrosted, place the juices into a jug of warm water for approximately 10 minutes. Shake gently before drinking, and enjoy.
Will I Really Be Able To Cope?
While it is a commitment that requires dedication, this program is not intended to starve you in any way. It is designed to give you all the vitamins and minerals that your body needs.
How Will I Feel Afterwards?
By completing the Nutriseed Cold-Pressed Juice Diet you should feel healthier, fitter and refreshed. The nutrients within the juices should help your skin to glow and repair and will put you in the perfect position to embark on a weight loss program if desired.
Will I Lose Weight?
If you keep to only consuming the juices provided, our experience tells us that you should lose weight. This will vary from person to person depending on how healthy they are, but you should expect to lose on average around 3-6lb (approx. 1-2.5kg). (This, of course, is not guaranteed).
I’d Like To Lose A Little Weight In Time For My Holiday, Will This Help?
Absolutely, it is possible to lose up to 7lb (approx. 2.5kg) in five days, although this is not guaranteed.Â
I’d Like To Order The Juices Not As A Diet, But Just To Enjoy Them. Is That Possible?
Absolutely, there is no reason at all why you cannot enjoy them as regular healthy juices. They are perfect for parties or events where you know that your guests value nutrient rich, healthy foods. Please contact the Nutriseed Team if this is the case. Please just bear in mind though that due to it being fresh produce, the juices have a maximum of an 8 day life, whilst kept refrigerated.
How Healthy Are The Ingredients Used To Make The Cold-Pressed Juice Diet?
The only ingredients used within the Nutriseed Cold-Pressed Juice Diet are fresh fruit and vegetables, in addition some of Nutriseed’s superfood powders. There are no preservatives, additives or artificial ingredients used within any of our juices.Â
Should I Consume Anything Other Than The Cold-Pressed Juices?
Drinking lots of water throughout the day, and beginning and ending the day with a glass of warm water with fresh lemon and Manuka honey, would be encouraged and considered fine. Other than this nothing else should be consumed, especially no caffeine.Â
Is There Anything That I Should Avoid Whilst On The Cold-Pressed Juice Diet?
As you may guess, whilst cleansing, it is advised to avoid smoking, drinking alcohol and all solid foods. If you wish to work out, its no problem to exercise in moderation but avoid intense, strenuous work outs.
Why Should I Not Do The Cold-Pressed Juice Diet?
It is not recommended to cleanse if you are pregnant, although you can enjoy the juices as part of your balanced diet. If you have any pre-existing health conditions or if you are on medication, it is strongly advised to consult your Doctor or GP prior to purchasing a Cold-Pressed Cleanse.
I Have Lots Of Allergies, Can I Do The Cold-Pressed Juice Diet?
Nutriseed cold-pressed juices are Vegan Approved, vegetarian-friendly and gluten free. A couple of the juices however do contain celery, or sulphites (within the Goji Berry Powder).Â
Are There Any Side Effects Of A Juice Fast?
All of our bodies are different, and there is a possibility that you will experience any of the following:
A varied range of bodily sensations, such as excess energy and exhilaration, to feeling light-headed or fatigued.
A change in bowl movements.
Headaches, hyperglycaemia, constipation, difficulty focusing, acne, increased body odour and bad breath. These have all been noted as being temporary, and affect some people lots and others not at all.
These effects should all be expected as temporary possible outcomes, however should these any other symptoms persist as a result of the cleanse, please consult your Doctor or GP.
I Have Noticed Some ‘Bits’ At The Bottom Of Some Of The Bottles. Is This Normal?
Because the juices are made from fresh fruits and vegetables, with no other additives it is perfectly normal for some of the ingredients to separate. We have noticed this particularly with Cayenne Pepper in Neon (No. 2) and the Spirulina Powder in Another Kind of Green (No. 4).
Can I Take The Juices To Work With Me For Lunch?
Absolutely, as long as they are kept refrigerated, they can be enjoyed anywhere.
Do I Resume To My Regular Diet Straight After I Have Completed It?
We recommend that you gradually reintroduce yourself to solid foods. It is best to begin this with small portions of fruits, vegetables or salads, and then move on to unprocessed foods such as eggs, dairy, whole grains and cereals. It is not recommended to eat heavy meals too soon, but to wait until your body feels ready.
Are The Juices Organic?
While the Juices are not organic, they are freshly cold-pressed in-house, vegan-friendly, made using locally sourced fruit and vegetables, dairy-free and gluten-free.
Is It Okay To Re-freeze The Juices?
We recommend thawing out one day of juices at a time. But if in case you need to refreeze them, yes you can.
Can I Leave The Juices At Room Temperature?
No, the juices and smoothies need to be kept frozen (will last up to 30 days) or in the fridge (will last up to 7 days) until you are ready to consume, and once thawed need to be consumed within the next 7 days.Â
Do I Have To Drink The Juices Immediately?
Not necessarily. Since our juices are shipped frozen there is no rush to drink them. If you do not plan on starting the juice cleanse as soon as you receive your shipment the bottles should be stored in the freezer (will last up to 30 days) or in the fridge (will last up to 8 days).Â
I Opened My Package And The Juices Were Partially Thawed. What Should I Do?
Your juices are still perfectly good. If they are partially defrosted bottle then your juice is still at 32-35 degrees and is safe to be consumed. You can stick them back in the freezer if you are not ready to cleanse or you can put them in the refrigerator to start consuming immediately. It is up to you!
Why Are The Juices Frozen?
Our juices are delivered frozen to maintain the shelf life without destroying its nutrients or flavors. Freezing keeps the quality of the juice intact while in the process of transportation. This allows you to benefit from its wide range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and enzymes when most convenient for you.
Will the Juices Fit In My Freezer?
The bottles contain 250 ml of juices and are not bulky. Here is the dimension of the bottle for you estimate if they will fit in your fridge 15.5 cm high with lid, perimeter 18.5 cm, bottle base 5.5 cm.
When Do You Prepare The Juices?
You can place the order in advance (i.e a week or month's ahead of your preferred delivery date) but we only prepare the juices a day before the delivery date.
Why Is The Shipping Cost Expensive?
The juices are all natural fresh fruits and vegetables and are perishable thus they are being shipped via premium express delivery which is more expensive than the usual express shipping.
Can I Take Solid Food While On Juice Cleanse?
Whilst cleansing, it is advised to avoid smoking, drinking alcohol and all solid foods. If you wish to work out, its no problem to exercise in moderation but avoid intense, strenuous work outs.
I Want To Change The Delivery Address?
You can change delivery by logging in to your account. If you need to change the delivery address for an existing order, please contact our customer care team immediately so we change before dispatch, ideally 24 hours before your preferred delivery date (by phone) and 2 days (by email).Â
Can I Return Nutriseed Cold Pressed Juices?
Due to the nature of the product we are unable to offer refunds or returns. If there is any need to change details like delivery address, you are required to contact us at least 24 hours before your preferred delivery date. We can no longer change the address once the juices have been dispatched.
Are There No Added Sugar For Juices?
We can confirm that our juice cleanse is all natural and does not contain any added sugar and is safe for diabetics to consume. Fruit does contain some natural sugar. Fruit contains two types of sugar: fructose and glucose. Most fruits have low to medium glycaemic index, so they do not lead to a sharp rise in your blood glucose levels compared to other carbohydrate-containing foods like white or wholemeal bread.
Why Are the Juices in Plastic Bottles?
You can 100% trust that we are as committed to protecting the health of our planet in the same way we aim to protect your own! We’ve scoured the planet for the best packaging option for our Cold Pressed Juice and honestly - the option of recycled plastic rPET which we, in turn, urge you to recycle, had the lowest possible carbon footprint. Glass didn’t work - the flash-freezing process to lock in the nutrients - caused it to shatter and the only alternative to switching to glass, was to heat pasteurise the juice, losing the nutritional benefits and the power used in the heat process having its own negative impact on the environment!
Recommended Days of Juice Cleanse to Take or Order
How many days you choose to juice for comes down to personal preference and the reasons that you have decided to go on a juice cleanse. If it's your first time starting out I'd personally recommend staring with a 3 Day Cleanse and seeing how your body reacts to the changes before increasing the amount of days. However if you are a seasoned juice pro, the 5 or 10 day options would be a better alternative.
