Cold Off the Press

PJC has four different Juice Programs that appeal to all kinds of juice drinkers. For beginners there is Program 1 - Getting Juicy. For those craving a balance of vitamins, nutrients, and enzymes with minimal naturally occurring sugars, there is Program 2 - Balance. For those looking for the maximum detox, Program 3 - Evergreen is available. And for those wanting to experience the benefits of adding diverse nutrients to their diet there is Program 4 - Drink the Rainbow. 

Both juices and smoothies are packed with nutrients, but, to better understand the difference between the two, you need to understand how they are made. 

When it comes down to smoothies and juice creations, the base is an important factor in overall taste. The base chosen for each item at The Pittsburgh Juice Company (PJC) is carefully evaluated. We look for bases that are nutritious, while still maintaining a taste profile that is enjoyable.

One of our signature elixirs at The Pittsburgh Juice Company is the Immunity Fireball. This elixir gets its name from both its function and its fiery taste. Each ingredient in the Immunity Fireball is jam-packed with health benefits.

Cold-press juicing is the process of applying a slow pressing action directly to the fruits and vegetables. A filter holds back the fibrous pulp, allowing juice to be extracted. This process preserves vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and overall nutrients due to minimal oxidation and elimination of heat (through lack of friction) from the juicing process. This method maintains the nutritional integrity of the fruits and vegetables, as well as the beneficial living enzymes even after the juice is cold-pressed.
