In this interview we gain insight into the life-changing power of juicing through the remarkable journey of Sarah, co-founder of The Social HQ. Sarah shares about her health transformation and the pivotal role that juicing played in her life. From her initial skepticism about juicing to a surprising turn of events that led to her pregnancy, Sarah’s story is both inspiring and eye-opening.
Most of us know calcium as the foundation of strong bones and teeth, and that’s true – it’s like the building blocks of our skeletal system. But calcium’s influence goes way beyond that. This mineral coordinates communication between nerves, ensuring our muscles contract and relax with precision. When you get a cut, calcium quickly works its magic to help your blood clot to stop bleeding. It also directs enzymes to perform various essential tasks inside our cells. Without enough calcium, things can go south quickly – bones can weaken, muscles might not cooperate, and even basic functions like blood clotting can stumble. So, calcium is not to be overlooked, as its role is absolutely crucial for our overall health and well-being.
Calcium is a fundamental building block for bones as it aids in their maintenance and strength. Providing the foundation for structural support, calcium is a significant component of our bones’ mineralized matrix. It combines with other minerals like phosphate to form hydroxyapatite crystals, which make up a significant portion of bone tissue. During periods of growth, such as childhood and adolescence, calcium is crucial for forming new bone tissue. Adequate calcium intake during these stages ensures proper bone development and maximizes bone density. Calcium’s job continues throughout life, as our bones undergo a continuous process of remodeling, where old bone tissue is broken down by specialized cells called osteoclasts and new bone tissue is formed by osteoblasts. Calcium is needed to supply the building blocks for this ongoing renewal process.
In today’s blog, I get to highlight my favorite aspect of working at PURE Juicer, and that is seeing people’s transformations and witnessing how juicing changes lives for the better. I had the pleasure of interviewing Nicole Boyle who tells her story about getting started with juicing, improving her migraines, and sharing her passion for wellness with loved ones. In this conversation, Nicole takes us through her juicing journey, while debunking misconceptions, exploring new recipes, and discovering great improvements to her health. We’ll learn how Nicole seamlessly incorporates juicing into her weekly routine, reaping the amazing health benefits, and sharing these joyful moments with her precious daughter!
Did you know that stage one of the PURE Juicer can make outrageous snow cones to enjoy in the summer, or anytime you crave one? We have been playing in the test kitchen and we came up with five of the tastiest (and healthiest) shaved ice/snow cone recipes we think you are gonna wanna try. We hope you will be inspired to come up with your favorite snow cone creations!
The basic ingredient for each recipe here is ice. Ice just needs to fit through the feed chute as the grinder is strong enough to break any kind of ice down. No grid required! We did an Instagram live a while back and learned a valuable lesson…do not use a grid plate. This will ensure nothing gets stuck. The ice will come through on the other side and be perfect for your dessert. 👌

The PURE Juicer is the best two-step cold-press juicer on the market: grinding and pressing raw produce results in the most nutritious juice options to improve your health.
Lately, however, we have been experimenting with using only the press of the PURE Juicer to discover its effects on different types of produce. When our Chief Juicing Officer Jen found a great deal on melons–cantaloupe, watermelon, and honeydew–she knew she needed to buy them all and bring them to our test kitchen.
Carrot-apple juice is a staple in Gerson Therapy and for our entire staff. The health benefits of carrots and apples (and their delicious taste!) easily make them some of our favorite ingredients.
When we stumbled upon a recipe for homemade carrot cake from Jessica Seinfeld’s book Vegan, at Times, we were excited to try it out in our test kitchen using our PURE Juicer grinder to provide home-ground apples and carrots.

Homemade hummus made entirely of raw, whole, natural ingredients? Yes, please. The PURE Juicer makes this process a breeze when you simply grind the ingredients through stage one. This recipe allows for modifications according to personal taste: start with our suggestions below but feel free to play around with the spices, especially the cumin and garlic! We used a #4 PURE juicer grid, but if you prefer a super-fine grind, use the #2.
