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.

Despite facing challenges in conceiving, Sarah’s experience with juicing not only transformed her perspective but also played a vital role in her natural pregnancy. Her story sheds light on the importance of nutrition and how it was often overlooked by medical professionals in her fertility journey.

JL: Hello everybody I am Jen Longtin here from PURE Juicer. It is so great to be here for another interview of Spotlight Juicer. Today we have Sarah who is the co-founder of The Social HQ. If you didn’t see Nicole’s interview, that was one that we did recently. I welcome you to visit that one as well. Now Sarah is here with us.  I love to call her “The Reluctant Juicer” just because there are many people out there who have similar beginnings, similar stories. Sarah it is so great to have you here, welcome!

When we started juicing, my business partner would make it for me and it was so good it tasted so clean. Once I started having from the PURE Juicer, I couldn’t go back to normal juice! It just didn’t taste the same, I don’t know why. And juicing just changed my life. Also, I was having a really hard time getting pregnant. I kept being told that there was nothing wrong with me and that it would just happen naturally and I just needed to give it more time. I started seeing an IVF doctor to move the process along just because I was unsure what was causing it.  We were just told that I had lower hormones and that’s what was causing the issue. But, then I started juicing, and after I started juicing for three months, I got pregnant naturally. No intervention. So, I really think that the PURE had a huge part to do with it because we tried for two years and didn’t get pregnant and then started juicing and all of a sudden we were able to get pregnant! They claimed that because of the fact that I had more nutrition and more vitamins that maybe it boosted my system and that’s why I got pregnant. But because of that I just can’t stop now I just want to keep going and especially my first trimester I was really sick. I had shingles, I couldn’t process any food and then I had the PURE. I was like ‘I’m just gonna try PURE juicing’ and then I was juicing probably three or four times a week to try to keep my body energized and give me the nutrition I needed for me and my baby. I couldn’t drink water, water tasted disgusting, metallic. Then I tried orange juice, first in the grocery store or lemonade but it was either way too sweet or it didn’t taste real. It tasted fake. So the PURE saved me through my pregnancy. So far I highly recommend it to everyone because when you put things in your body you want the cleanest of the clean. I don’t put my food in plastic Tupperware so why would I use a plastic juicer. It’s kind of a huge benefit to me of having a PURE.

JL: Well, first of all, huge congratulations! I am so lucky to know that you are pregnant before it was officially announced. I didn’t want to spoil the surprise before I announced you, but I am so, so happy for you and your family. Congratulations! I mean all of this  success is because of you. And that PURE could play any role is amazing! Whether it’s getting the nutrients in on a more regular basis. You had mentioned that your doctor didn’t really talk to you about nutrition but did talk about medications, is that right?

SD: Yep. So initially when I started with IVF all they were talking to me about was “here’s this drug you can go on to help with ovulation.” But I didn’t have any ovulation issues. ‘Here’s another drug to help with this,’ not once was it like ‘hey let’s talk about nutrition,’ because if they had just talked about that maybe I could have started the process sooner or maybe I could have gotten pregnant sooner. My PCP didn’t talk about it or my OBGYN or my IVF doctor. Not one person mentioned nutrition. It was all ‘here’s a medication that’s going to help you get better.’

JL: I don’t think that they typically use the green apples for apple juice and there are so many health benefits to the green apple and the red apple quite frankly. But I love that carrot-apple combination! I’m so glad that you have that and romaine is, I think Nicole talked about that too, but it’s actually really high in protein. So very, very juicy and also really a great source of protein for people who may not be able to eat meat which doesn’t sound like you were able to keep much of anything down.

SD: No, and then Nicole also made a lot of beet juice with pineapple and beets are so good when you’re trying to get pregnant. But again, no one spoke to me about it. They’re just like ‘here’s the medication that you can go on’ and I was like ‘nope.’ There has to be a better way, there has to be an easier way for my body to respond.

JL: Now, how has the juicing gone now that you are not as close? So you don’t get the benefit of Nicole’s juice, but you have your own juicer now. What are you making these days that fills your cravings and makes you feel satiated or just feels good?

SD: So, recently I actually tried making a honeydew melon which I wasn’t sure how it would taste because I’ve never juiced one before. But it tasted really good. A lot different than I expected. Then I’ve been on a watermelon kick with anything. Watermelon with lime. But when I first started out doing multiple fruits, it was overwhelming and intimidating so I’d stick to one fruit, like a pineapple or a watermelon. But now that I have the hang of it and know how to do it, I do one or three fruits. But I try not to go over three because I feel like the taste just isn’t the same. I don’t really know how to do more than three yet.

JL: Honestly when we first started the periodic table and all of the recipes with the periodic table, that was the one agreement, that we could only have three ingredients per recipe. With that in mind, knowing that you can always add things to it that you crave. But three is sort of the limit for anyone’s mental capacity so I’m right there with you. Three is a sweet sweet number. Always including apples, so even if there isn’t an apple in those top three then just throw an apple in because I love them!

JL: Yeah, I just started making watermelon lime with strawberry and I also started putting aloe gel. Getting the leaf, cutting aloe, and pressing it all together is so good! And you can’t taste the aloe which is so bitter so you actually don’t want to taste the aloe, so if you can do that combination it’s incredible!

SD: That sounds amazing! Yeah, I love being able to grind up the apple and the carrot and get all the amazing flavor and then I have that wonderful pulp I’ve made into carrot muffins, zucchini muffins and all these things!  I’m not wasting anything. I don’t feel like I’m just throwing away a plastic container that I got my juice from. I’m juicing and then I’m using the pulp and I’m using the juice. I love it!

JL: Oh my gosh, well one of the surprises that I had when you started juicing and when you were hooked on it, is that you said ‘I just can’t buy any store-bought juice anymore’ because it just does not compare. So is that correct?

SD: It was a plastic juicer. I would try a blender and a blender just did not taste like juice. You can’t strain it, it just doesn’t work. Then trying to juice with the different juicer that is plastic…I just feel like it has that weird aftertaste and it makes me kind of concerned nowadays because plastic can seep into stuff. You just never know what could happen. So, if you don’t have plastic in a juicer, which you don’t for a PURE, it just tastes clean and I don’t feel guilty about drinking it.

JL: You know what’s interesting too, is Gerson put together his regimen for people who were really, really sick to heal them. It’s interesting that as we’re looking at our younger generations with the issues around fertility and reproductive health…it’s almost like cleaning house and getting your body ready to have a baby. And, this is not medical advice. It’s just conversation. It was designed for him to cure migraines. It wasn’t for curing cancer, it wasn’t for anything like that. It was for curing his migraines and it basically just cleaned his system out. I’m learning more about potassium too and how important that is, so I’m glad that you have carrots and apples. Keep that in your list of recipes.

JL: What was the biggest surprise, as a reluctant juicer, you have a busy life, you have a business that you’re running, you’re all running all over the place, your husband is busy, you guys are traveling… As a reluctant juicer, what was your biggest surprise once you started juicing, besides getting pregnant?

But, now it’s just so easy!  I don’t even think about it, it just goes in there and I press it and it makes it less messy actually. It comes apart and can go in the dishwasher which is such a huge thing. I can just take it all apart, use a sponge, clean off the counter and everything just goes in the dishwasher.

JL: Yeah. What advice would you have for someone who’s just getting started or maybe it’s you seven months ago before you hit your six months, what would you tell yourself now about juicing?

SD: So I think there’s a lot of benefits that people don’t talk about that are super important. I didn’t realize how much nutrition is in juicing especially cold pressed juicing so I would say if you’re trying to eat a ton of salads every day you can still get that same nutritional value by juicing. I did not know that when I first started and that was a huge thing for me, so I’d say that’s my advice. My other advice is everything that you try is going to be overwhelming at first because you’re not used to doing it, you’re not in the pattern. But I think if you really commit to your health… I was committed to getting pregnant and I didn’t want to go on medication to get pregnant so that was my goal. I did everything I could and I researched… I know beets are really good when you’re trying to get pregnant but I don’t love eating beets unless they’re roasted so I was like ‘how can I incorporate this into my day’ so I’d say figure out what your goal is and then figure out like how you can use juicing to hit your goal! You don’t need to be super super healthy to juice, I’m just an average human that works out three days a week, so I didn’t do anything extreme in order to add juicing into my schedule.

JL: I love it. The periodic table, we now have sexual health in here and we have a blog written by an expert. Beets are on there, greens, are super super good. Dates, fennel and chili peppers…spices. Oh my gosh! You said your little girl likes spice.

S: Yeah! Bring on those chilies. Chili peppers, pomegranates, pumpkin seed and watermelon! I drink a lot of watermelon.

JL: Yeah watermelon is great. Watermelon is so great. The periodic table has that new section which was inspired a lot by your story and so many stories that we hear. I love the focus, not just on pregnancy, but on nutrition and getting more nutrients into your body and letting your body do what it does best, which is find homeostasis. If there is anything else that I’ve missed you’ve been amazing. Again, congratulations! Is there anything else that you would like to share with the audience, the peer community or anything?

SD: If you’re considering juicing I would start with a PURE. I feel it’s the best juicer on the market. I’ve tried three or four different juicers. At one point I was trying them because I was trying to see if it could improve my health and then once I tried the PURE I just couldn’t go back to anything else. It just tastes so good. There’s nothing like it. So I would say I would highly recommend it!

JL: Man if it was up to me I would work with everyone personally. Like with you and Nicole so that we could all have these stories but I’m just so grateful that you gave it a shot and that you’ve found so much success. I’m so glad you were able to get juice in, even when you couldn’t even drink water.

SD: Couldn’t do it.

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 and Bone Health

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.

Osteoporosis Prevention

Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones that are more prone to fractures due to a decrease in bone density and quality. Often, osteoporosis develops silently, with no noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs. Calcium is pivotal in preventing osteoporosis by acting as the architectural backbone of bone health. Adequate calcium intake throughout life ensures the development of a strong bone structure that can withstand the natural decline in bone density that comes with age. 

How much calcium do you need?

For adults aged 19 to 50 years, the recommended daily calcium intake is 1,000 milligrams (mg). This guideline is based on general dietary recommendations. However, specific needs may vary depending on gender, age, health status, and activity level.

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!

– Hello everybody. Jen Longtin here from PURE Juicer. I am so excited to have Nicole Boyle with us today. She is the co-founder of The Social Headquarters out on the east coast. She has a daughter, and an amazing story about juicing and it’s help with her migraines. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Nicole for close to two years now. Welcome, Nicole!

NB

– Yes! I’m excited to be here and to talk about juicing and everything. It’s definitely been a fun thing to do with my daughter, Olivia. It’s a fun way for us to bond as well as all the health benefits. So, I’m excited!

JL

People aren’t here to listen to me. They want to hear your story. So, if you could share your story about juicing and what it was like before and now that you’re juicing and what you’ve noticed since you’ve started. I think that would be perfect.

NB

Yeah, definitely. So I got started juicing consistently over this past winter. When we were having a conversation, I was telling you about how I was getting a ton of migraines and they were getting so bad, to the point where I would just be done for the day and nothing really worked for it. So I started juicing and I made it more of a consistent thing. In the beginning it was a few times per week and now I’m at the point where I try to, at least Monday through Friday, always have like one to two cold-pressed juices each day. And I know it’s getting better, it’s really good!  I feel like over these past few months I’ve seen so many different changes. So when I first started I was the type of person that would go to Starbucks every morning, grab my refresher or a coffee and start my day. And now it’s become grabbing the juice out of my fridge. I feel like that benefit has been huge and my headaches have been starting to get better and things like that. I feel like it’s helping on that side as well. It’s definitely been awesome!

JL

That’s amazing. What I love too is that you were somewhat reluctant in the beginning. Pain motivates us all. I’m so glad that it turned into a positive. There’s something that’s interesting too is that when I started juicing, I was not vegan. But when I started to juice, I lost all interest in meat. Like I did not crave it. And when I smelled it, I did not want it. And the only thing that was different was juicing.

So it doesn’t surprise me at all that, you know, for you with the caffeine, that your body just doesn’t want it anymore. I also love that you listen to your body and that it’s like, I’m good.

NB

Right. Especially ’cause once you get started into juicing, you learn about all the health benefits of fruits, vegetables, and all these things. So you’re like, I could have this in the morning and start my day off good, as opposed to like a coffee or something that’s loaded with sugar and stuff like that. So yeah, it’s definitely been something that I’m trying to stay consistent with.

JL

What juices are you making these days? What are your go-tos or your favorite?

NB

I’ll say my go-to one is definitely always beet, pineapple and ginger. It’s just one of the ones that I liked from the get-go. I think previously I thought juicing had to taste gross and like it was your typical cold-pressed green juice. It was never something that I thought would be good. So I first had pineapple juice, beet juice and ginger and I just love it. I make that religiously, every single week just because for me, with being so busy, just having my go-to one, you learn how to make it, it’s quick, it’s fast. But then I sometimes add in celery, lemon, limes or carrot and apples is another big one that I do. So those would kind of be my go-to, it’s really good.

JL

Then Olivia, your daughter who’s three, loves to juice. I have the cutest video of you guys, like the pineapple. It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen because she snuck it, right?

NB

Yeah, literally. So I record myself juicing and I was rewatching one of the times we did it and her new thing is now licking the pineapple ’cause she loves to, when we have all the beets and everything all grinded up, she likes to be the one to put it on top of the pineapple before we wrap it up. And so I was doing something over on the press and I re-watched the video and she’s licking all the pineapples! So if you ever get juice made from us…

 Her favorite is definitely pineapple strawberry. Of course, being a kid that’s kind of like her go-to. But I’ve taken that pineapple strawberry and turned it into freeze pops for her.

JL

That’s amazing. I bet if you throw some greens into it, even some softer ones like spinach or romaine – it’s so light and watery that it’s a great one to add in there. If you can add celery or romaine to that I think that would be wonderful.

And it’s really good, it’s got a high level of  protein. Mimi Kirk in her book says that it’s got one of the highest levels of protein of any green.

NB

Yeah. So I’ll have to do that next. We just juiced this morning and as soon as she knows I take the bags out of the freezer she instantly pulls up her stool to the counter and gets ready to juice. She has to be the one to fold it and do everything. It’s definitely become a good way for us to bond which is awesome because I never anticipated her being interested in the thing. So yeah, it’s really cool!

JL

You can get comfortable juicing with a PURE Juicer because it looks complicated, but…What was the learning curve like for you?

NB

Yeah, I want to say it’s a lot more intimidating at first and then maybe a week or so into it you get more comfortable. You get more comfortable with the dial when you turn it up to press and just know what to do at first. So I would say probably within the first month it just became faster and second nature.

But that’s also why in the beginning I stuck with like a few recipes just to get familiar with doing those. So it became faster, especially with juicing in the morning. I just want to make sure it’s fast and things go well.

JL

Yeah, good for you! That’s about right. And everything can be done the same or it can be done differently depending on how you like to do it. I mean I like to have the best experience for each thing so I like to switch it up and adjust based on that. But it also doesn’t have to be like that either. You can stick with your 10 grid or whichever one you like the best.

NB

Yeah I think that’s one of the other misconceptions that I had before which was that there were set instructions you had to follow. But it’s not the case. Like you said, the juicer’s so good in the sense that you can find what works for you. Of course there are the guidelines and things like that but it makes it so simple. Sometimes I just see what’s left in my fridge and put things together and again you get familiar with either the bags or the clothes and you find what works. I feel it’s a lot easier than what I thought beforehand. It’s not a set plan or anything that you have to follow too much, which makes it easy.

JL

For anyone getting started and I would say with juicing in general, because you were new to juicing as well as new to PURE. What did you learn or what would you tell yourself before PURE Juicer and before you started juicing, about getting started and to get yourself started sooner or to take the fear away from it?

NB

I think that it isn’t going to take as much time as you think. It can easily flow in my schedule. Especially with having Olivia getting out the door fast in the morning. Especially with owning a business, it can fit right into my schedule easily. Typically on Sundays I’ll make cold-pressed juice for the first half of the week and then Wednesdays or Thursdays making juice for the second half. And it’s just what works. Honestly, just get started finding a recipe or two in the beginning. I think another important thing is to just try a bunch of different things until you find something that you like. I remember one of the first recipes I did when I first made the beet ginger and pineapple juice, I put too much beet and it was just way too much. But you learn as you go and figure out the amounts you need. I like to taste-test as I go. So that’s what works best.

JL

Tasting changes over time too, because what you taste a lot you get used to and then you can take a little bit more especially with beets. Beets and ginger, right? Starting off small, you’re like, ooh, I kind of like that bite. Or I like that extra earthy flavor or something.

NB

And the other thing that’s changed, that I didn’t anticipate changing, I was never one to add beets or ginger to anything. And now ‘cause of the health benefits, I remember learning from you, to have beets more often. So I think that was a big motivator. But now I actually, like you said, enjoy the taste and I look forward to the ginger. When I run outta ginger I’m like, ugh, this juice isn’t going to be as good!

JL

Right and you think about nitric oxide, which is really high in beets and how that helps open your blood vessels. And that’s known mainly for cardiovascular but also for all of the vasculature in your brain as well. So if you can do anything to naturally give your body some relief in the pressure as well as the anti-inflammatories of the ginger. I mean, what a great combination. And I love that you intuitively created that and that’s your go-to cold pressed juice. I love that. And I absolutely believe that our bodies know what we need. And that’s such a great suggestion to just try a bunch of things too. ’cause you don’t know what you need until you try it.

NB

Yeah, exactly. And you just kind of find something that you like the taste of and you just kind of, again, just keep making it and keep going. And of course, PURE’s Instagram page is huge, it comes with a little cookbook of recipes and things like that. So that’s also super helpful, especially when coming up with different ideas. 

JL

You’ll have to try some of the mocktails. I don’t remember if we put beet in any of them but we did one with cherries, fig and pears. So when you have your next social HQ event or a retreat or something, you can make a bunch of that and sip on it. It’s got such great flavor. You don’t even need spices or anything but you certainly can if you want to.

NB

I’ll definitely try that! I know sometimes when I go to meet my mom in the morning…She watches Olivia during the day and I’ll make her juice. I think the other fun part is getting to make other people stuff. I wouldn’t say I do that too often but definitely when I get to, it’s awesome.

JL

Yeah, those are all my favorite things. Like when you get to do it with your kids, share it with the people that you love. I started juicing for my parents too and now they’re eating more vegetables and fruits than ever before. And that’s just amazing when we as women put our health first all of a sudden it starts to extend to all of the people that we care about.

NB

It’s so true. And that’s also something I wanted Olivia to see me prioritizing some of these things. It just seemed like such a fluid way to do it by including her in and getting to go through kind of all of this. It’s definitely kick-started a wellness journey too, which is really cool.

JL

So cool. I’m so happy for you! Were there any surprises about PURE Juicer that you had a conception as, maybe it was too complicated, it would be too messy, or anything in your mind that surprised you now that you juice as often as you do?

NB

Yes, I would say in the beginning when I first got it, I remember thinking cleaning it was going to be hard.  But now it’s honestly so quick. You just take the different parts off, quickly rinse them, and it’s so fast. It doesn’t take long at all, just a few minutes. That was definitely something I was like, “Wow this is a lot easier and not as time consuming as I was thinking it would be.” Which is awesome. And the other thing I still feel surprised at after all these months is how much juice comes out!  When you use the PURE and for pineapples as you know, you put it in the cloth and fold it and then you keep folding it. Olivia and I are just like, “oh my God, look, more juice!”  That’s another huge benefit is how strong the press is.

JL

Oh my gosh, I can’t wait. I’ve got a huge watermelon that I’m about to press and it’s just going to be a continuum. 

Yes.

More, there’s more.

NB

Yeah you literally just want to get every last little bit. It becomes like this prized possession and you don’t want to waste anything.

JL

You don’t, because you don’t have to. You get to do it as many times as you want. If you’re too busy you don’t have to and you’re still ahead. So that’s what I always tell myself.

 Is there anything else that you want to share about juicing, health, your experience, PURE Juicer, anything else? This has been so helpful and so interesting.

I know the time has flown by! I would just say one other little tip – if you’re just getting started, have the periodic table chart. I feel like that became my best friend in the beginning just to look up, if I want to add lemon, what grid do I need to use? What’s the best way to do it? That honestly saved so much time. I feel for me, who wants to do things like I said by a set plan, just made it so easy to do so.

JL

I’ve been using the periodic table more and more and I really love the change that we had. We just added sexual health, and I feel like for the younger generations where there’s just so much change that’s happened that it’s not just for performance but it’s for reproductive health. I’m really, really excited to have that on there. I’m thrilled to have watermelon in there and beets.

Beets are so good together. I also love that we’ve shifted away from sort of cancer prevention and more focused on full body health.

Much more of a mentality for me, a more positive focus. Full body health is the same idea of getting rid of the things that no longer serve your body. I would’ve never, so jackfruit is in there which should really only be turned into ice cream but I never would’ve juiced asparagus, and let’s be real I’m not going to juice asparagus probably ever again. But I could if I wanted to if I wanted to show people that I could. So yeah, I love that suggestion and I really, really am grateful that David and Dr. Ruhoy put that together. And thanks for bringing that up

NB

Yeah I literally made a special spot in the cabinet with all my stuff now and it’s pinned there so it’s easy anytime I’m creating something new, I just reference it.

JL

Wonderful, this was amazing. I hope everyone here enjoyed this interview. I hope you got some tips. If you have any questions or want to know more about Nicole’s recipes, we’ll make sure and get those posted so that if you want to try them especially with your young ones too, now that we know that they’ve been taste-tested and kid approved! Thank you again, Nicole. I’m so grateful that you’re part of the PURE Juicer community and part of our lives.

NB

Yes, thank you, Jen.

As Nicole has shared, your introduction to the world of PURE Juicer doesn’t have to be intimidating and it doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Enjoy the process of experimenting with new recipes and trying them out with friends and family. From dispelling misconceptions to embracing healthy habits, Nicole’s story showcases the true magic of incorporating juicing into our daily routines. The health improvements she experienced serve as a testament to the life-altering potential of this wellness practice. Specifically, how cold-pressed juice helped to heal her chronic migraines. When Nicole began consistently juicing, she cut out caffeine from her morning routine. Caffeinated beverages act as diuretics, which are substances that cause an increase in urine production. When we don’t compensate for this effect with adequate hydration, it causes us to become dehydrated, making them a prime contributor to headaches. Juices, on the other hand, are composed of hydrating fruits and vegetables, many of which are made of 80% water or more! Hence, this healthy switch to start the day made a tremendous difference in Nicole’s migraines.

Benefits:

• Leafy Greens: high in magnesium, potassium and calcium which have a nerve and muscle relaxing effect thus reducing inflammation and tension headaches
• Celery: Celery has a high water content, which helps keep you hydrated
• Pineapple: has anti-inflammatory effects via compounds such as bromelain, which can help to relieve headaches
• Cucumber: high water content, helpful in preventing or easing headaches caused by dehydration
• Lemons: lemons are acidic in nature, but they have an alkalizing effect on the body when metabolized. Some headaches may be associated with increased acidity, and consuming alkalizing foods like lemons may help balance the body’s pH levels.
• Ginger: ginger has natural pain-relieving properties. Some migraines are triggered by the activation of pain pathways in the brain, and ginger may help alleviate headache pain by blocking these pain signals.

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!

Steps to Make Delicious Shaved Ice at Home (*it’s so easy)!

Step One: Make Perfect Shaved Ice:

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.

We used about 1.5 cups of ice for one serving since the ice shrinks down after grinding. Then we formed the shaved ice with an ice cream scoop (a large cookie scoop works great too). 

Step Three: Add Toppings!

After the juice, we add our favorite fruit toppings. What do you crave? At PURE Juicer, we love adding seasonal fresh fruit. It bursts with flavor and color. But add what you have, what you crave, and what makes you happy! There is no right or wrong with shaved ice.

Step Four: Top with Sweetened Condensed Milk .

Lastly, we topped our shaved ice with some sweetened condensed milk (vegan condensed milk works great). This is optional, but highly recommended! We picked this up from a shaved ice store in Japan and are very into this trend now. Sweetened condensed milk brings all of the flavors together and adds a creamy texture to this treat. We used bee pollen in one recipe. It came from David’s bees (did you know David is a beekeeper?) so we know it was from a trusted source. More about David’s bees in this blog: https://blog.purejuicer.com/2022/05/18/national-bee-day-is-may-20th/

Cold-Pressed Juice + Shaved Ice from the PURE Juicer Test Kitchen:

1. Berries-Sweetened with sweetened condensed milk (vegan or dairy) and bee pollen

2. Orange-Mango-Berry

3. Watermelon-lime-mint

4. Pineapple-Honeydew-Aloe

5. Cucumber-mint (picture not shown)

Health Benefits

• Save on the Sugar: With our shaved ice recipes, you won’t have to worry about artificial flavorings, heapings of added sugar, corn syrup or any other harmful ingredients!
• Antioxidant Rich: Berries are loaded with antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, flavonoids and vitamin C which help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, lowering the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. 
• Immune Support: Thanks to their vitamin C content, oranges and mangos can bolster the immune system, helping the body defend against a summer cold.
• Eye Health: Mangoes are rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, which are beneficial for maintaining healthy eyesight and preventing age-related macular degeneration.
• Promotes Digestion: The fiber content in honeydew aids in digestion and helps prevent constipation. Fiber also promotes a healthy gut by supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
• Hydration: Icey desserts are not only refreshing, but incredibly hydrating! Keep cool this summer and enjoy an extra boost of hydration via our watermelon and cucumber recipes. Watermelon and cucumber are composed of over 90% water, making them the perfect ingredients for any summer treat.
• Potential Weight Management: Made with pure, healthy ingredients our shaved ice is a low calorie treat that you can savor without straying off your health journey.
• Blood Sugar Control: Low-calorie desserts often have a lower glycemic index, meaning they cause a slower and steadier rise in blood sugar levels compared to high-calorie, sugary desserts. This makes our shaved ice recipes a potential alternative for individuals with diabetes or those looking to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

By David Feinberg

PURE Juicer CEO, and Textile Expert

As the founder and CEO of PURE Juicer, I have had to make many decisions. Of course, the juicer was always priority number one, but if I didn’t have cloths and bags that could keep up with these improvements, we would not have what we do today. They needed to withstand the Pressure of the PURE Juicer while meeting the standards of required by the Gerson Institute for Gerson Approval.

In this blog, I will share a bit more about my approach to designing the PURE Juicer, along with answers to questions from our community who are unsure about when to use the cloths or bags when juicing.

THE PURE JUICER

Besides making the best two-stage juicer on the market, my priority has always been to stay within the rigorous guidelines of the Gerson Institute. I wanted to build to the highest standard possible with materials such as genuine stainless steel, and I wanted to make a machine built to last long enough that you could easily pass it on to your kids.

By and large, we got it right. Of course, we have made a few adjustments, but the commitment to quality paid off, and we have only looked at minor changes for optimal performance.

To make the PURE Juicer work optimally and to get the juice yield we are known for (30-50% more than other juicers), we had to design a press cloth and bag that exceeded the existing options on the market.

It needed to withstand the greater hydraulic pressure: our hydraulic press was 30 percent stronger than even the strongest press, and we wanted there to be more juice and less cleanup.

The cloths and bags also had to be approved by the Gerson Institute. Again, this is not easy to do. When people begin Gerson Therapy, they remove anything and everything toxic in their household. Tupperware, cleaning products, specific clothing, etc. It is likely not allowed during the Gerson Therapy treatment time if it is not glass, clean cotton, or stainless steel.

My background is in textiles, so I already had a strong understanding of textile strength, design, porosity, and other key factors for this challenge. And to be honest, this was a true labor of love, one I put my heart and soul in. So let’s dive into the cloths and bags designed for PURE Juicer.

For the first PURE press cloth, I took the engineers’ suggestions and began testing the material, observing the results, and studying the test data to create a baseline. After that, we utilized an iterative process to refine the weave design.

What is the best yarn, synthetic or natural? 

Before going further, here’s why we chose synthetic over natural yarn. The main reasons are lower water retention, higher strength, and greater ease of cleaning. Polypropylene is considered to be the safest of all food-grade synthetics. It is both chemically inert,resistant to most common organic and inorganic chemicals and has superior water, oil, and fat resistant properties.

The underlying question is, does polypropylene add anything to the juice? The main concern with synthetic yarn is that it is synthetic and may not be suitable for our bodies. The two chemicals of greatest concern when food safety is discussed are BPA and Phthalates. Polypropylene is BPA- free. Phthalates are added to containers and other solid PP products. But, these two chemicals are not used in yarn production. Independent laboratory testing of PURE confirmed no contaminants are present in the finished material. Nor are BPA, Phthalates, or heavy metals present in PURE Press cloth.

Why can’t we weave the same cloth but with a different yarn? If switching materials were that simple, we would substitute cotton yarn for polypropylene. But everything is different: the denier (diameter), thread count, tear strength, and the supply chain. To make a cotton/hemp/linen material would mean starting all over, engineering, and developing an entirely new material and supply chain.

To date, we have not found an off-the-shelf cotton/hemp/linen material that meets PURE’s standards for a press cloth. When we add products, we want to stand behind them. Our company philosophy is to add value through good design and engineering.

An often overlooked aspect of press cloth design is water retention/absorption. Polypropylene is a hydrophobic fiber. This means it repels and does not absorb water. This is reflected in the minimal amount of water retained in the fiber, 0.03%. On the other hand, cotton is extremely absorbent and absorbs its weight in water at 2.4x (240%).

PURE has been weaving our press cloth for over ten years. We perform a lab test with every production run to confirm our specifications. Over time, the design has been refined and optimized. The tensile strength has increased 200%; the porosity is 300-400%. This is 3-4x higher than our first cloth and is more porous than any woven press cloth on the market. The beauty of great design is that when you get the basics right, other features follow and be optimized, adding unforeseen benefits like excellent puck release and ease of cleaning. Of course, we still innovate when we determine the need, but knowing we have done the research, completed the design, and implemented the testing to the highest standards gives us confidence that we have done the very best for our community.

PURE Juicer is a design-driven company. We exist to bring the world’s best juicer to you and for you to live your best life-making juice, nut milk, frozen treats – and so much more. We thrive by responding to you, our community. Part of being part of a community is answering questions. I hope I’ve responded to all your questions about press cloth; if not, send them to me at support@purejuicer.com.

We were curious to see what would happen if we pressed watermelon with the rinds on–watermelon rind is known to pack three times as many nutrients as watermelon meat–and found the juice to be especially delicious. While the press was definitely up to the task of pressing rind juice, the extra human effort and muscle it took to fold the rinds before pressing was not especially fun or efficient. From now on, we’ll be grinding rinds before pressing, and recommend you do the same. We plan to grind and juice cantaloupe rinds next! (Need tips on juicing rinds? Check out this video from Discount Juicers’ John Kohler.). Please note, beets and other roots need to be ground and pressed. 

Watermelon-Beet-Lime Juice

Yield: 68 ounces (2 liters)
Prep Time: 7 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

1 small watermelon
2 limes
1 medium to small beet (Use #10 or #8 grid)

Pro-Tip: watermelon rind and beets may have kick-back, so cover the feed chute when grinding (stage one).

Health Benefits

beets: beets are nutrient-rich, containing a little bit of every vitamin and mineral your body requires, such as folate and manganese. They also lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, and improve digestive health.

cantaloupe: good for heart health, hydration, and a healthy immune system, cantaloupe is a must-have on your ingredient list. You’ll find beta-carotene, Vitamin C, folate, fiber, and potassium among the many vitamins and minerals that make this fruit an extra sweet addition to your diet.

cucumber: cucumbers, especially their nutrient-dense skin, offer antioxidants including flavonoids and tannins that help protect you from free radicals. Made up of mostly water, cucumbers can help meet hydration goals and can aid in weight loss and management.

honeydew melon: rich in nutrients, such as those vital to bone health, like folate, Vitamin K, and magnesium, honeydew melon can also help lower blood pressure, control blood sugar, and even improve the health of your skin.

jalapeño: good source of fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin B6

lime: very high in vitamin C, limes also contain small amounts of iron, calcium, vitamin B6, thiamine, and potassium.

watermelon: high in Vitamin C and A, watermelons also contain a natural substance called l-citrulline, found especially in the white part of the rind, which aids in blood circulation and can improve muscle recovery time in athletes. Watermelons are hydrating and highly satiating, and can aid in weight loss and management.

We love testing out recipes in our test kitchen, and Jessica Seinfeld’s vegan carrot cake recipe was no exception. Grinding the apples with a #3 grid to produce homeground apple sauce and grinding the carrots with a #12 grid (because grating carrots is time-consuming and we are not about to buy grated carrots!) produced a texture and consistency that was even more beautiful than the original recipe. However, it was much too sweet for our taste. Our modifications include cutting the white sugar down and using a gluten-free flour combination (gluten-free flour + almond flour). Since we’re not ones to waste an opportunity for cold-pressed juice, we made sure to grind extra apples and carrots, so we could wrap them and press them into carrot-apple juice.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line muffin tin with liners or spray with cooking spray. Next, make one cup of applesauce by grinding 1-2 apples in the #3 grid. (Pro tip: consider adding a bit of cinnamon to any extra applesauce you want to save for later.) Next, grind the carrots using a #12 grid.

Combine the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Fold in apples, carrots, olive oil, vanilla, sugar, and coconut flakes. (Pro tip: combine wet and dry ingredients well, but do not over mix.)

Fill muffin tins to the top, but not overflowing. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

2 large tomatoes
1 small red onion
4 green onions
1/4 avocado
1 large jalapeño
2 limes, pressed
5 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper
¼ bunch of parsley
¼ bunch of cilantro

Pro Tips: Top with chopped mango and tomatoes! If you’re not planning to eat the salsa right away, leave the avocado out of the mix and serve it on the side (to avoid discoloration).

For the original recipe using roasted vegetables (it’s delicious), check out Kimmie Bee and her blog.

Health Benefits:

tomato: good source of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium, vitamin K, and folate.

Health Benefits:

chickpeas: high in fiber, low on the glycemic index, and considered to be a whole protein, these legumes pack a nutritional punch. A good source of polyunsaturated fats and low in cholesterol, a diet including chickpeas can regulate blood sugar levels and mitigate risk of heart disease.

tahini: made from ground sesame seeds, tahini is rich in anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fats and contains a variety of vitamins that can aid in bone health and energy production.

lemon: high in vitamin C and citric acid, lemons aid in iron absorption and could possibly prevent kidney stones. Several plant compounds found in lemons may lower cholesterol.

red pepper: bell peppers are high in antioxidants and vitamin C, as well as other important vitamins and minerals like vitamin B6, vitamin K1, vitamin A, vitamin E, folate, and potassium.

cumin: promotes digestion, prevents food-borne infections, and can help improve cholesterol and control blood sugar levels.

garlic: garlic can boost immunity, improve blood pressure, and even protect raw food from bacteria that causes food poisoning.
