F.A.Q.
We're here to help answer any questions!
How long is Soulshine Juice good for in the fridge?
Soulshine Cold Pressed Juice must be stored in the refrigerator as its raw juice with no artificial preservatives. Juices are safe to drink within 7 days, but we recommend consuming within 3-4 days for the best taste experience.
Where can I buy Soulshine Juice?
You can place orders online and pick up your juice by visiting us at one of the local Farmers Markets we participate in on Saturdays.
You don't have to pre-order juice as we will have some juice on hand at the Market, but pre-ordering guarantees we will have juice reserved just for you!
Check out our current Farmers Market Schedule here.
Please note, we will also soon be offering other local pick-up spots (more to come!)
Are Soulshine Juices made with organic produce?
We always strive to use organic produce in our juices. Sometimes, due to availability, we need to choose produce that is not organic but grown naturally and sustainably. We also partner with local West Michigan farmers who supply us with in season and fresh produce.
What's the difference between Cold Pressed Juice and regular juice?
Cold pressing is a method that extracts juice from fresh fruits and vegetables using a hydraulic press. As the name implies, there’s no heat involved at any point during the juicing process. Cold pressed juices are also unpasteurized and contain absolutely nothing artificial such as preservatives or added sugars...just gool ole' raw fruits and veggies.
Regular juicing usually involves a centrifugal juicer or other processes that generate heat. These juices are then pasteurized, which heats the juice to around 85 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
Heat dramatically lowers the overall quality of juices. It destroys the fresh, vibrant flavor of the ingredients and degrades the nutritional value. Many regular juices are then pumped full of added sugars or sweeteners, artificial flavors, or other chemicals to compensate. Some regular juices are just as unhealthy as soda.
Cold pressed juices have significantly more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, digestive enzymes, and other nutrients compared to juices made using heat. In fact, cold pressed juices offer many of the same health benefits as eating raw fruits and vegetables. They also taste better!
Why Glass Bottles?
Not only do we love the look of glass bottles, but we are PASSIONATE about using them for their sustainability and numerous other benefits.
We offer a deposit return on each of our glass bottles to help keep them circulating.
Here's some of the main reasons we love using glass bottles:
Glass is nonporous and impermeable
Because of this, it does not absorb flavors or smells. There are no interactions with glass packaging and the final product. This makes it perfect for sensitive products.
Has an almost zero rate of chemical interactions
This helps to ensure that the final product inside the glass container keeps its efficacy, taste, aroma, and flavor longer.
Made from natural materials
Glass is manufactured using superheated sand, soda ash, and limestone taken from the earth.
FDA has designated it as fully safe
With no ability to leach chemicals when exposed to hot or cold temperatures, glass is 100% FDA approved for a variety of applications.
Glass is 100% recyclable
Glass is easier to recycle than plastic. Almost every piece of glass you encounter has a portion of recycled material in it, making it an environmentally friendly option.
Can be recycled infinitely
Glass can always be crushed down and reused in new glass products. Most glass manufacturing companies have a minimum of recyclable material to help make a positive environmental impact and keep costs down.
Do you give me money when I return a glass Soulshine Juice bottle? Where do I return them?
YES WE DO! To help promote the recycling and reuse of our glass bottles, we will give you $2 when you return a bottle to us. You can return bottles to us at the Farmers Markets every Saturday.
