What is cold pressed juice, anyway? The answer is in the name: it’s any type of juice that’s made without heat!
Although there are different techniques for making it, most cold pressed juices are produced using a hydraulic press that slowly extracts the juice from fresh fruits and vegetables using pressure instead of centrifugal blades. This technique allows the juice to retain more healthy nutrients and brighter, sweeter flavors.
Cold pressed juice is usually served raw, such as directly from a juice bar, or made available in commercial bottles that have been rendered safe using High Pressure Processing (HPP) instead of heat pasteurization. Learn more:
Many people struggle to get enough servings of fruits and vegetables every day. When you choose cold pressed juices like Little West, which are packed with 2-4 pounds’ worth of farm fresh produce in every bottle, you’ll help nourish your body with extra vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients to help you thrive.
Drinking cold pressed juice on its own won’t replace a balanced diet or regular exercise, but adding a juice to your daily routine (or periodically doing a short cleanse) may help provide the health benefits associated with a healthier, plant-based diet.
There’s never a bad time to drink cold pressed juice. Some people enjoy starting their morning with a glass of juice, while others prefer drinking it as an afternoon pick-me-up. Cold pressed juice also makes a healthy substitute any time you’re tempted to reach for sodas, energy drinks, or sugary sports drinks. Learn more:
Consuming extra servings of fruits and veggies via cold pressed juice can help you glow from the inside out. Pure cold pressed juices like Little West are packed with antioxidants and other plant-based nutrients that may help reduce the appearance of aging, minimize sun damage, and more.
Cold pressed juice isn’t a “quick fix” for weight loss, or a substitute for regular exercise and a healthy diet, but juicing can help support your goals. Many people enjoy drinking cold pressed juice for weight loss to reset their digestive system, kick off a new diet plan, or replace sugary beverages filled with empty calories. Learn more:
Health is wealth. If you’re focused on naturally boosting your immune system or reducing chronic inflammation, which is linked to a variety of ailments, drinking cold pressed juice can help. Try vegetable and fruit juice blends made with anti-inflammatory ingredients like ginger, turmeric, kale, spinach, and more.

Yes! Cold pressed juice is packed with fresh fruits and vegetables. Additionally, the cold extraction process allows the juice to retain more nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and digestive enzymes. However, not all juice brands offer the same quality. It’s important to choose cold pressed juice like Little West, which is 100% pure juice that’s free from additives, preservatives, and other artificial ingredients.
All cold pressed juices are healthy as long as you are choosing a brand that uses high-quality, natural ingredients and does not add any sugars, sweeteners, concentrates, preservatives, or other artificial ingredients. Little West is 100% pure juice made from fresh fruits and vegetables, cold pressed within 48 hours of harvest using produce that’s locally sourced from small farms.
Little West cold pressed juice does not have added sugars, sugar alcohols, or artificial sweeteners of any kind. However, our cold pressed juices do contain the natural sugar that’s present in fruit as well as sweet vegetables like beets and carrots.
Yes! We recommend drinking at least one cold pressed juice every day to help get an extra serving of fruits and veggies, stay hydrated, and promote better health. Our founders usually start their day with a green juice, such as The Clover or Detox Greens, but other members of our team enjoy different juices as an afternoon pick-me-up or an evening treat. Drinking cold pressed juice is a healthier alternative to sodas, energy drinks, and other artificially sweetened beverages.
Yes! Cold pressed juice needs to be refrigerated because it does not contain any preservatives, sugars, or artificial ingredients. When you order Little West online, we ship your juices in an insulated box with multiple ice packs to keep the juices cold during transit. (Please note: Depending on the weather in your region, it is normal for the ice packs to melt and juices may not be cold to the touch upon arrival. However, they are still safe to consume if refrigerated right away.)
We do not recommend freezing cold pressed juice. Although Little West is great to use in healthy popsicles and slushie recipes, the process of defrosting can negatively impact the taste and texture of the juice if you are planning to drink it normally. Freezing juice directly in the bottle may also cause the bottle to crack and leak.
