Frequently Asked Questions
We’re so happy you want to learn more about Little West cold pressed juice! If you need assistance with your order or have a question you don’t see answered here, please contact us.
When properly refrigerated, our juices remain fresh, nutritious, and delicious until the “Enjoy By” date indicated on the bottle. This “Enjoy By” date is usually several weeks after your initial purchase. Once open, we recommend consuming your juice within 3 days. (Note: Juice must be refrigerated.)
We can ship online orders to any home address in the continental United States. Unfortunately, we cannot ship to P.O. Boxes at this time.
To order juices in Canada, please visit our Canadian website.
All orders are delivered via UPS next day shipping.
Orders placed on Sunday - Wednesday will be delivered the same week. Orders placed on Wednesdays after 4:30pm PT through Saturday will ship out the following week.
Please note: Our warehouse is closed on weekends and holidays.
Once your order has shipped, you will receive a notification with a tracking number. For any questions or issues with your order, please contact us.
Little West juices are carefully packaged with an airtight, insulated liner and 2-3 cold packs. This keeps your order fresh during transit.
This depends on the location where our delivery partner leaves your order. For example, a box left in an apartment hallway or mailroom will remain cooler than a box left outdoors in the sun. We recommend refrigerating your juices ASAP after they arrive.
Please do not be concerned if the ice packs have melted. Condensation or "sweating" on bottles is perfectly normal and your juices are still good to drink!
If you won’t be home, we recommend asking another household member or a neighbor to receive your juices for you and refrigerate them as soon as possible. Please use your delivery tracking number to plan accordingly.
Little West cannot offer refunds for juices that arrived but were not picked up and refrigerated upon arrival. If you have any issues with your order, please contact us.
We recommend drinking the juices in our Classic Cleanse Kit in the following order, starting with Celery Juice in the morning and ending with Detox Greens:
-
Day One: Celery Juice, The Clover, Sunrise, Go Big, Gingersnap, The Quench, Detox Greens
-
Day Two: Celery Juice, The Clover, Sunrise, Go Big, Gingersnap, The Quench, Detox Greens
-
Day Three (optional): Celery Juice, The Clover, Sunrise, Go Big, Gingersnap, The Quench, Detox Greens
If you accidentally mix things up, that's okay! However, for best results, we always recommend starting and ending your day with one of our green juices.
After your first juice of the day, we recommend having your remaining juices 1-3 hours apart depending on your personal preferences. Remember to drink plenty of water, too!

Little West's Deep Detox Cleanse kit has more dark leafy greens than our traditional Classic Cleanse. Deep Detox is designed for anyone looking to take their detoxing and nutrition to a deeper level. The cold pressed juices in this cleanse also have less natural sugar, with more “vegetable forward” flavors and less fruit. Learn more.
Choosing between a 2 day cleanse or a 3 day cleanse depends on your lifestyle, schedule, and preferences. A 2 day cleanse is a convenient option for weekends and a great way to “flush” your digestive system with nutritious, hydrating juices.
Adding a third day to your cleanse helps you experience these same benefits more deeply. By day 3, most people find that their bodies have adjusted to juice fasting, they no longer feel brain fog or caffeine withdrawal, and they have heightened energy and mental clarity. You may feel lighter and more refreshed after 3 days compared to a 2 day cleanse.
Although Little West is not certified organic, we consider ourselves “better than organic” because we’re dedicated to using local West Coast fruits and vegetables.
The produce that goes into our juice is sourced from local family farms, including many of the same vendors at our neighborhood Farmers Market. We can personally see where (and how) everything is grown, inspect each ingredient by hand, and guarantee the highest quality.
Many brands that are certified organic use old produce that's been shipped from industrial farms in other states or even overseas. These ingredients often sit in crates for days or weeks during transit, losing vital nutrients and flavor.
By buying local, we receive our ingredients as soon as they leave the farm. We cold press and bottle our juice within 48 hours of harvest. This makes Little West healthier, fresher, and better tasting.
Cold pressing is a method that extracts juice from 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 (Little West uses High Pressure Processinginstead).
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!
Yes! We are currently sold in Whole Foods in southern California, Nevada, and Arizona, as well as many local grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and hotels.

Yes! We use a method called High Pressure Processing (HPP), which uses pressure to destroy any harmful bacteria or food-borne pathogens that may be present. HPP makes our juices safe for everyone, including people with compromised immune systems and pregnant women. It also prolongs the lifespan of our juices so they stay fresh and delicious for much longer.
Little West juices are not meal replacements. We recommend drinking our juice as part of a healthy diet that’s high in fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and lean protein. However, many people enjoy doing short juice cleanses every now and then to “reset” their body. Try our Two Day Juice Cleanse Kit!
Yes. Our juice does not contain any chemical preservatives, so you need to keep it in your refrigerator. When ordering juices online, please refrigerate them as soon as possible after your order arrives.
Yes! Our bottles are 100% RPET plastic, which means they’re made from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic and are also fully recyclable.
Our shipping box and insulated liner are 100% recyclable.
To dispose of cold packs, first let them defrost completely. Next, cut one corner and pour the liquid gel into the trash can (not your sink or toilet, as liquid gel may clog drains). Then discard the empty pack.
Please keep in mind that cold packs can be reused multiple times. Simply refreeze and use them in your own coolers or insulated grocery bags! Many homeless shelters, community outreach centers, and food banks also accept donations of cold packs.
