Fresh juice to add sunshine to your day ☀

Add sunshine to your day with a glass of freshly juiced fruits and vegetables! One of our favorite recipes for feeling great in the New Year is a root-tastic juice blend of carrots and ginger.  Add in other superfoods that we carry in store such as blueberries or a scoop of powdered functional mushrooms (including fruiting-body extracts of reishi, lions mane, cordyceps, chaga, maitake, shiitake, tremella, & turkey tail!)

We have 3-pound bags of freshly harvested, frozen organic blueberries from Indiana, 2-pint bottles of organic, cold pressed fresh blueberry juice from Michigan, both fresh & powdered mixes of organic, functional fungi with adaptogenic properties, and 3-pound (or more) bundles of carrots from Indiana at just $1.99 / pound to add to your favorite concoctions. Come stock up on ingredients that are delicious and also help to cleanse and boost your immune system in these winter months!
