SUPER NUTRIENT-DENSE JUICES MEET GROWING DEMAND The husband and wife team at Harvest Soul noticed something a few years ago: the pressed juice category was exploding, and it seemed to them that consumers were relying on these juices as their major nutrition source. But there was a problem with that – most of the juices were very low in fiber (because it's "juiced" away) and high in sugar. They probably weren't as nutritious as consumers thought they were. Kevin and Rani Quirk decided to create a better and healthier juice, with natural fiber, made from whole fruits and veggies – truly farm to bottle. Enter Harvest Soul Organic Juices. They're blended, not pressed, made from whole fruits and veggies, some with added nuts, seeds and berries; never from concentrate and no sweet- eners or flavors added. It seems that consumers can't get away from products that are high in sugar throughout the supermarket. Consumers are looking for less processed foods, and are seeking out real products with clean labels, less sugar and more fiber and protein. To meet this growing need, Harvest Soul started mak- ing some delicious concoctions, and after much recipe development, created a super nutrient-dense blended juice: Harvest Soul Organic Chewable Juice. Launched in 2015, it shook up the cate- gory and even earned a coveted NEXTY nomina- tion for being new and innovative. With bits of protein-rich nuts, seeds and berries, Harvest Soul Chewable Juice is not only satisfying and satiat- ing, it also promotes chewing, the most important stage of digestion. Super high in fiber and a good source of protein, it's like a mini meal, packed with whole food nutrition with superfoods like chia, hemp, flax, spinach, kale and blueber- ries. They come in four flavors: Green Fusion, Tropical Fusion, Berry Banana Fusion and Veggie Beet Fusion. Harvest Soul also offers its blended juices without nuts, seeds and berries, and also has a probiotic line, enhanced with GanedenBC30 ® , a proven probiotic that supports immune and digestive health. All Harvest Soul juices are USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified. They're high pres- sure processed to ensure true farm-to-bottle fresh- ness, locking in nutrients. They come in 12-ounce BPA free bottles and have a 75-day shelf life. Both Kevin and Rani have years of experience in the beverage and CPG world, and when they both had that vaha" moment, they decided to take a risk and build "the next generation juice." Available in Sprouts Farmers Markets and many independents throughout the country, Harvest Soul is also sold on Amazon. For more information, go to www .harvestsoul.com.
