Evolution Fresh Review – Right For You?

There are many cold-pressed juice companies, which means that you either need to try every kind of brand to figure out what you like or you can simply read a review and determine which company’s ingredients, product lines, and flavors suit you best. This particular review is going to cover a company that you may already be familiar with – not because you’ve tried it, but because it’s featured in numerous Starbucks locations.

Evolution Fresh is a cold-pressed juicing company that does claim that it’s juices are different than others. Here is a review of the brand and whether it really stands out from its counterparts.

About Evolution Fresh

Evolution Fresh is a fresh cold-pressed juicing company that aims to provide its customers with accessible, delicious, and nourishing fresh juices and smoothies that are a combination of unique blends of fruits and vegetables. Once the juices are created, they go through a High Pressure Processing system (HPP) where the juices are subjected to extremely cold water and a high pressure system to eliminate any pathogens and harmful bacteria. This type of system enables the company to provide you with safe, nourishing, and healthy products without the risk.

If you do decide to try Evolution Fresh products, you should note that they are meant to be consumed right away. Storing them will diminish their flavors and their nutritional value. As the company recommends, you can only refrigerate them for 30 to 45 days.

Evolution Fresh mentions that it stands apart from its counterparts because it peels, presses, and squeezes the raw fruits and vegetables in its drinks and subjects the drinks to a HPP system. To be completely honest, many cold-pressed juicing companies do this. Therefore, Evolution Fresh is not really as unique as it seems.

While Evolution Fresh cannot be touted as unique because of the way it bottles its products, what is unique about it is the product lines that it offers and the fruit and vegetable combinations with high nutritional value.

The Source of the Product

Evolution Fresh does not make its products from organic fruits and vegetables. Rather, the company utilizes farms in Southern California, where it harvests leafy greens, root vegetables, and citrus. The company tries to adhere to seasonal growing patterns when creating its drinks. The company sources 93% of its overall products from the Western United States, the majority are also grown within 400 miles of the juicing plant, and when the company uses coconut water – it comes from the Philippines.

Ginger is from Peru, mangos and pineapples are from Mexico, and the company gets its turmeric from Hawaii. All products are non-GMO project verified – except for the Protein Power Smoothie.
