Lumi Juice
About Lumi Juice:
“Our Juice Code
Unique: Lumi Juice created uniquely delicious and nutritious blends of veggie and fruit juices to integrate into your everyday routine and on-the-go lifestyles.
Mega Nutrients: One 16 ounce Lumi Juice contains approximately 2 pounds of vegetables and fruits. That’s your entire day’s serving of fruits and veggies! How easy is that?
Invigorating: Lumi Juice provides a liquid infusion of nutrients that your bodies instantly assimilate, boosting energy and supporting health.
Have you had your fruits and veggies today? We realize it’s tough! But, don’t worry – weLoveUMeanIt, and we want you to love yourself. So, we cold-pressed roughly two pounds of organic fruits and veggies into the juice you’re holding. And we didn’t stop there. To protect the good stuff and maintain that delicious, fresh-squeezed taste, we use high pressure processing instead of heat pasteurization, bringing you more of the flavor, vitamins, and enzymes found in the fruits and veggies we use. Some like it hot. We like it cold – from our kitchen to yours.”
Belmont Beet
About:
“Just like the Charlottesville neighborhood that shares it’s name, this juice will surprise and charm you. Consider it a liquid recovery. Ka-Pow! With nutrients that support the cardiovascular system and fight inflammation, Belmont Beet will have you singing for miles. Belmont Beet provides you with the tasty recharge you need to wake up and dance. No red lights on this highway.”
Farmhouse Greens
About:
“We got introduced to cold-pressed juice at a farmhouse near Charlottesville, and it was there we came up with this green juice recipe that started it all! It is the staple of Lumi and got the entire team hooked on juice. One sip, and you feel like you’re drinking the sun. As the juice infuses your body, you immediately feel energized with the goodness of cucumber, apple, kale celery, lemon and parsley. It is just what you need to kick off your day in a healthy way.”
Miami Mango
About:
“High Pressure Processing (HPP) is the backbone of Lumi. HPP allows us to bring you shelf-stable juices that truly demonstrate that we “Love U, Mean It”. On a trip to Miami, our goal of having our own HPP machine became a reality sooner than we expected. Tony suggested that we create a juice to honor Miami where seemingly impossible dreams became reality. Miami Mango provides all the immune support you need to stay healthy and active! Anything is possible.”
Mountain Mint
About:
“During Virginia summers, mint plants speckle the countryside. They inspired us to create a juice that coupled the refreshing smell of mint with spinach, orange, cucumber and lime. Mountain Mint is an antioxidant, nutrition-packed juice that instantly replenishes your body causing you to stop for a moment, taste the mint and smile.”
Piedmont Pineapple
About:
“Yes, the name is deceiving. How can Piedmont (a region of Virginia) be associated with Pineapple? While Pineapple may be the main ingredient, this juice is balanced out with cucumber, apples, and most importantly, collard greens! These all grow in the heart of the Virginia Piedmont. With the tropical taste of pineapple and a hint of collard greens, Piedmont Pineapple unleashes the inner child within us, making even the most stubborn eaters reach for more.”
Wahoo Orange
About:
“Wahoo-Wa – UVA is where it all started for Lumi Juice, and what better way to honor the place that brought the team together then with a juice that highlights one of Virginia’s colors. Wahoo Orange is the perfect remix for your morning routine. In fact, it may even seem unrecognizable it tastes so delicious and pure. Add it to the breakfast table for a kick of Vitamin C and smiles!”
My Thoughts:
There are only a handful of bottled juices that I would buy for myself and my family. Lumi is one of those brands. Though showcasing extraordinary ingredients in organic, raw form, they’ve gained my trust as a brand that I can look to for a hearty, convenient boost of nutrition.
As you can see from their labeling, Lumi is certified organic, cold pressed–and to put it frankly & simply: they are just here to provide you with really good juice. No crazy ingredients, just transparent, honest to goodness juices that taste real because they are. I also want to point out that Lumi does a wonderful job of creating juices that are nutrient dense, but not loaded with sugar. Many juice brands use solely or mainly fruit, which certainly has a place in the diet, but should be consumed in moderation, just like anything else. Vegetables often have a higher nutrient content with less sugar–making them a better choice, more often. In other words, you can consume a hearty amount of nutrients through Lumi juices without the massive sugar rush.
The vibrant packaging is beautiful, (that factors into my opinion of a product so little, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I’m a color girl!) I love the smaller bottled juices they offer (like the Wahoo Orange, Piedmont Pineapple and Mountain Mint that I got to try)–I see those as a perfect morning boost or mid-commute energy boost.
My thoughts on Lumi are short and sweet because all I want you to know if that I love these juices! This brand is focused on the right qualities in my opinion: organic, raw and not loaded with sugar. I can buy these locally at The Fresh Market, but you can also buy them online through Lumi! I urge you to give them a try. Consuming fresh juice will allow you to appreciate the intricate flavors of nature, by themselves. It’s a beautiful thing!
