E very day, Method cold presses and bottles their own juices using a $30,000 state-of-the-art cold presser. The presser allows them to remove most of the oxygen and preserve the nutrients. These cold pressed juices are the perfect snack to give you a boost of energy, hydrate after a workout, use all day as a “cleanse”, or sneak more fruit and vegetables into your diet. During the winter months, I love to get my juices heated up. The “Revival” juice is amazing, and it is even better hot, along with seasonal favorites “Pear Cider” and “Drive.” Another pro tip for the cold winter months — ask the staff to pour one of their “Vitality Shots” into hot water and it’s the perfect healthy tea! There are a couple different options if you choose to try a juice cleanse. Their “Cleanse Kit 1” is better for beginners because it has some fruit juices while “Cleanse Kit 2” has more green juices. I prefer to build my own cleanse kit and choose from whatever is in their fridge when I stop in. Each cleanse kit consists of six bottles of juice pressed fresh right here in Spokane! The idea behind a juice cleanse is that you are fasting for 24 hours while still getting the vitamins and minerals your body needs. I try to cleanse a couple times a year and I always wake up feeling so refreshed and more aware of my body. After cleansing, I find that I don’t crave sweets as much and it helps me make healthier choices. 58 ART CHOWDER MAGAZINE Photo Credit: www.methodjuicecafe.com
