FAQ

What Makes Cocobeet Different?

Our goal at Cocobeet is to make truly healthy, high quality, and nutrient-dense juices, smoothies, and pure foods accessible to the Boston community.

High quality: Our products are unprocessed, organic, local, GMO-free, and made on-site
Nutrient-dense: Our ingredients are 100% plant-based, packed with only the good stuff. And thanks to our industry-leading, first-of-its-kind juicer, our cold-pressed juices and juice cleanses offer 5X the nutrition than made-to-order competitors.
Accessible and delicious: You can live a busy life and still be healthy, just grab-and-go: 25+ juices and smoothies, multiple juice cleanse options to cater to your individual needs, and the largest vegan grab-and-go menu in Boston.
No HPP!: Our juices are raw. We do not use any industry tricks to extend the shelf life of our juices. Truly fresh juice expires in days. Juices that have undergone high-pressure pasteurization (HPP) in a factory can be over one month old.

We bring health food out from the fringes and into your daily life.

What is Organic?

Organic foods are grown without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and farmed using methods that emphasize sustainability.

Is Your Produce All Organic?

At Cocobeet, we are committed to using organic produce in our cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and vegan fare. We believe that eating organic is healthier, safer, and better for the environment. We make every effort to source 100% organic produce in our product. When it is impossible to source organically, we try to fill the gap with local produce that is farmed using sources we trust.

Are Your Products Vegan? Gluten-Free?

Vegan diets exclude all animal products, including meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. All of our juices, smoothies, and pure food products are 100% vegan and thus dairy-free. With the exception of sandwiches on vegan sprouted grain Ezekiel bread, our products are entirely gluten-free.

Can You Guarantee The Removal Of Allergens For Customers With Allergies?

No. Our stores are full of allergens (nuts, seeds, spices, fruits, vegetables, etc..). There is always risk of cross-contamination and human error. Should you have allergic reactions to ingredients served at Cocobeet, it is best to consider alternatives for eating if you are not comfortable with the high risk of cross-contamination, direct contamination, or human error.

Do You Use Local Ingredients?

As a small, local business ourselves, we love and actively support local. We use Boston and New England product whenever possible. As our business becomes more established, we continue to develop direct relationships with area sources. If you’re a local farmer — reach out to us! We’d love to work with you.

What Does Cold-Pressed Mean?

Cold-pressing is the process we use to create the most nutrient-dense, fresh, and delicious juices possible.

Most made-to-order and homemade juices are created using centrifugal machines — a process that extracts far fewer nutrients, and can neutralize or destroy nutrients and live enzymes. High pressure processing (HPP) techniques, used to increase shelf-life for many store-bought juices, degrades the quality of the product. Juices are HPP’d in industrial plants — not the kind of plants we like or use. HPP juices are NOT fresh, lasting up to 45 days, and they do not warrant a premium price tag.

At Cocobeet, our juices are made fresh, in-house, using a technique that preserves all of the goodness that the juices have to offer.

In our cold-pressed juicing process, organic fruits and vegetables are first crushed into a slurry, then the hydraulic press squeezes out every drop of goodness. This gentle extraction process preserves enzymes and nutrients and results in the freshest tasting juice possible. Fresh, cold-pressed juice can be bottled for up to 4 days.

At Cocobeet, we use the #1 juicer in the world. It is a first-of-its-kind, NSF-certified piece of machinery. Cocobeet juices contain 5x the nutrients of all made-to-order juices; our juicer extracts 2x more nutrients than any other cold-press machine. Cocobeet received the first NSF-certified cold-pressed juicer when it arrived on our doorstep in January.

Why Are Your Juices So Expensive?

Our prices may seem, at first glance, higher than what you might expect; however, there is no comparison in the product you receive.

Our pricing reflects our use of local, unprocessed, and organic ingredients. We use no tricks to extend our shelf life. We do not have high profit margins. We simply do not compromise on the quality of our ingredients. And we believe good health and fueling your body right is worth it.

What Is The Difference Between A Juice And A Smoothie?

Our juices are created from cold-pressing organic fruits and vegetables. Our smoothies contain whole organic fruits and vegetables that are blended with other nutrient-dense items like nuts, seeds, and heart-healthy oils to create a power-packed, more filling product. Juice has all the nutrients and is quickly absorbed to fuel your body with little energy required. Smoothies are fiber-rich and serve as energy-packed snacks and/or meal replacements.

Do Your Products Contain Sugar?

We do not use refined sugar in any of our products. Some of our products are lightly sweetened using very small amounts of maple syrup and agave. We minimize sweeteners to keep the glycemic index (GI) on all of our products as low as possible.

What’s The Shelf Life Of Your Juices, Smoothies, And Pure Foods?

Generally 3-4 days for our juices and 2-3 days for our smoothies. Our products are fresh and unprocessed, using no preservatives or pasteurization methods. Raw is best for your body; juices that expire in days — not weeks — are the ones you want.
