A cleansed body and mind, a detoxification from Los Angeles' fumes, and a flatter stomach, these are only a few of the benefits of jumping on the bandwagon for LA's latest fad: the juice cleanse. The benefits to juicing are endless. Whether you opt for buying one juice for a snack, or trying out a juice cleanse, being healthy is a trend that will never go out of fashion. There is no better way to cleanse your body in a healthy manner than eliminating all the daily toxins while receiving maximum nutrients through fruits and veggies and enjoying non-processed foods. Visiting juice bars has quickly become on of the trendiest things to do in Los Angeles.

The Juice Health Craze In LA
Pressed Juicery(01 of05)

The slogan at Pressed Juicery is "get back to your roots," and it aims to do just that for its customers by helping them get back to a natural state of mind and body. Unpasteurized and raw fruits and veggies provide the customer with a healthy and sustainable diet. The living enzymes in their juices provide ample health benefits. There is anywhere from two to five pounds of produce in each bottle, making one bottle easily a meal replacement. The shelf life of the juices is about 3 days, and the bottles run from $6.50-$8.00, with the exception of the aloe vera water and chlorophyl water. Pressed has several locations in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and are quickly expanding. The almond milk, which consists of almonds, dates, vanilla bean, sea salt, and filtered water, is a best seller. The juices are fresh pressed every morning at their West LA location, then delivered to the various locations throughout LA. Gluten and dairy free options are often staples at juice bars, offering the health-crazed individual a simple solution to a sweet craving. (credit:Party Earth)
