Revitalization: Embracing Health through Hydration in the Fresh Start of the Year
In the bustling city of Alexandria, cold-pressed juice has become a popular health trend. One local company leading the charge is South Block, a micro-juicery based in Falls Church.
South Block's unique offerings include the Activate juice, designed to help with hangovers, and the Renew juice, part of the Cleanse juices range. These refreshing concoctions are made with a blend of fruits and vegetables, such as apple, aloe, lemon, kale, beet, ginger, and carrot. Another popular Cleanse juice is the Caveman Mylk, a creamy concoction made from cashews, water, vanilla, cinnamon, dates, pink Himalayan sea salt, and more.
The Cure juice, another offering from South Block, is a zesty blend of pineapple, carrot, lemon, cayenne, turmeric, ginger, and activated charcoal. This potent combination is said to aid in detoxification and recovery.
Ease Yoga & Cafe in Del Ray and Junction Bakery & Bistro on Mt. Vernon Ave., both offer South Block's cold-pressed juices. The most-ordered juices at Ease Yoga are the Cleanse and Cure juices.
For those seeking a more fiber-rich option, consuming whole fruit or vegetables is recommended. Diets higher in fiber are beneficial for protecting against various cancers and chronic illnesses. However, cold-pressed juice is designed to stay fresh and vibrant longer than traditionally juiced juice, making it a convenient choice for those on-the-go.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine recommends consuming at least three servings of fruit and four servings of vegetables daily. One-half cup (4 ounces) of juice can be considered the equivalent of a single serving of fruits or vegetables.
While MOM's Organic Market offers the same juices available at the company's Naked Lunch cafe in Arlington, the search results did not provide information about which local company in Alexandria produces cold-pressed juices.
South Block delivers their fresh-squeezed juices six days a week, and the half-pint Cleanse juices usually run about $5, with pints priced at $9.
Whether you're looking to detox, boost your immune system, or simply enjoy a refreshing drink, cold-pressed juices are a popular and convenient choice in Alexandria.
