SHIPPING POLICY
We are not quite Jeff Bezos over here, but we do try and ship stuff fast. Cause who wants a warm juice, or melted smoothie? We stand by our product arriving fast so you can get on with your life and back to stuff that matters.
Order Mondays before 11PM EST and get your box on your doorstep Thursday! It’s just that easy. Any order received after 11PM EST Mondays will arrive the following Thursday.
We ship everything with one-day shipping through UPS. Your goodies will arrive on dry ice; it’s important someone is there to receive your package so everything can immediately be transferred to a freezer. (Note: if there is any dry ice left on arrival, just leave it in the box and it will go away)
We currently ship to the entire United States!
Right now, we are not set up to ship to Canada. But we love our northern neighbors and you bet we’re planning this for the future. Stay tuned!
Eager… we love it! Like we said above, we ship everything using UPS, and it takes one day, door to door. Make sure you are not on vacay and can put that box in the freezer. No one likes a soggy box of mush. The super good news is that everything we ship comes with a tracking number, which we’ll email to you.
Please send an email to customer service right away with a photo of the damaged shipment! After review, a refund or replacement may be issued.
Given the highly perishable nature of our juices, all sales are considered final once the items have shipped. Orders can be canceled anytime before the items are released for shipment. Also:
- We are unable to issue refunds if the UPS courier does not deliver on time. This includes if UPS is unable to access your home or building.
- We are unable to issue refunds for discarded, stolen or warm packages due to a lack of timely refrigeration once delivered. Events like these are out of our control and our shipments are not insured. Once the order has been shipped, we send an email notification. From there, it is up to you to ensure your products are immediately moved to a freezer once delivered.
- If your order arrives but is incorrect, please notify us immediately so we can act quickly to appropriately remedy the situation. If we made a mistake with your order, we might not be able to ship missing items; we will most likely issue a partial or full refund. Please check that you have received the correct products and refrigerate them upon arrival.

ABOUT JUICES
It means juice with superpowers. We use a hydraulic press to extract juice from fruits, vegetables and other plant-based foods (nuts and seeds) to ensure the vitamin, minerals, enzymes and phytonutrients remain intact. Hydraulic juicers use a tremendous amount of pressure to gently and slowly extract the liquid from produce maintaining the integrity of its cellular structure. This method creates little to no heat, resulting in a healthier, tastier, nutrition-rich juice bursting with bright colors – you know, superpower juice.
We use top-quality produce to craft our juices – up to six pounds of produce in each one. Basically, we’re giving you 16-24 servings of produce in each THORN + ROOTS. The stuff you see in the grocery store has been mass-produced and heat-pasteurized, with chemicals added in to give it a long shelf life while maintaining its color and flavor. If that isn’t enough, that same chemical-laden grocery store juice takes quite a journey to get to you: from manufacturer to truck to warehouse where it sits for a while before the final leg of its journey where it goes on another truck headed to the grocery store shelves where it can often sit for several months. Our cold-pressed juice is locally made with the highest quality ingredients to give you a fresh, nutrient-rich, delicious experience. Bonus – our juice will not only have your taste buds jumping for joy, it’ll give you the extra boost you need to accomplish that to-do list buried on your desk. What we’re trying to say here is that we think you’ll find our prices very reasonable. You get what you pay for – at THORN + ROOTS, that includes fresh, high-quality, nutrient-rich yumminess. Now time to order that healthy lunch.
Because when we say we’re serving the highest quality product, we mean it. At THORN + ROOTS, we want our customers to get all of the nutrients available – and to do that, we serve cold pressed juice. To optimize the nutritional benefits, our juice is cold pressed daily to maintain all the vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytonutrients. Our produce is thoroughly washed before it is juiced. Like any produce, fresh raw juice may contain harmful bacteria and may cause illness in children, the elderly, pregnant or lactating women and those with a compromised immune system.
Cold-pressed juice offers high quality, plant-based nutrition. What? No way. Yes way. Our juice contains more vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants and enzymes than juice made from traditional centrifugal juicers or juice found at your grocery store. Our cold pressed juice is raw and unpasteurized. Because it isn’t heated, cold-pressed juice has a longer refrigerated shelf life than centrifuged juice. Centrifuge juice creates heat – proteins within the juices start to break down and the juice must be consumed within 30 minutes to get the nutritional benefits. So, forget about taking a sip and folding the laundry or starting dinner.
Most of our juices are nut-free; however, they are manufactured in the same kitchen we manufacture our nut milk and other nut products. Before you place your order, please let us know if you have a nut allergy.

JUICE CLEANSING
Taking a day or more to clear your body and mind by fueling up with nothing but cold-pressed juices and plant-based fruit- and veggie-only smoothies – that’s a juice cleanse. It’s designed to give your body a break from the everyday stresses of a busy life, like when you’re overworked, eating poorly, have chronic fatigue, aches and pains, brain fogginess, moodiness and just an overall feeling of blah.
Take Judy. Judy needed a juice cleanse to give herself a break from the oh so many trigger foods and substances running her life—sugar, processed foods, flour, grains, meat, dairy, alcohol, nicotine. Bad Judy. She didn’t realize just how much this junk was contributing to her less than peak feeling. However, eliminating these for a few days gave her body the rest and the boost it needed to recharge; since her cleanse, she’s thinking of becoming a professional bungee jumper.
Cleansing has many physical, mental and emotional benefits. Everyone – no matter how healthy they may be – absorbs toxins from the environment. Toxins are everywhere – from air born pollutants to cleaning products, skin creams, food additives and more, we’re all exposed to them. Cleansing gives you the boost you need to help your body say “see ya” to these toxins. A juice cleanse also gives your digestive system a holiday. This allows your body the energy to restore your cells.
If you are unsure about your health and doing a cleanse, we suggest asking your doctor. As a precautionary statement, avoid cleansing if you are: pregnant, nursing, trying to conceive, pre-diabetic or diabetic, using prescription drugs, have certain active cancers, liver disease, hepatitis, bipolar disorder, or you have allergies to any of the cleanse ingredients. It is advised children under 18 should also avoid doing a cleanse.
Before the big day, get some of the crap out of your system. Double your water intake, eat a plant-based diet (just for a couple of days – you can celebrate with a juicy prime rib next week) and load up on raw fruits and veggies, clean soups and veggie-only salads without the creamy dressing. If this is too much to ask and you’re saving all of your will-power for the actual juice cleanse, then simply hydrate more and get rid of processed foods for a few days before you begin the cleanse. And stay tuned… this is the just the beginning of how you’re going to reroot your life.
Day one. We feel like it’s the big game and we should be giving you the pep talk that will bring your team to the championship… get back to us in a couple days on that one. Hmmm. How do we put this gently? Once you begin your cleanse, your body is going to be like “WTF are you doing to me? Give me those cheese puffs!” That’s cool – just tell yourself those cheese puffs will be your reward for a cleanse well done. And that’s a lie because we’re betting you won’t want those cheese puffs in a few days. Judy totally threw hers out.
It’s actually not that bad – we just like to be dramatic. The truth is, on the first day of your juice cleanse, your body will start to go into detox mode. Actually, if you did the prep phase, it’s probably already in full-on detox mode. Eeeeek! On your way to cleanse stardom!
Now that you’re actually in the “juice cleanse mode,” each juice you consume is like a personal cheerleader for your body. Not only will it help you get rid of the bloat, fatigue, fogginess, toxic chemicals and sludge – yes sludge – that your body was hoarding, but now your body is revving up its internal and external system with raw, living, wholesome goodness that it’s been screaming for in the nasty symptoms that led you to THORN + ROOTS. This is an awesome journey for you and your body.
Throughout the cleanse, the detoxification symptoms you’ll most likely deal with will be headaches, fatigue and fogginess. Yep – same symptoms you had before the cleanse. This is because your body is kicking that nastiness to the curb and prepping you for more energy, mental clarity and overall happiness.
On the second day, you’ll still have those detoxification symptoms. Stay hydrated and keep up with the cleanse. Don’t miss a juice or smoothie – they are the key to sending the sludge packing. You’ll also notice that during this second day of the cleanse, some of the stronger symptoms will start to alleviate and you’ll really start to taste the freshness and well, yumminess of the juices and smoothies. On the third day, you should wake up feeling a little lighter – no, not “I did a juice cleanse and lost 10 pounds lighter,” – just lighter, as in any headaches should be minimal and you’ll begin having more energy and mental clarity. Although, you may lose a little weight, too.
It’s pretty awesome to see just how powerful a three-day juice cleanse can be for your mind, body and overall health. One thing to remember – during the detoxification phase, if you can, give your body and mind the support it needs with rest and relaxation. Just wait and see. In no time at all, you’re gonna swoon.
Wait! Before you plaster on the feed bag, there is a little thing we like to call “Breaking the Cleanse.” Not the coolest name on the block, but we’ve got juice to make and can’t be sitting here all day coming up with funny names. OK, you’ve finished your juice cleanse. First, wrap your hands around your shoulders and squeeze – that’s a hug from us to you. Job well done! For the next week, you’ll want to continue drinking a lot of juice and clean soups while re-introducing solid foods.
On top of that – another phenomenal thing to do for yourself is to pick a day – once a week – and fuel up only with juices and smoothies. We call this preventative upkeep. Yes, we want to see your face as often as we can, but really, we just want you feeling awesome.
You loved your juice cleanse so much that you can’t wait to do it again. Yes! We suggest doing a juice cleanse every 3 – 4 months. Why? Please read this section again. And hey, get out there and reroot your life!
