The juice is created by using a hydraulic press that operates with tons of pressure to extract juice without using heat, allowing it to retain its nutrients (and resulting in that average $8-per-bottle price). But for those who want to try the fad and shop locally, the good news is the cold-pressed juice market is growing here in Detroit. Here’s a neat little list of places you can go if you want to give cleansing a try or are just looking for a quick drink. (Plus, you know the health freak within you has been dying to come out since you started doing yoga last month.)
