Cold-Pressed Juice Shots: Benefits of Freezing & 5 Ways to Enjoy Them
If you've ever wondered why our Elixir shots come in little flat sachets rather than bottles, there's a very good reason.
And it involves two mums, eight boys between us, and freezers that are already full of fish fingers. 😂
When we started Elixir Freshly Frozen, we wanted to make enjoying proper cold-pressed juice a little easier.
Because we know what real life looks like.
You buy all the lovely fresh ingredients, promise yourself you're going to juice every morning, and then suddenly it's Thursday, the spinach has gone slimy and the juicer hasn't moved from the cupboard.
Sound familiar?
We get it. Which is why we do the pressing for you.
Why freshly frozen?
We make our juices and shots in small batches and freeze them fresh, so you can keep them in your freezer until you're ready to enjoy them.
No need to drink everything within a couple of days of delivery.
No rushing through a week's worth of juice.
And no discovering that the ingredients you bought with the best intentions have gone off before you've used them.
Just proper cold-pressed juice, ready for when life gets busy.
Why little flat sachets?
Space!
If you've got a freezer full of family dinners, frozen peas and emergency fish fingers, you'll know exactly what we mean.
Our shot sachets stack neatly and take up far less room than a collection of little bottles.
You can tuck them into a drawer, take out what you need and leave the rest safely frozen.
Simple.
Five ways to enjoy your Elixir shots
1. Straight up
The classic. Defrost a shot, give it a shake and enjoy it just as it is.
Our Ginger Shot is a favourite when you fancy something with a proper kick.
2. With breakfast
Keep a few shots ready for your morning routine.
Whether you're having porridge, toast or grabbing something before the school run, it's an easy little addition to breakfast.
3. Added to a smoothie
Fancy changing things up?
Try adding a defrosted shot to your favourite smoothie.
Our Ginger Shot works particularly well with fruity combinations.
4. Mixed into a drink
Try adding a defrosted shot to chilled water for something a little different.
Our Apple Cider Vinegar Shot, with apple and raspberry, is a lovely option for this.
5. As part of your own juicing routine
This one's for everyone who already owns a juicer.
We love that you make your own juice!
But we also know there are mornings when you simply haven't got the time to wash, chop, press and clean everything afterwards.
That's where we come in.
Keep a few Elixir shots in the freezer for the days you don't get around to making your own.
You don't have to choose between making your own juice and buying ours. You can do both.
