After getting hooked on cold press juices while living in California, Spenser Allaway sent her sisters a subtle hint. She boxed them up a juicer of their own and shipped it home to Halifax. “I have an immune deficiency, so it’s been vital for restoring my health,” says Allaway, who’s sisters Tiffany and Kensey immediately joined her on the juicing bandwagon.
“We’ve all been doing it for a little under a year.”
This mutual liquid love, and some family creativity have brought The Juice Press (Bishop’s Landing, 1475 Lower Water Street) to fruition; the Allaway sisters’ store opens this Friday, July 25, offering both daily creations and a set menu of fresh pressed juices, three different sets of cleanses as well as a selection of smoothie bowls, all made with fresh produce, no preservatives and no added sugar. “I’m from Halifax, it’s a very active city,” says Allaway. “This is perfect for athletes and people with active lifestyles who don’t have time. It’s just an easy way to access nutrients.”
