Innovators will have nutritious fuel to power their ideas as Glow Juicery opens its doors at the Okanagan Centre for Innovation in downtown Kelowna.

乌鸦传媒淲hen I started my health journey, I always wanted to give back with wellness,乌鸦传媒� said Kelowna owner Kathleen Treadgold. 乌鸦传媒淲e乌鸦传媒檙e here to provide our customers healthy, convenient grab-and-go options乌鸦传媒� and to be fueled by our fresh cold-pressed juices and delicious raw food breakfast and lunch items.乌鸦传媒�

Treadgold started selling fresh cold-press juice from her Glow Juicery shop in the Landmark Towers location in May 2015, marking the fourth location for the Edmonton-based business originally founded by Marnie Ashcroft. On the menu are 11 cold-press juices, 9 regular and two seasonal ones, plus raw food offerings and fresh almond milk.

Treadgold encourages newcomers to try the taste and see the clarity of a cold press juice. Cold-pressed juicing does not use a blade or any type of spinning process that would heat up the produce. Instead, large metal plates with a force of 28,000 lbs. press the vegetables together to draw out the juice and nutrients. Glow Juicery乌鸦传媒檚 process ensures the greatest amounts of vitamins, trace minerals and enzymes are preserved during the juicing process, bringing the best flavours and the highest volume of plant energy to every bottle.

From certified organic apples to field cucumbers, kale and spinach, fresh produce is sourced from local producers, including Apple Acres, Avenue M, Don-O-Ray Vegetables Thunderhill Farm and Unearthed Farm.

乌鸦传媒淲e乌鸦传媒檙e so blessed to have the abundance of fresh local products and we love giving back to the community,乌鸦传媒� said Treadgold. 乌鸦传媒淛ust one juice can take a pound of carrots and its not uncommon for us to press up to 500 cucumbers in a week.乌鸦传媒�

Among the raw food offerings are raw salads and pizza. Pizza crusts are made from a mixture of almond milk pulp and flax seeds then topped with cashew cheese, fresh pesto and a selection of local toppings.

For Treadgold, her recipe for her success in the Kelowna market has been due to a dedicated passionate, hard-working team, made up largely of nutritionists and staff.

乌鸦传媒淔resh juice has a limited shelf life, so we乌鸦传媒檝e had a steep learning curve to find the right inventory levels,乌鸦传媒� she says.

乌鸦传媒淲e乌鸦传媒檝e seen traffic to the shop increase over these two years as new customers have heard about us and have come and sought us out. We have a love and passion for this business and a true commitment to our community; one you can experience once in the shop. It乌鸦传媒檚 so fresh and inviting! We love spending time with customers.乌鸦传媒�
