SUAMICO − A new company is mixing fruits and vegetables to make juices that complement a healthy diet.
Jessica Scott of Suamico, originally of Chicago, is a nurse. She worked in the health care sector for six years before deciding to start her new company. As part of that work — at her last job for a telehealth company — she designed meal plans, which helped her identify what food items people should consider in their diets.
In January, Scott and her friend launched a blog channel discussing health benefits of drinking juice. One of her posts included a video of her showing how to make a healthy juice with a juicer — an idea that turned into a business.
The post landed her a client, a friend who requested a juice cleanse. This friend then told more people and soon Scott had several interested parties.
"Before you know, I was making 500 bottles a day in my kitchen," she said.
Scott said the juices are made with fruits and vegetables, which are packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
She said these drinks are not made to substitute food, but to complement a healthy diet.
Youth Juice was born in Chicago, but in September Scott moved production of the juices to N.E.W. Co-Packing plant, 2146 E. Deerfield Ave. in Suamico.
The packing plant is "USDA-certified and non-GMO and we have the ability to ship anywhere in the United States," she said.
Scott said her company offers several juice combinations. For example, the "cleanse" drink is made with kale, celery, cucumber, lemon, apple and ginger. Other mixed drinks include the "enhancer," made with beets, watermelon and lemon; or the "breeze," made with peach, mango and pineapple. She also has plain beverages like orange, lemon and lime juices, an apple-cinnamon cider and a pear-cranberry-cinnamon cider.
Prices for these juices are $6.99 for the 8 ounces, $11.99 for 16 ounces, $38 for half a gallon and $79 for a gallon. The ciders are sold for $45 half a gallon. Orders can be made via the Youth Juice iPhone app or the website.
Scott said customers can buy a four-, six- or 52-week subscription on the website or the app by selecting the drink they desire.
