There are many instances in life of growth and change. Occurrences that are so powerful they spark an idea, a movement, an action. For Georgia Curry, JuiceMe owner, this moment occurred ten years ago when a health scare caused her to evaluate her diet and wellbeing. Taking control of her health, she followed the suggestion of her sister and began juicing. Juicing is defined as a process where juice is extracted from fruits and vegetables, such as through pressing or squeezing. The benefits of juicing range from energy boosts to the support of a healthy immune system and even weight loss! Overall, adding more fruits and vegetables to our diets supplies our bodies with the vitamins and nutrients needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle.* And Georgia can attest. Following a Doctor's checkup, she was informed that one of her former health conditions was gone.

At the time Georgia was living in Atlanta, and she began to pay closer attention to the juicing options available to her. As she took deeper notice, she realized that the juice options were often made with added sugars and frozen products, diminishing the benefits of fresh produce. Inspired by the fresh and truly healthy recipes created for her by her sister Olivia, Georgia thought about starting her own juicery.
