Montreal-based DOSE Juice has the secret to everlasting youth. Well, sort of. Unlike most of the fresh juices on the market, their bottles last up to 45 days unopened in your fridge. At $10.00 for a 500 ml bottle, that's a perk you're bound to appreciate.
So what—besides the shelf life, and the pride of buying Canadian-made—makes this stuff worth the price tag? For starters, there's the production process. If you've ever heard healthy types complaining about how nutrients get lost in the juicing trend, you probably get where this is coming from. In a nutshell: DOSE is cold-pressed, so none of the good stuff gets heated out of it.
But let's be honest: how they make it is nothing compared to what they put into it. We're talking flavours, and that's where DOSE really delivers. ZEST combines orange, grapefruit and lemon with a little cardamom for a drink that's worth getting out of bed for. And if 5-a-day really isn't your thing, there's the aptly named KICK: a spiced up bottle of water, delivering a little sweet (maple syrup), a little spice (cayenne pepper) and a nice hit of sour (lemon juice). You might never buy soda again...
