FAQ

Hi There, I'm pregnant, and am wondering if jugo juice is pasterized or not? Is it safe for me? Thanks!

- Stephanie

Jugo Juice uses pasteurized unsweetened juices in all their smoothies. Our fresh pressed juices are unpasteurized but are still safe during pregnancy if consumed immediately. The concern regarding unpasteurized juices during pregnancy is for a small percentage of fresh juices and ciders sold at roadside stands, farmers markets, and in some grocery stores in the refrigerator section of the produce department or on ice. In these cases it is unknown how long the juice has been sitting and if juice has been sitting for a length of time in warm conditions it gives bacteria a chance to replicate quickly. Pasteurization is a treatment to eliminate disease-causing bacteria such as E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella, Cryptosporidium and some viruses. Children, pregnant women, the elderly or people with weakened immune systems should not consume unpasteurized juices such as these to avoid getting sick.

I am experiencing digestion problems and a friend of mine told me I may have issues with gluten. What are the symptoms and which foods contain gluten?

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. People that have a sensitivity to gluten my have a gluten intolerance which means they don’t digest it well and may experience gas, bloating, cramping or diarrhea. Note that if you have a gluten intolerance you may be able to tolerate small amounts of gluten and don’t medically need to avoid gluten containing foods.

On the other hand celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the small intestine is damaged by gluten and leads to poor absorption of nutrients. It is medically necessary to avoid ALL gluten in your diet for life if you have celiac disease. Symptoms of celiac disease may include diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, weight loss, low iron levels and skin rashes. If you have celiac disease and do not follow a gluten-free diet you have an increased risk of developing nutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, reduced fertility, lymphoma and potentially other autoimmune disorders. If you suspect that foods such as pasta, bread and wheat based cereals cause you issues you can talk to your doctor and ask for a blood test to see if you have celiac disease.

What is the nutritional information for the Breakfast Wrap?

Thanks for your question and for your interest in Jugo Juice!

Our Breakfast Wrap is what we consider a ‘local favorite’ recipe and it not mandartory at every Jugo Juice store. It is an optional item that can be sold based on customers preferences and extra room in the display case at a certain location. This is why you will not find the nutritionals for it listed in our nutritional guides or online.

However, attached is a PDF of the nutritional information on our Breakfast Wrap and other local favorite wraps.

Have a great day,

Is it ok to use the whole part of a vegetable, carrots, celery when using it in a juicer? I witnessed something at Jugo Juice and that is, the person making the juice used a whole carrot, a whole stick of celery without it being properly washed!!! I saw dirt on the celery stick and the carrot was not even peeled, nor did it look like it was washed! YUCK!

what size is the cup where you list the nutritional information ?

Hi there! I love Jugo's smoothies however I try to be incredibly (maybe too much so?) conscious of what I put in my body. I use to get Booster Juice and found out they use sorbet's and powder's and other things. Jugo Juice doesn't, however I had one yesterday and noticed that it contained 67grams of carbs. I checked and a piece of the kind of bread I eat (which isn't made with wheat so this makes sense)...only has 36 grams of carbs (12% of your daily intake?). SO, I figured 'okay that's not that bad then'. I guess my question is, shouldn't the big smoothies from Jugo fill you up in the sense of being like a meal if they have that many carbs? I drank one thinking it would be my lunch but I was really quite hungry about an hour later and ended up getting a half a sandwich too. Was this hunger maybe simply associated with the fact that there isn't a lot of protein? Oh my goodness this is a loaded question but I'm just curious! Thank you very much. This is awesome that you can ask these questions on here!

- Caelee

Great to hear you are focused on fuelling your body with excellent nutrition! How long a meal will keep you full will depend on several things including meal size, meal composition and individual variation. Here are 2 questions to ask:

1. Do I feel comfortably full after my meal? If the answer is no then you may need to add something else to your meal to increase the size. Appetite will vary from person to person and day to day. Some people need to chew something (rather than just drink something) in order to feel full. In addition to drinking a smoothie so you may just need a sandwich or other solid food to go with your smoothie. If a wrap or flatbread sandwich and a smoothie felt too filling then why not try a snackin’ smoothie or fresh pressed juice with a wrap or sandwich.

2. Did the meal last me 3-5 hours? If the answer is no then you may need to add some additional protein to your meal since protein is digested slower than carbohydrate. You may try adding whey or soy protein (Jugo Juice Xtra Benefit) to your favourite smoothie or choosing one of the Jugo Juice protein shakes to help prolong fullness. Protein is also found in meat or cheese in wraps or flatbread sandwiches or in protein bars, nuts, eggs and more.

Hi! Simply wondering if I can still enjoy my favorite «Absolutely Açaï» being pregnant? I sure hope so! I'm not sure about the açaï superfood part???? Thank you!

- Karina

You can definitely safely enjoy the Absolutely Acai smoothie while you are pregnant. The Absolutely Acai smoothie contains 100% natural acai fruit pulp, mango, blueberries, banana, unsweetened cranberry juice and unsweetened pomegranate juice. There are no sugars, emulsifiers, binders or additives added at all. Acai (pronounced AH-sigh-EE) contains many nutrients but is especially known for anthocyanins which are pigments that give the ripe fruit its purple color. Anthocyanins are potent antioxidants that are good for cancer and heart disease prevention. Acai fruit pulp has a very high antioxidant capacity. It has more antioxidant content than cranberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, or blueberry1. 1 Del Pozo-Insfran D, Brenes CH, Talcott ST.

Hi Andrea,

I'd like to know if there is lactose content in Watermelon Wiggle. I'm trying to pinpoint some things that disturb my GI tract and think lactose may be one of them. Thanks.

- Stephen

There is no lactose in the Watermelon Wiggle Smoothie. This smoothie contains only watermelon, mango, and unsweetened juice. Lactose is a naturally occurring sugar found in milk and milk products, but may also be added to other foods. You can look for hidden sources of lactose in foods in an ingredient list that say milk, whey, curds, cheese, sweet or sour cream, buttermilk or malted milk. While most people can eat lactose containing foods, if you suspect you have lactose intolerance you can ask your doctor to send you for a test to investigate this. Signs of lactose intolerance include bloating, cramping, gas, nausea and diarrhea after eating foods that contain lactose.

I know that fibre helps to “keep you regular” but I also heard that fibre is good for your heart. Is this true and how do I know if I am getting enough?

You can think of fibre as the part of plant based foods that the body cannot digest and use. Fibre is beneficial to promote a sense of fullness which can aid in managing a healthy weight. There are 2 main types of dietary fibre.

Insoluble fibre is found in food such as the skins of fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds as well as whole grains such as whole grain bread or bran cereal. This type of fibre helps to “keep your regular” and prevent constipation.

Soluble fibre is found in food such as psyllium based bran cereal, oatbran, oatmeal and the inside of fruits and vegetables. This type of fibre can improve control of your blood sugars as well as reduce your blood cholesterol levels.

It is recommended that adults get 25-38 grams of fibre per day for optimal health. Remember to drink plenty of fluids as you increase your fibre intake. For a listing of fibre levels in food check out Health Canada’s “Nutrient Value of Common Foods Booklet”. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/nutrition/fiche-nutri-data/nutrientvalue-valeursnutritives-eng.php

how many calories should a 13 year old take in a day? how many calories should a 8 year ald take in a day?

- Rachel

How many calorie levels a person should take in per day will depend on their age, gender, height, activity level, body composition, genetics and family history.
An 8 year old male would need approximately 1500-2000 calories per day and a female between 1400-1850 calories per day depending on calorie levels. A 13 years old male would need approximately 1900-2600 calories per day and a female between 1700-2250 calories per day depending on calorie levels.
