The only USDA Certified Organic Juice Bar in Denver & Boulder

Frequently Asked Questions About Whole Sol

What makes your juices USDA certified organic cold pressed?

We use 100% certified organic ingredients! This means that our ingredients come from farmers who grow certified organic produce. We take it a step further and have received our USDA certification, which provides 100% certainty that everything in our juices is always organic.

To receive this certification, organic products must be produced using agricultural production practices that foster resource cycling, promote ecological balance, maintain and improve soil and water quality, minimize the use of synthetic materials, and conserve biodiversity. Products must be overseen by a USDA NOP-authorized certifying agent, following all USDA organic regulations, produced without excluded or prohibited methods (e.g., genetic engineering, ionizing radiation, or sewage sludge) and only produced using allowed substances.

Do you make your vegan spreads, butters, and jams?

We make our own Raspberry Chia Jam, Hemp Pesto, Dijon Dressing & Chai. The only ingredients in our nut butters are either peanuts in the peanut butter or almonds in the almond butter.

For the rest of our spreads and butters, we partner with local brands and other small businesses to help promote other businesses with similar missions! These companies include Ozo Coffee, Purely Elizabeth, Madhava Honey, Treeline Nut Cheese and Oathaus.

What did nutritionist do to help design your menu?

Our nutritionists wanted meet two goals when designing our menu. The first is that everything is the highest quality and provides the highest level of nutrition for your body. Everything is always organic, gluten-free and dairy free. Also, we never use any added sugars, processed ingredients, cheap oils, filler, additives, or anything else that isn't real food.

The second goal is making sure that everything is deliciously drool-worthy! We're past the days that eating healthy has to mean eating only raw vegetables (in fact that's not actually healthy). We use a multitude of colors and flavors that each add their unique flavor profile as well as an abundance of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other phytonutrients. Healthy can and should be delicious, and you'll always find that at Whole Sol :)

What kinds of ingredients go into the juices, smoothies, bols etc?

All of our ingredients are gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-forward. We make sure we only use ingredients that you can pronounce and that each ingredient has a benefit for your health. We are 100% transparent. We have complete lists of ingredients in all of our stores that customers can ask a team member to see. This includes full information about allergens. We want to make sure everyone can find something to eat and stay safe at Whole Sol, no matter what your allergies are.

How do you cold press your juices, what is the process?

Cold-pressed juicing is a process that presses fruits and vegatables to extract their juice. Unlike other juicing methods, cold-pressed juicing does not create heat. This helps to maintain all of the nutrients in the produce and extends the shelf-life of the juice.

How do you ensure freshness?

Firstly, you'll see that our products have a shorter shelf life than many of our competitors. This is because we don't include any preservatives or additives to keep them fresh longer. This is a great thing! The nutrition of many foods decreases as time increases, so the highest nutrient density occurs when food is fresh. We train our team members to stay vigilant about the state and quality of all of our ingredients. If something doesn't seem right, it doesn't get served. We work with local produce suppliers to ensure that everything is in the best condition upon delivery so we pass this onto you!

How do you achieve diverse and delicious flavors while maintaining vegan, dairy free, and gluten-free options?

A lot of people have misconceptions that vegan food has to be boring or lack flavor, but that's simply not the case! Nature produces a seemingly unlimited supply of different colors, textures and flavors, and all it takes is a little bit of love and hard-work to combine these flavors in ways that are absolutely irresistible. We love to utilize classic combinations like peanut butter and banana, rice and beans, chocolate and coffee, but we also love creating unique combinations like avocado and white truffle, pumpkin and mango, and sweet potato and orange. It takes a lot of time to develop the perfect recipes, but we are committed to making everything the best.
