Hot Cheetos, Shin Bowls and dining hall pizzas have become staple foods in many college students’ diets, and while eating these deliciously greasy vittles might be conveniently satisfying, they can hardly be considered food for thought.
But despite all the slowness and weight gain caused by bad college diets, the West Hollywood company called The Real Juice specializes in selling juice cleanses, a popular trend in the greater Los Angeles area.
The Real Juice is a delivery service that doesn’t occupy a specific store or location, instead providing speedy, personalized and free local distribution of juice orders. Each cleanse order comes with a cooler bag and cooler packs in order to conveniently preserve the products on the go.

The Real Juice’s level 1 cleanse consists of six 16.9-ounce beverages per day. The first five are juice and vegetable blends that taste fresh and light, while the last is fresh cashew milk. All of the drinks, including the green kale, cucumber, apple and lemon blend are surprisingly refreshing without the need of extra sweetener. Each drink is tastefully blended and satisfyingly filling.
Comparing Westwood’s Pressed Juicery to The Real Juice comes down to what one is specifically looking for in his or her juice cleanse. For more experienced juicers, Pressed Juicery is more likely to be a better fit. Pressed Juicery has a greater variety of juice blends which allows the customer to customize each item in their 8-bottle cleanse.
The Real Juice’s more straightforward approach is better for new juicers or customers who are not so choosy. They provide a preselected 6-juice cleanse per day with two different levels which accommodate for newcomers and experienced juicers.
The Real Juice’s deliver service is something to be commended. With every order, regardless of capacity, the customer can select which day he or she wishes to start the cleanse, and the company provides reliable on-time delivery the night before. Westwood’s Pressed Juicery also provides delivery, but at a minimum 3-day cleanse. Ordering online for Pressed Juicery also requires a minimum of a $40 purchase.
When it comes to pricing, both places have similar costs. Most juice cleanses in Los Angeles are very expensive for the typical student, and The Real Juice is no different. Even with their spring promotion going on until April 21st which takes $20 off any single cleanse (doubling to $40 off a 2-day cleanse and so on) a $55 cleanse doesn’t exactly equate to a steal. Pressed Juicery at the same time offers a similar price of nearly $50 a cleanse without delivery.
But for some, this steep pricing might not seem so unreasonable when keeping the body and health in mind. The purpose of a juice cleanse is essentially to get the body back on track by cleaning out any built up toxins that come from daily consumption of solid food, air pollution, smoking and drinking. Juice cleansing becomes handy for those who are trying to reject bad habits in order to start a new healthier lifestyle, or it serves as an asset for active individuals looking to improve their wellness even further.
While most students probably won’t be willing to pay several dollars on juice no matter how healthy it might be, undergoing a short juice cleanse once in awhile could be a good idea to get the body system back on track. With a straightforward menu, fast shipping and constant juice sales, The Real Juice is an ideal place to start for those who are interested in cleansing.
