For those of you who don’t live anywhere near Palo Alto, California, you might want to turn away and not read any further. Continuing on may very well result in a little sad face.
Okay, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Over the weekend, I stopped by Pressed Juicery in the Stanford Shopping Center to try out their new frozen treat called “Freeze”. Basically, it’s their cold-pressed juice frozen to a consistency like soft serve. But it’s not ice cream. It’s like eating a soft serve popsicle only it’s not icy or slushy. It’s smooth and creamy and airy like soft serve but the taste is similar to a juice popsicle.
It’s amazingly good! And it’s 100% juice, nuts and vegetables. Nothing else. That’s actually Pressed Juicery’s motto. There’s no dairy, no added sugar, no gluten and it’s vegan.
I got half Greens and half Chocolate as I couldn’t decide which flavor to go with. There’s six to choose from:
- Greens – kale, spinach, romaine, cucumber, apple, lemon, dates, coconut meat
- Roots – carrots, beets, fuji apple, lemon, ginger, dates, coconut meat
- Citrus – orange, apple, pineapple, coconut meat and dates
- Fruit – fuji apple, strawberry, coconut meat, dates
- Chocolate – almond, dates, sea salt, cacao
- Vanilla – almond, dates, sea salt, vanilla
I got the small size (4 oz) for $4.95. I didn’t get any but there’s also a range of toppings available and they’re the healthy kind too. Add a dollar for up to 3 toppings, everything from fresh berries, to chia and hemp seeds to granola and almond butter as a syrup.
They also had their bottled juices for sale which I barely glanced at. And while they’re known for their juice cleanse, I probably won’t ever do that, but I would happily stop by anytime I’m in the vicinity for a healthy, nutritious frozen treat.

creamy and smooth? juice? how do they do that? I would have gone for the greens and chocolate, too. wow. that is so exciting. I should imagine a similar concept will arrive in the UK in about 10 years time. It took kale chips that long!
Well, as someone who lives one town down from Palo Alto, I may have to check this one out! Of course, it does require a visit to the mall…but still. :)
Crapola this would be my favorite thing EVERRRRR!!!! I am so super jealous and so mad that I didn’t take your advice to turn away! I should have turned away! Just remind me to go when I am near Palo Alto!!!
india leigh – I know, how do they make it? It’s so good, hopefully it won’t take ten years to make it across the pond.
Eileen – It’s actually a pretty good excuse to go to the mall. :-)
Randi – It’s definitely my favorite thing I’ve eaten all summer.
Torture! Okay, I’ve got to get out to Palo Alto next time. Just another thing to look forward to for my spring semester! I hope you might be willing to take a little road trip with me? ;)
Yum!
But that is not a frozen pressed juice…. They all contain coconut meat which is high in fat and calories to create the creamy texture, or the nuts in the sweeter version.
Still looks delicious, just more like a vegan ice cream than a frozen low calorie green juice snack.
YUM! i want to try the roots one!
Hannah – Of course. :-)
Ttrockwood – Actually it’s just their juice but in a frozen form, it’s not ice cream.
LittleMonsterx14 – I’m trying the roots one next time I’m there.
I stayed and read further :) cold pressed frozen juice sounds soooo good right now! I love that you get to choose any flavor and ended up with half and half! Now that sounds downright yummy!
Wow! What a treat! I wished they had something like this close to my place. I really sometimes want to just go out for ice-cream or dessert but there isn’t even a vegan restaurant close by (except for the vegan-friendly sushi shop). I’d go for a combo of fruit and roots! :P
