What started as a hobby became a passion and two boutique locations of The Juicing Tree in Park Hill and LoHi. Both pour limited batches of organic juices with cold-pressed seasonal fruit pulp. Concoctions emerging form the commercial kitchen include the Morning Groove with orange, grapefruit, lemon, seasonal citrus, and apple; and the eggplant-colored Purple Wizard with spinach, kale, parsley, beet, celery, pineapple, and lemon.

This Chicago-based, fast-casual chain set out to reinvent the idea of protein, specializing in healthful but tasty menu items such as salads, quinoa bowls, fresh fruit smoothies, and cold-pressed juices.

Friends since childhood turned their dream of starting a business together into reality with Pressed Juice Daily. Raw and organic with three shops scattered throughout the city, they divide their fresh juices into greens, roots, and citrus varieties.
