But if you scroll past? You risk staying stuck with heat-pasteurized juice that’s been stripped of its natural goodness.

Donโ€™t do your body like that.

In this quick guide, weโ€™ll break down:

  • What is cold pressed juice, and how it is made
  • Why cold pressed is better than traditional juice methods
  • The top benefits youโ€™ll feel (and taste) with every sip
  • Plus, fun facts thatโ€™ll make you the healthiest person at brunchย 

Letโ€™s get to it.

So… What is Cold Pressed Juice?

Cold pressed juice is juice extracted using a hydraulic press, which applies thousands of pounds of pressure to crush fruits and vegetables. Unlike traditional juicing methods (which often involve spinning blades that generate heat), cold pressing avoids heat entirely.

This is key because heat can degrade nutrients, especially delicate enzymes, antioxidants, and water-soluble vitamins like Vitamin C and some B vitamins.

So when we ask, what is cold pressed juice? The answer is simple:
Itโ€™s juice made using pressure rather than heat, resulting in a beverage thatโ€™s fresher, more nutrient-dense, and closer to the source.

At Wonder Juice, every bottle โ€” from Wonder Melon to Wonder Beet โ€” is cold-pressed, certified organic, and crafted without shortcuts.

Why Cold Pressed is Better for Your Body

Wondering why cold pressed is better? Here’s a breakdown of its key health benefits:

1. Maximized Nutrient Retention

Cold pressing retains more vitamins, minerals, and live enzymes than heat-based extraction. These nutrients play roles in everything from immune support to energy production and cellular repair.

2. Supports Immune Health

Because it preserves natural antioxidants and phytonutrients, cold pressed juice delivers a concentrated dose of immune-supporting compounds, especially when made with ingredients like citrus, ginger, or beets.

3. Gentle on Digestion

Blending fruits and veggies into juice means your body can absorb nutrients faster, without needing to break down fiber first. This makes cold-pressed juice ideal for people with sensitive digestive systems or on-the-go schedules.

4. Natural Hydration

Juices like Wonder Melon are rich in water content and electrolytes such as potassium, helping to keep you hydrated while also delivering nutrients.

5. A Clean Energy Boost

Thanks to its unprocessed natural sugars and absence of additives, cold-pressed juice provides a smoother energy lift compared to energy drinks or overly processed snacks.

Why is Cold Pressed Better Than Regular Juice?

Most conventional bottled juices undergo pasteurization. It is a process that uses heat to kill bacteria and extend shelf life. While safe, it also destroys some of the natural nutrients and enzymes found in raw juice.

In contrast, cold pressed juice is made fresh, without heat, and often undergoes High Pressure Processing (HPP) โ€” a non-thermal method used to preserve safety and freshness without compromising nutrition.

Why is cold pressed better? Because itโ€™s:

  • Never heat-treated
  • Free from preservatives and added sugars
  • Nutritionally intact
  • Closer to whole-food form

At Wonder Juice, we elevate that standard even further with:ย 

โœ… USDA Organic Certification
โœ… Fair Trade Certification
โœ… Kosher Certification
โœ… Non-GMO Ingredients
