Renew Juice & Mylk with Brooke ~ Part 1

Locally Sourced Nutrition at Cold & Thirsty

Brooke Rewa is like a ray of sunshine! I have been drinking her incredible juices and mylks for some time now, and I wasn’t too surprised to see the person behind my favorite brand match her high vibrational line. I always seek these amazing juices because they are in glass bottles (I’m trying to ban all plastic in my home), and because of the unique combinations of super foods and  pressed juices. For example my favorite tonic called Radiant Skin contains blueberries, pearl powder, ginger, chia seeds, lemon and cayenne. The others I absolutely am addicted to are Super Roots and Fountain of Youth.  I usually get a hold of the Radiant Skin juice or the various Mylks at my local Farmers Market, but now Brooke is opening a store front in Venice called Cold & Thirsty. The juice/wellness bar also has a cryosauna available.

For more locally sourced, organic eateries see The Local Rose.

Cryosauna were only available to famous athletes like Kobe Bryant and Floyd Mayweather, but now we can have a chance to experience this anti-aging healing experience.  The cold sauna helps decrease inflammation, increase cell growth, accelerate muscle growth, help hair growth and tighten skin  . . . what could be better!?

Brooke is interviewed below and soon a recipe from her for her delicious Golden Mylk using sprouted organic ingredients. I admire her for bridging together her love of the environment, with a desire to bring us the ultimate opportunities in the health world.

1) What inspired you to start your milk and juice line?
There were several things that inspired the actual finished product but my main inspiration to put out a juice line was the amazing benefits I saw from juicing at home. I had been very sick for about a year, to the point where I was having a hard time eating solid food. So I started juicing at home. Got my own little cold pressed juicer and started creating fun and healthy combinations. My energy skyrocketed, my skin was glowing, hair and nails getting strong and growing so quickly. It was truly powerful and I wanted everyone I knew to experience these benefits!
The mylk was a similar situation where I realized that I was getting stomach aches from the almond milk I was buying at the store. Once I took a closer look at the ingredients I realized why and immediately started making my own almond milk at home. The idea of this chemical filled “milk” product being the only option for people was terrifying and really motivated me to get an organic, sprouted and nutritious product out to the public.

2) What makes your heart sing?
Furry creatures (especially my Maltese and bunnies) and helping people realize living a healthy lifestyle can be so tasty and rewarding!

3) I am obsessed with your radiant skin juice. What are some of the top 3 juices or milks for luminous skin and
beauty?
Oh gosh. The Radiant Skin is so special and truly effective between the blueberries, pearl powder, chia seeds and lemon. I also love our Glow juice for a quick skin “pick-me-up.” I can literally see my skin glow after drinking a bottle. The Vitality is also great for skin, packed with greens with a little habanero kick!

4) I so love that you use glass bottles rather than plastic. What other environmentally conscious things do you implement in your company?
Yes! Glass was a must for me. It’s so much better for both the environment and our bodies.
We also reuse our almond/juice pulp. We are working with this great new company called Pulp Peeps who is using all of our leftover pulp to create meals and help feed the homeless. It’s a family of 5 children running the company. They’re truly amazing!

5) What or where is your favorite meal?
Well, if I’m being honest PIZZA! Thin crust brick oven pizza loaded with veggies and a nice glass of Malbec.

6) Where do you see yourself in ten years?
I would love to have my own little farm animal rescue. It has always been a dream of mine. A peaceful place for them to just live out their lives.

7) Tell us about Cryo sessions and your new place opening?
Oh yes! I just opened my very first storefront, Cold & Thirsty. It’s a Juicery and Cryosauna. The two go hand in hand helping people head down a healthier path. We like to say “come get healthy in five minutes.” The cryo sauna is basically a cold sauna with temps getting down to -240 degrees. There are many great benefits but my favorites include; significantly reduced inflammation, increased energy, it’s highly effective in treating arthritis and joint issues, tightens the skin and boosts collagen production. We of course are also serving juice and mylk and many other great locally made grab and go items.

8) Do you have a motto or philosophy you live by?
Enjoy the moment and practice gratitude daily. Life can be amazing if you let it.

9) As a child did you envision this path you are on?
I was interested in nutrition and health at a young age. I became a vegetarian at 12 and was certainly the only person in my family who even considered that lifestyle. Health, and health food have always been a passion of mine and I feel so lucky to be an active part of that world.

10) Are you a mermaid or forest fairy?
100% mermaid. I’m positive I was one in a past life.
