Sometimes Momma does know best. That's what happened for Leon Kinnard, Founder of Revive, a cold-pressed juice company, in Finksburg, MD.
After a challenging foot injury from playing collegiate football, Leon was faced with the realization that he needed a back-up plan.
His mother told him that healthier food, like fruits and vegetables, would heal him.
Wise woman.
Leon listened to his Momma, shifted gears, and created Revive.
Revive is a direct-to-customer business, bringing healthy and fresh juice straight to you. They offer four signature flavors:
Immune & Energy
Healthy Gut
Super Antioxidant
Ultra Glow
Seasonal (Watermelon for Summer)
I met up with Sarah Hios, Executive Assistant at Revive, while visiting the Sykesville Farmer's Market. She's a wealth of information on their juicing process, and she's pure sunshine!
Everything gets cleaned; we prepare it. Some things with skin, some things without; just depends on the fruit or vegetable. Then they go into this giant commercial juicer; pack it down, and it's in this linen bag. And then you press it! The juice comes out and it goes directly into the bottle.

Leon, himself, has created each recipe with a lot of thought and consideration. They are in the process of becoming Kosher certified, and are looking into having their delectable juices available in a store near you.
Each juice is so fresh, that the shelf life is for one week. You won't find any preservatives, added sugars, added water, and no GMOs. Just pure, quality ingredients. You can also freeze the juice for a later date. Plus, they're in glass bottles. As a conscientious consumer, that makes me very happy.
I love fresh juice so much, that I make it at home. But the combination of ingredients that Revive offers is stellar. They're refreshing, crisp and nutritious. And the natural colors are beautiful.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the signature drinks, and the seasonal watermelon juice. We each had a favorite, mine being Healthy Gut. But truly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Revive only uses alkalizing ingredients, offering the consumer a wealth of healing benefits.
When your body is in an alkalizing state, it's healing. So we use ingredients that are all alkalizing. That just means they're from the earth, they have seeds, they're not genetically modified, which we love."

And we loved them too! I'm ordering more, and plan to meet back up with Sarah in the fall to experience their autumnal flavor.
For now, you can purchase cold-pressed juices from Revive at https://revivehealth.life
They also offer juice cleanses, wellness shots and herbal supplements.
You can follow them on social media to see where they'll pop up next. It could be at a Farmer's Market or a special event near you.
