At Fight Juice we believe the fight against illness begins with what we eat. We can create long-term improvements in the overall health of underserved communities by building stronger immune systems and an appetite for fresh food in our children. Our goal is to donate one juice to a child for every juice sold, until there is a Fight Juice in every lunch box! 

Today 90% of children aren’t eating enough vegetables. Childhood obesity is especially high in low-income communities. Growing up in DC's Ward 7 food desert, company founder Ivy Armstrong understands that early access to healthy food matters and can shape one’s health for a lifetime. This is why Fight Juice is made by blending whole fruits and vegetables to include all the nutrients and fiber traditional juices leave behind, as if a child were eating the raw produce. For many children in lower income communities, these are the only vegetables they will consume all day. If they drink one or even two juices at school, we’re making a big impact by supporting their bodies and minds in health and education.

Blended is better!

Our blending method helps kids eat their vegetables AND solves the problem of the cold-pressed juice. 

When water and sugar are pressed from the fruit or vegetable leaving the nutritious fiber behind, blood sugar spikes and a mountain of food waste is created. Blending whole entire fruits and vegetables makes Fight Juice a zero food waste product and makes it easier for all people to get the servings of raw vegetables we’re missing.

How will we spend the money?

This funding capital we raise will enable us to continue meeting our growing demand and in turn, donate more and more juice! We hope to reach our goal of one juice donated for every juice sold by 2022 and our goal of full sustainability by 2023. This requires additional equipment and working space.

Fight Juice is about community. We purposefully source nutrient dense produce from local farmers and growers to create a circle of support between customers, local farmers and school children.
