March to Your Own BEET with Cold-Pressed Juice – Amazing Pressed Juice Cooking Hacks from Celebrity Chef George Duran
As the weather turns cold, nothing ‘beets’ a nutritious grab-and-go treat to take on your way out the door. To keep mornings simple, the choice can only be Beetology™, perfect to throw in your lunchbox, backpack, or purse, or to drink on the go. Healthful and versatile, these cold-pressed juices are guaranteed to quench your thirst and satisfy your sweet tooth without any added sugar, while giving you the fruit and vegetables your body loves and craves!
“Cold-pressed juices are a great way to get your kids the fruits and veggies they need in a tasty and easy way,” says Laura Morris, Associate Director of Marketing at Beetology. “Kids love the flavors so much, they don’t even notice that they’re fueling their bodies with great nutrients.”
In recent years, people have become increasingly motivated to prioritize their health and wellbeing. With this improved health consciousness, the demand for nutritious, natural beverages free of additives has risen as well, which is where cold-pressed juices come in[1]. Due to the hydraulic press extraction process, cold-pressed juicing utilizes significantly less heat than traditional juicing, resulting in greater retention of the ingredients’ vitamins and nutrients2. Unfortunately, this process can equate to price points that can be inaccessible for some, with cold-pressed juice bar prices sometimes ranging up to $20 a bottle. But at an MSR of just $3.99 per 8.45 oz bottle, Beetology makes nutritious, healthful juices with sustainably sourced ingredients accessible to more people than ever, all year long.
Not only are Beetology juices hydrating and great for your body, but as celebrity chef George Duran of TLC and Food Network proves, they’re versatile as well! Some of George’s favorite food hacks using Beetology are as follows:
- Sweeten your mulled wine with Beetology to add some nutritional benefits.
- Turn any pancake mix into red velvet pancakes by using Beetology in place of other liquids.
- Add a burst of color to your candied yams recipe by cooking the yams in Beetology.
“What I really love about Beetology juices is that they’re as great to drink out of the bottle as they are to use in recipes,” says George Duran. “I drink them while I’m cooking and they help to keep me hydrated and energized.”
Beetology comes in five beet-powered blends, each with its own tasty twist: Beet + Lemon + Ginger, Beet +Veggie, Beet + Berry, Beet + Cherry, and Beet + Tropical Fruit. Meanwhile, Each blend offers a distinctively refreshing flavor so essential, you’ll have to stock up on them all. Beetology juices are vegan, non-GMO, certified fair trade and USDA organic, OU kosher, and free of concentrate, added sugar, artificial ingredients, soy, dairy, and gluten.
All varieties of Beetology are available in low-calorie 8.45 oz. glass bottles. For online ordering, distribution locations, recipe ideas, and more, visit www.beetology.com. Also follow them on Instagram @Beetology.

First thing when I wake up, wait a bit, I need to do a special makeup.
I used the GEN NUDE Eyeshadow Palette from the NEW bareMinerals Beauty of Nature Collection, as well as their GEN NUDE mineral-rich long-wearing blush for my Valentine’s Day makeup!
A sweet nice breakfast is necessary for a sweet day. I have the home-made banana muffin with Tahini for the dip, also adding some fruits with coconut whipped cream. This tahini is one of my favorite thing I can add to everything – for salad, pastries, or even my sandwiches. It is the Mighty Sesame Tahini Dressings in squeezable bottles.
Adding a Beetology drink is also a good idea to boost your nutrition and energy!
I wear a warm long knit dress with a red bag for this special day! Being pretty, as the same time keeping warm, this is how smart we are! Lucy Paris has a lot of stylish fashion choices for you for any your special event. The cute red bag is from Urban Originals, I like it because it is very comfortable to wear, also you can have all your needs in this small-look bag no problem.
A morning walk along the cove, I love the breathe and sunshine!
For lunch, I prepare this wild Alaskan salmon at home, with my cat as my date, why not? I enjoy his company.
Sitka Salmon Shares delivers premium, sustainable, wild Alaskan seafood from the fishermen directly to members’ doorsteps! Sitka Salmon Shares is built around a humble collective of committed fishermen that put quality first, handling fish one at a time, with respect and care. It’s their livelihood, afterall, and many of their fishermen have been using these highly selective, small-batch fishing methods for generations. Read on to know your fishermen—from how they got started, why they love life on the open water and why they are part of Sitka Salmon Shares. They also have a lot of recipes on their website!
Valentine’s Day afternoon, I would love to share my time with my bestie – Galentine at Valentine’s Day. I love this double happiness. We went to SOMI SOMI, a super cute yummy tayaki & soft serve ice cream store. What I wear is from Brooklyn Cloth, which is a leader in on-trend apparel that enables their customers to express individuality. They pull inspiration from across the globe, and in their backyard of New York City, to develop their bold collections. Brooklyn Cloth
stands out for its unique fabrics, eye-catching graphics, and must-have silhouettes. They observe trends that define today’s market to bring fresh, expressive collections to the table. 
Valentine’s celebration is always to be official at night. I chose to have cakes with Ryan at one of my favorite dessert spots in San Diego – Extraordinary Desserts.
See these beautiful cakes, I just can’t help myself to draw them on my paper!
There is always something else sweet waiting for me at Valentine’s Day! It is MarieBelle’s signature Ganache chocolate, which comes from New York’s famous Soho District. It is the world-renowned, luxurious bean-to-bar chocolate company, MarieBelle Chocolates.
Before sleep, I need to be relax, because I want to have a sweet dream to end this beautiful day. A hot bath helps. Don’t forget to drop a cute bath bomb into the bathtub. This beautiful crystal bath bomb is from Village Naturals Aromatherapy‘s bath and body collection.
I can say it is a full successful Valentine’s Day for me. And now I need to say good night!
