In the fast-paced world of wellness, trends come and go, but true quality has a way of sticking around. For over a decade, Green Beards has been more than just a juice shop—it’s been a cornerstone of the Irish health movement.

Whether you’re a long-time regular at our Donnybrook or Ranelagh stores or a newcomer looking for the best juice cleanse in Ireland, there’s a reason Green Beards has carved out a cult following. It’s not just about the juice; it’s about a decade-long commitment to raw, uncompromised nutrition.

From New York & Toronto to the Heart of Dublin

Our journey didn't start in a boardroom; it started on the streets of New York and Toronto. Inspired by the vibrant juicing movements in these global wellness hubs, we realized Ireland was missing something vital: a truly raw, high-potency, cold-pressed experience.

Since opening our doors over 10 years ago, we’ve brought that big-city energy to Dublin, staying true to the methods that make cold-pressing the gold standard of nutrition.

What Makes a Green Beards Juice Different?

If you think all juice is "healthy," think again. Most store-bought options are pasteurized or heat-treated, killing the very enzymes your body needs. At Green Beards, we do things differently.

  • 1kg of Veg in Every Bottle: We don’t water things down. Every 414ml bottle of our cold-pressed juice contains roughly 1 kilogram of fresh, high quality produce. That is an incredible amount of vitamins and minerals packed into one convenient sip.

  • Zero Heat, Zero Oxygen: Our hydraulic press extracts nutrients without generating heat, preserving the "living" enzymes and keeping the flavor vibrant and fresh.

  • Short & Sweet Shelf Life: Because our juice is raw and unpasteurized, it only lasts a few days. That’s how you know it’s the real deal.

Beyond the Juice: The Full Green Beards Experience

While the juice might have made us well known, our stores are a treasure trove for anyone looking to fuel their day properly.

1. Superfood Smoothies & Bowls

Need something more substantial? Our Superfood Smoothies (like the fan-favourite Heaven on Earth or the Green Goddess) are blended to perfection. If you prefer to eat your nutrients with a spoon, our Açaí Bowls and Matcha Bowls are legendary—topped with our famous homemade granola and fresh fruit.

2. Powerful Wellness Shots

Feeling under the weather or need a metabolic kick? Our concentrated shots are small but mighty:

  • Ginger: For digestion and immunity.

  • Turmeric: The ultimate anti-inflammatory boost.

  • Cayenne Pepper: To jumpstart your circulation and fire up your morning.

3. Artisan Coffee & Matcha

We take our caffeine (and caffeine-free) game just as seriously. From perfectly pulled 250 Square Coffee to ceremonial grade Matcha, we provide the clean energy you need to tackle the day without the jittery crash.

Sip Smarter: Why Cold-Pressed is the Ultimate Fuel

Discover the benefits of cold-pressed juice at Green Beards. Experience Ireland’s best organic, raw, and nutrient-dense juices delivered to your door. Start your juice cleanse today!

Why Cold-Pressed Juice is the Ultimate Fuel

Green Cold-press Juice

Let’s be honest: not all juices are created equal. If you’ve ever grabbed a "fresh" juice from a supermarket shelf only to find it tastes a bit flat, there’s a scientific reason for that.

If you’re looking for the best cold-pressed juice in Ireland to flood your system with nutrients without the sugar crash, you’ve come to the right place.

What is Cold-Pressed Juice?

Most commercial juices are made using centrifugal juicers. These use high-speed spinning blades that generate heat and introduce oxygen. This process kills off delicate enzymes and oxidizes the nutrients before the juice even hits the bottle.

The Cold-Press Difference:

We use a hydraulic press to gently extract every drop of nectar from our produce. By avoiding heat, we ensure that the "living" part of the plant—the enzymes—stays intact.

The Key Benefits of Raw Juice:

  • Bioavailable Nutrients: Without the heavy fiber to digest, vitamins enter your bloodstream in minutes.

  • 3x the Vitamins: Cold-pressing extracts significantly more nutrients than standard juicing methods.

  • Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Our high quality green juices are packed with anti-inflammatory properties to reduce inflammation.

Why Green Beards is the Best Juice Option in Ireland

We know you have options, but we’ve spent years perfecting the craft to ensure that Green Beards remains the gold standard for raw nutrition in Dublin.

No HPP (High-Pressure Processing)

Many "raw" juices in Irish stores use HPP to extend shelf life to 30+ days. While better than heat, it still affects the "aliveness" of the juice. At Green Beards, we press daily. Our juice is raw, unpasteurized, and full of life.

Expert-Led Juice Cleanses

Looking for a juice cleanse in Dublin? Our programs are designed to give your digestive system a break while keeping your energy levels high. From the zing of our Gingera and. Tumeric Shots to the deep, earthy sweetness of our Beets by Ray and Wanderlust, our recipes are as delicious as they are functional.

Order Your Cold-Pressed Juice Delivery

Whether you’re looking to kickstart a health journey or you just need a morning pick-me-up, Green Beards is here to fuel your hustle.

TIPS AND TRICKS WHILE DOING A CLEANSE

Pre Cleanse.

Start to reduce processed foods, white flour, sugar and alcohol

Transition off meat and dairy

Increase intake of leafy greens, raw vegetables, beans, legumes and nuts

Introduce fresh juice into your diet

During Cleanse.

Stay Hydrated | Aim to drink 2 to 3 glasses of water along with your juices

Rest | As you are on a lower calorie load your energy will naturally dip, this will regulate as the cleanse goes on and you will have more energy as the days progress

Eat If Necessary | Should you feel hungry it's ok to eat, though you should try and keep it as clean as possible; a small salad, some sticks of raw vegetables or a handful of nuts will keep any hunger pangs at bay

Post Cleanse.

Choose as many local, seasonal foods as possible; try to include soups, smoothies and salads and eat smaller amounts more often

Reevaluate what you eat and how much better you feel from simply being more selective with what you buy

Expect increased energy levels and focus

HAPPY CLEANSING!

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF COLD-PRESSED JUICING?

What are the benefits of cold-pressed juicing

The hydraulic cold-pressed juicing method is proven to offer significantly more nourishment and health benefits than any other juicing method. In documented tests, cold-press juices output 5 times the amount of nutrients of those produced by a standard (centrifugal) juicer, and over double the amount of a masticating juicer.

Very little heat is generated by the cold-press process, preserving the maximum possible nutritional value. The cold-press method also generates lower oxidation than alternative juicing methods, further protecting nutrients and enzymes.

All this creates a juice of unrivalled quality containing the maximum possible amount of vitamins, minerals and vital enzymes.

Heating and oxidation kills not just enzymes but flavour too. The superior nutrient profile and low level of oxidation in cold-pressed juices translates directly to superior flavour: they taste crisper, cleaner, smoother and burst with vitality.

The low levels of oxidation means cold-pressed juice stays fresh for longer, holding onto much more of its nutrients over time.

Green Beard's juicing process is a craft, requiring precision and patience, resulting in an unmatched final product.  The cold-pressed method applies tons of hydraulic pressure to produce-filled cloths ensuring the maximum extraction of juice, without pulp.

Our fruit and vegetables are mindfully prepared, and each ingredient is pressed individually, a time consuming but Zen exercise.  Beyond extraction, the raw juice ingredients are married according to recipe and the final product is sealed in 100% recyclable and reusable glass bottles.

Our handcrafted process imparts the juice to an extremely fine quality and flavour which is unequaled by any other method of juicing.  The cold press enables the extracted, pulp-free juice to be bottled and maintain freshness for up to 72 hours.
