What We Do
Suja Life embodies the promise to be your empowering, daily wellness partner with its brands, Suja Organic & Vive Organic. Suja Life’s story began in 2012 from a shared dream to help people everywhere transform their lives through conscious nutrition. Responding to a lack of clean, nutritious, and convenient beverages available, Suja Life’s founders crafted a line of organic cold-pressed juices as a convenient way to live a plant-powered lifestyle. What started as locally delivering cold-pressed juice on a skateboard in SoCal has evolved into a multi-brand platform of nationally-available, high quality, organic and functional beverages. Today, we carry on our founders’ mission to get the best quality organic and non-GMO beverages into as many hands as possible by making earth’s freshest and most powerful ingredients conveniently available in the closest possible form to the living plants they originated from. Suja Life has quickly become the nation’s leader of organic and cold-pressed juices and shots with portfolio brands Suja Organic and Vive Organic, and is excited to guide your journey as your daily wellness partner.
