The Vase
Vazaki chooses organic Greek products. We place great value on both the quality and the locality of the products.
Organic produce is grown without the use of harmful chemical hormones, pesticides and fertilizers. Studies show that organic food has significantly more nutritional value than conventional food. By choosing organic products we take care of our health and our body, our immune system, the soil, the earth and in general the health of this planet. Locality is about supporting local producers – for the effort they put in, maintaining the seasonality of fruits and vegetables and because we believe that the Greek land is a magical place that produces delicious products.
We are Mariadina and Stavroula - two childhood friends - who love the good life, that is, we love the life that is full of action, energy, movement, contribution, joy, creation. But we noticed that something often prevented us from doing everything we want and feeling good. That feeling of tiredness and sleepiness, which we have all felt at times, without really having a reason. And so we tried something a little healthier, a little more alternative... something that finally gave us the energy and well-being we were looking for.
So we started, in December 2013, experimenting and testing what effect each food has on our body and spirit... a month later we were feeding on 80% juices, salads and nuts. Yes, believe us, it can be done!! The change in our body, skin and mood was immediately apparent.
We continued to read, experiment, communicate with other people and exchange opinions. Until February 2014 we decided that this is it!: we have to communicate it to everyone and make juice accessible and part of our daily life!
VAZAKI became a reality in May 2014 because we want to share with the whole world the way to live well, to feel well, without it being considered a luxury or a craze of the "cool".
The Greek land offers many fruits and vegetables, delicious and nutritious. At the same time, the producers of Greek organic products are increasing. And a philologist friend of ours reminded us that Hippocrates said: "Let food be your medicine and your medicine be your food". So, we thought, everything is around us, it is ready, all that remains is to make it a way of life!
A few months later, we believe even more in what juices have to offer, and so we are preparing a special place for you to taste great juices in peace, to discover flavors you never imagined and to feel beautiful!
Take a few days for yourself
The idea of a juice cleanse is to give your body and mind a break and
to let it rest as nature intended. A juice detox is not considered a diet but a form of nutrition (with liquids) for a few days (recommended duration for beginners: 3 days).
THE JAR offers a complete range of juices from organic fruits, vegetables and almond milk (lactose free, low fat) which provide the necessary nutrients (fuel) you need
the body to function.
1. How does it work?
You rest your body because you facilitate and rest the digestion process. Did you know that? The body spends significant amounts of energy on digesting and absorbing food. You learned it
You cleanse your body of toxins that have been stored for a short or long time. Fruits and vegetables have antioxidant properties and in the form of juice they strongly help to remove toxins.
You give your body a boost with vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Did you know that? The body absorbs all the nutrients of the juice within 15 minutes. You learned it.
2. How often can I do?
You can do a juice cleanse as often as you want as long as you "listen to your body". Ideally, it could become a habit and give yourself a 3-5 day per season or one day per month or per week… as often as you like.
3. What is the prescription?
The juice recipe can be found in the yellow notebook in the JAR. A year of research, study, testing and taste testing led us to the final design of juice cleanse packs. Our juices contain the "perfect" ratio of organic fruits and vegetables to fill you with nutrients and satisfy you in taste.
Every day you can consume 2 fruit based juices 2 vegetable based juices and 1 almond milk. You can change the ratio with more vegetable juices but the opposite cannot happen with fruit juices.
4. Will I be hungry?
No. The package includes 5 juices of 580 ml which cover the needs of the daily diet. Their consumption is divided during the day into 5 meals: breakfast, lunch, lunch, afternoon, dinner.
5. Can I change the order?
THE JAR has planned the order of consumption of the juices but always has alternatives to suggest.
6. The juicer:
VAZAKI is the first juice bar in Greece that consciously chose to use the best juicer in the world with an innovation patent from 1924, Norwalk Juicer – Made in the USA. Its originator was Norman Walker, one of the first people to talk about juicing and raw food at the beginning of the 20th century. It works slowly and compresses the fruits and vegetables with a hydraulic press (coldpressed juice), without "burning" them, extracting the maximum of their nutrients.
