# How are the smoothies processed? Our raw smoothies are made in small batches with a combination of fresh, whole fruits and vegetables, and cold-pressed fruit juices. Our smoothies are all High Pressure Processed to extend shelf life and maintain the nutritional properties of the raw ingredients. This non-thermal process does not cook the ingredients or expose them to any heat: the bottles are simply pressurized at cold temperatures to kill potentially harmful pathogens. This preserves the natural nutritional value and flavor of all the raw ingredients. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
