Short Summary
Gruvi Spirulina Juices are a new line of healthy not from concentrate fruit juice beverages. We are based in Brooklyn, NY. In our line up there are multiple mixes of all natural fruit juices infused with the superfood Spirulina. This idea emerged from the founder of our company, Dr. Bert Benjamin who is a doctor of holistic nutrition. Dr. Benjamin has a passion for health and came up with the concept while on a month long juice fast. Alongside co-founder Jermaine Francis, they developed the brand Gruvi Juices. Partner Derick Jones is the newest member of the team. Gruvi Juices is one of the healthiest lines of juices available on the market. There are no preservatives or processed sugar, all our juices are naturally sweetened from fruits or agave. There are currently three flavors available: Spiruline Green which is a mix of apple, lemon and lime juices; Banana Power which is banana and apple based; and our most popular Fruit Fiesta which is pineapple based.

Why is funding needed?
We will use the funding to co-pack these tasty and healthy juices. We co-packed a small run and put it on shelves in New York. The response was so overwhelming that there is a demand to co-pack a larger run. Meeting our goal will allow us to produce two pallets and begin to expand throughout New York. Gaining distribution and getting out to health food stores in the greater New York area are our immediate goals and we need your help to do it. Having tested the market there is definitely a need and want for our healthy and natural juices. With your help we can make this happen. Gruvi is a lifestyle brand supporting yoga, cycling, meditation and all things Gruvi! Check out our pledge list and you too can be enjoying the taste of Gruvi.
