Get Your Glow On! IN 2012 Melanie Dufour suffered from an extreme eye infection that was a to get your daily requirement of fruits and veggies as every bottle contains between four to six pounds of fruits and veggies.
After being diagnosed with PTSD in 2017, Dufour realized that she did not want to heal herself and return to the environment that contributed to her emotional overload. “I had the dream of opening Glow Juicery, so it was an easy decision for me to retire an rebuild my life.” The health benefits are plenty, the cold pressed blends are almost instant nutrient, a live enzyme absorption, they give the digestive a break from breaking down food and it’s a great, tasty way to get your daily requirement of fruits and veggies as every bottle contains between four to six pounds of fruits and veggies.

result of severe Candida. “I didn’t know I was intolerant to eggs and ate then every morning and I had has digestive issues for years prior to finding out the culprit. Dufour said, “I was put on the Candida diet and juicing was suggested.” At that time Dufour was stationed in the Northwest Territories from 2011 to 2013 with the RCMP, “I was up North with not much access to fresh fruits + vegetables but made the most out of it. I bought a Breville juicer and juiced as much as I could.” When Dufour would come back to visit the Island she struggled finding healthy places to eat or get juices and smoothies, and that’s when the dream to one day open a juice and smoothie bar was born. “While spending some time in Alberta, I visited all the juice places and met with the owners, picking their brains on how to get started. My goal was to transfer back to the PEI with the RCMP, take a leave of absence and then open a juice bar while continuing my career with the RCMP.” While in Edmonton for work, Dufour came across Glow Juicery, and it instantly resonated with her. “The moment I entered the café, I had a moment: that place was beyond what I could have imagined on my own. It was exactly what I wanted.” Dufour checked their website while sipping a juice, and saw “for franchise information, contact Marnie” and she did. “We met for coffee the following morning, and a week after I put my first deposit down on the franchise. That was back in 2013.”
“As a bonus, the juice is unpasteurized as well.” Dufour said, “Pasteurizing juice actually kills off all the beneficial bacteria that allows your body and cells to heal and repair! It also takes away a lot of the delicious flavour that raw produce has, so not only is unpasteurized better for you, but it also tastes better too!” Dufour recommends placing a weekly order online, “Orders can be picked up at our production location in Tignish and delivery time vary on the orders. Delivery days will be on Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting mid- July.” Personally, I’ve been drinking cold- pressed juice every day for the past two months and I can tell you I find I feel more energized, my digestive system works better, and I’ve managed to drop a dress size. My next step is to have Glow Juicery set me up with a juice cleanse!
