Boost Juice encapsulates the dynamicity, freedom, fun and creativity that comes from creating your own smoothies and juices. I know that I am always trying to construct a new juice or smoothie for breakfast or for a snack when I am at home or with my friends and as someone who isn't always a successful cook, I am comforted by the fact that almost whatever you throw together in a smoothie tastes awesome! There's nothing wrong with that, in fact, the founder of Boost was actually a newly married lady who had no knowledge in regard to starting a business but had a passion for adventure and loved to inspire others and wanted to create juice and smoothie products that were good for her prospective customers!
