FRESH AND CLEAN #11
Juice Crafters 220 Marine Ave., Newport Beach juicecrafters.com

Anti-aging, muscle and nerve stregthening, and vision improvement are just a few of the slew of upgrades that these juices hope to provide. Enough of the watermelon, carrot, apple, and ginger “Fresh and Clean #11”, you’ll be giving Superman a run for his money.
