After downloading the Booster Rewards App from the App Store, and creating a profile, you are ready to begin earning Berry Points on any in-store or online order through the App. When in-store, before processing payment, be sure to scan your App to earn Berry Points. For online orders through the App, you will automatically earn Berry Points through each order as long as you are signed in.
Berry Points are our Rewards system in which you earn one (1) Berry Point for every $1 spent at Booster Juice before taxes. After you collect enough Berry Points, you can begin redeeming amazing rewards.
Berry Points are earned based on the subtotal before tax. We are unable to reward Berry Points on the tax charged on the order.
We recommend you scan the QR code found in the ‘Scan’ section of your Booster Rewards App before each purchase to ensure you are collecting all your Berry Points. Alternatively, you can also order directly through the App to earn the Berry Points as well. We are unable to add points to your account for purchases without a receipt or proof of purchase or with receipts over a month old. If you have a receipt or the proof of purchase, you can send it to appfeedback@boosterjuice.com for us to review before rewarding you with the Berry Points.
Upon joining, you become a part of Booster Nation and will receive the following benefits:
• A sign up bonus of 15 Berry Points to start your journey towards redeeming rewards;

You will no longer have access to these points after that date.

Dietary Allergies and Restrictions
We currently carry Almond Milk and a line up of signature Booster Balls on our menu that contain nuts. We also receive some ingredients from manufacturing plants that handle other products containing nuts. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that throughout the production process, cross-contact did not occur before the product reached our stores.
We strongly recommend any of our customers with severe nut allergies to alert our staff prior to ordering.
Please visit our Allergen Guide for more information.
You can find a variety of plant-based smoothies on our menu, including the Wildberry Rush, Tropi-Kale, and Spinach Is In It.

At Booster Juice, we place your health as our #1 priority. Allergens are a serious issue, and therefore a full wash, rinse and sanitize cycle is done for all utensils and blender jars after each use. We also have 2 different colour blender jars in our stores used to blend smoothies; our clear jars are used for the majority of our smoothies, while our purple tinted jars are used specifically for almond milk smoothies. By separating the jars that are used to make our smoothies, we can ensure that customers who may have a nut allergy can be confident that their smoothie was made in a nut-free blender jar.
Yes! We offer substitutions of any fruit for free. You will only be charged if you add additional fruit to your beverage.

Superfoods
Matcha is the oldest variety of shade-grown Japanese Green Tea, traditionally used in Zen Buddhist ceremonies for over 800 years. Ground into a fine, jade-green powder using granite grinding wheels, Matcha is then whisked with water to create a unique, beautiful and richly flavorful drink. It's also one of our favourites here at Booster Juice!
Matcha Green Tea is grown in the Nishio Region in Japan, an especially fertile region of the country thanks to its temperate climate and proximity to fresh riverwater.
One (1) cup of Matcha Green Tea has approximately 10-15 times the nutrients of Regular Green Tea.
Regular green tea is steeped; when tea is steeped, approximately 80-90% of the naturally-occurring nutrients are lost. This is because most of the vitamins in tea are not water soluble. However, with Matcha Green Tea, the tea leaves are ground up and consumed as a whole, providing the full spectrum of nutritional benefits that Matcha has to offer!
Matcha Green Tea contains the highest antioxidant (ORAC) count compared to all known fruits and vegetables. On a per gram basis, Matcha Green Tea is the most powerful antioxidant in the world!
Yes, the Matcha used in both the Matcha Monsoon and Mind Over Matcha smoothies is the same proprietary Booster Juice blend of Matcha Green Tea that is sold in-store.
Wheatgrass was first introduced by Ann Wigmore over 40 years ago. By pressing and squeezing the tender young blades of the wheat plant, a dark green juice is extracted which is a great source of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and chlorophyll. During the germination and sprouting phase of the young wheatgrass, the stored food in the wheat berry is converted into predigested living food- an amazing source of vitamins and minerals not found anywhere else.
In theory, to get the most from any vitamins or and minerals, a person’s total intake should come in a form that is as close to its natural state as possible. Wheatgrass is a living food at the time of juicing and for a period of 10 to 15 minutes after harvest meaning it is less diluted than other forms. Wheatgrass juice is also high in Vitamin C, A, B, and E, making it a terrific source of all four vitamins. This green juice also has over 90 minerals which are needed to maintain good metabolism. The presence of these alkaline minerals are found in wheatgrass which contains calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron, a mineral essential for transporting oxygen to the lungs. Last but not least, organic sodium is also found in Wheatgrass, aiding in digestion and regulation of the amount of fluids in the body.
The Environment
Yes, all of our to-go cups are in fact recyclable! We also offer an assortment of reusable tumblers, chug jugs, and other Booster Juice-branded mugs in-store.
No! In fact, Açai grows on the Açai Palm Tree, the same tree harvested for Heart of Palm- another common palm product that requires cutting down the entire tree rather than simply waiting for it to bear fruit. However, locals make more money harvesting the Açai fruit year after year rather than harvesting their trees for “Heart of Palm”; this means more money in their pockets long-term in addition to helping save the Rainforest!
