All recipes can be 100% vegan, though honey is often offered as one of several sweetening choices.
There's even an original recipe for vegan yogurt, made with nut milks and probiotics. And no juicer is required: Tourles uses a high-powered kitchen blender to turn raw ingredients into satisfying drinks.

Shot of Citrus Punch
This is the perfect winter beverage to enjoy when citrus fruits are at their most succulent. It's a tantalizingly fragrant, sweet-tart, pinkish-orange explosion of vitamin C! Great for breakfast or any time you need a shot of energy that's both powerful and tasty.
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 medium grapefruit
- 1 medium orange, tangerine, or tangelo
- 1 medium lime
- 1 medium lemon
- 1 tablespoon raw honey, raw agave nectar, or maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Directions
- Cut the grapefruit, orange, lime, and lemon into halves and juice with a manual or electric juicer; strain out the seeds.
- Vigorously stir the honey and salt, if desired, into the juice until thoroughly blended.
- Serve immediately, complete with all of the fiber, as I do, or strain through a mesh strainer to yield a more clarified beverage. Mix with a splash of carbonated water to make a naturally yummy sparkling soda.
A good source of: antioxidants, vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, natural sugars, and fiber (if you don't strain it out)
