Chef and Juice master
Frank was born and raised in Cuba. He came to New York when he was 11. Living in Cuba, he was exposed to lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. So fresh, actually having fruit trees like mango and bananas in his backyard.
When he was 14 he moved to New Jersey, lot of things changed, like his diet, eating the American standard. Lots of processed, not fresh foods, meats, and carbs.
At 25, he had a urinary track infection which caused him to see a doctor. The Dr. Said the only way to to prevent this is drinking water and eating lots of fruit and veggies with high water content. After focusing on this it did heal and hasn’t gotten one since.
When he turned 26/27 he started getting dizzy spells, head-aches, allergies, and sneezing a lot. He resisted going to the doctor but eventually he was feeling hopeless and was looking for answers. He ended up seeing 6-7 doctors and they all wanted to do the same things, testing, exams, pills, blood work and nothing helped.
At this point he started doing his own research to see what he can do to help. He found a radio program with a host named Gary Null. He discusses spirituality, vegetarianism, veganism, and lifestyle. Frank took off running with that information!
Then he started watching the ‘Juice man’:

He was inspired to buy his juicer and started juicing!! And hasn’t stopped!
Changing his diet, lifestyle, and adding in juicing, everything improved!!
2004, Frank moves to Florida.
He started working at Josh’s Juice Bar on Hollywoods beach boardwalk (Frank and Marisa met here!!). He worked there for 14 years. Making juice and drinking juice 5 times per week, he kept up with his lifestyle and his health is still thriving! During the time at Josh’s Juice Bar, Frank started to perfect the recipes combinations of the juices, smoothies, and dressings.
Josh’s market ended up closing down (this was very devastating for us. The food was so vibrant, full of life and energy).
After the market unexpectedly and suddenly closed, Frank took a year off and didn’t want to juice ever again, that was all he did!!
A wonderful customer from the juice bar reached out to him and was looking for weekly juice preparation. He declined but, she offered him her professional juice press and felt compelled to start juicing again!
He started juicing and making it from home. Many customers reached out, yoga studio owners sharing Frank’s juice with their students, and the word started to spread! He then had a stand at Glacier Farms market in Miami, where more customers wanted weekly juice.
Then, Marisa found Frank on IG. She just had a baby and was in search for some clean, vibrant juice. She was so overjoyed with Frank’s products, she recommended him to many people in the Boca community. After 4 years of being Frank’s customer, she came to him, wanting to start a business and offer this to many more people looking for Authentic, vibrant, really good juice!!

Marisa was born and raised in New York. Living off of carbohydrates and sweets until the age of 12. She was introverted, ultra sensitive, and had not much self confidence. Moving to Florida in 8th grade changed her life. After school, she would play outside and go swimming all year long. One day, she was invited to go to the beach with her new friends. At the beach, she was the only one wearing a full piece Speedo bathing suit and all of the other girls were in their bikinis with their beautiful, tiny bodies. That summer she was on a mission to look and feel good enough to wear a bikini as well. It started to become easy. The bagels, pizza, and pasta in Florida were not as good as they were in New York. She eliminated most of that and became more mindful. At 16 she started working out and going to the gym.
A decade passed, going to college (definitely parting a lot) but she still always went to the gym and would try juicing, and eating salads. When she was 27, at an annual check up, the dr told her she had something on her thyroid, and she can feel she didn’t feel her best. The doctor wanted to do a biopsy on her thyroid and right away Marisa decided to see what she could do on her own before going down that path.
She hired a health coach and overnight she stopped drinking alcohol (not 100% sober, she will have a spirit on occasion, celebrating or in the mood), became vegan, stopped going out to eat (this was occasional too) and started making superfood smoothies everyday and eating all organic (these days organic is not as good as it used to be). On this journey of health and well being, she found Josh’s Organic Market. That was her favorite thing to do on Sundays. Go to the beach, breathe in salt air, and get her produce for the week. This produce was nothing like she’s every seen or felt before. Really beautiful and high vibration food!! She would get a juice from Frank every Sunday called the ‘Thank G-d’. It was the deepest green juice ever and she felt so alive, waking up every cell in her body! The market and juice bar closed down and still to this day, nothing compares to that experience and she’s so GRATEFUL she has had that opportunity for many years.
She started juicing her own juices everyday. It was fun yet, super time consuming.
In 2020, she had a beautiful baby and making juice and taking care of a new born was a big challenge for her. She really needed the juice to keep up with not sleeping much. So she tried a few delivery places and nothing was great or worth the expense. And then one day she had a light bulb moment of let me find Frank, the guy who ran the juice bar at Josh’s Market. With a little bit of research, she found him on IG and has been a client for the past 4 years. She truly appreciates Frank and his meticulous work and wants to share this with the community!!
