From an Old-Port kitchen to a national grocery shelf
In the fall of 2013, Geneviève Brousseau-Provencher and Raphaël Hubert were juicing in their Old-Port Montreal apartment kitchen, trying to squeeze more vegetables into busy work weeks. Geneviève was running e-commerce planning at Frank And Oak; Raphaël was a co-founder at Oblique FX, a Montreal visual effects studio working on feature film and commercial work. The original ask was small: a daily green-juice habit. The thing they built is now one of Canada's most consistently listed independent cold-pressed juice brands.
Twelve years later, Dose Juice is a Quebec-based wellness brand with its own production facility, a national retailer list that spans Costco, Walmart, Metro, Whole Foods Market Canada, Goodness Me!, IGA, Food Basics, Super C, Avril, Tau, Rachelle-Berry, and Voisin, plus a Toronto and Ontario retail push profiled in Curiocity Toronto. The brand has held its certified-organic position the entire time and explicitly markets feminism as a foundational company value, written into the hiring approach and the employee manual.
“This Canadian female-owned cold-pressed juice is finally available in Toronto.”
The retail footprint is the part that gets undersold in most beverage-trade coverage. Per the brand's own retailer page and live Instacart Canada listings, Dose moves cold-chain juice across Quebec and Ontario, plus DTC nationally with 48 to 72-hour ship windows. The Instacart side matters: a quick search on Instacart Canada surfaces roughly eighteen Dose Juice SKUs and a separate nine-SKU set of Dose shots in the juice-shots category, available for same-day delivery through partner retailers including Costco Canada and IGA. For an independent organic brand that bottles in 60 mL and 300 mL formats, that listing density is unusual.
How the line actually drinks
Yogi green juice (expert): the heavier, vegetable-forward green. Closer to a daily nutrition tool than a treat. If you've done cold-pressed green juice elsewhere, this is the format that will read familiar.
Cactus green juice (beginner): the lighter, fruit-forward pack designed for people new to the category. Same 300 mL format, more sweetness, less of the chlorophyll heaviness.
Shots, 60 mL: Ginger and Turmeric is the workhorse. There's an Extra Strength version for people who want more burn, an Energy shot with ginger, lime and guayusa, a Digestion shot with ginger and probiotics, and a Ginger and Honey shot that softens the profile.
Cleanses: 1, 3, and 5-day cleanse formats bundle juices and shots into a daily protocol. Dose treats these as a structured product line rather than the brand's core identity, which is the right call: most volume sits in the everyday single-bottle SKUs and the shot multipacks.
How it compares to other Canadian cold-pressed brands
Cold-pressed juice in Canada is a small, regionally clustered category. Most independent brands run on a hyperlocal café or DTC-first model. Dose is one of the rare ones that has both held organic certification end-to-end and scaled across a national grocery footprint. Here's where it sits next to the closest comparables you might pick up off the cold case:

What we couldn't find
We searched Reddit on May 11, 2026 across r/montreal, r/toronto, r/canada, r/loblawsisoutofcontrol, and r/Frugal. The honest finding: there is no sustained Dose Juice thread on Reddit. The cold-pressed juice category lives mostly on Instagram, TikTok, and on retailer review pages rather than community forums. Dose's most active public surfaces are its Instagram (@dosejuice) and TikTok (@dosejuice), both founder-run. If a substantive Reddit thread surfaces later we'll embed it and update this post.

Questions this guide answers
- What is Dose Juice?
- Dose Juice is a certified-organic, cold-pressed juice brand founded in Montreal in 2013. The brand makes juices in 300 mL bottles, wellness shots in 60 mL bottles, smoothie packs, and multi-day juice cleanses, all pressed and bottled in Canada from raw, organic fruits and vegetables. Dose is owned by Dose Juice Inc. and operates out of Quebec.
- Where can I buy Dose Juice?
- In Canada, Dose Juice is carried by Costco, Walmart, Metro, Food Basics, Super C, IGA, Whole Foods Market, Goodness Me!, Avril, Tau, Rachelle-Berry, and Voisin, plus direct to consumer at dosejuice.com. The brand also lists across roughly 18 Dose products on Instacart Canada through Costco Canada, IGA, and other partner retailers, with a separate set of nine shot SKUs available through Instacart Shots.
- Who founded Dose Juice?
- Dose Juice was founded by Geneviève Brousseau-Provencher and Raphaël Hubert, a Montreal couple who started cold-pressing juice in their Old-Port apartment kitchen in the fall of 2013. Geneviève is co-founder and CEO and previously worked in e-commerce at Frank And Oak. Raphaël previously co-founded Oblique FX, a Montreal visual effects studio.
- Is Dose Juice on Instacart?
- Yes. As of May 2026 there are roughly eighteen Dose Juice SKUs listed across Instacart Canada, plus nine Dose shot SKUs in the juice-shots category. The Instacart listings flow through partner retailers including Costco Canada and IGA, which makes Dose one of the few independent Canadian cold-pressed brands available for same-day delivery on Instacart.
- What does Dose Juice taste like?
- The flagship green juices come in two formats: the Yogi pack, which is the heavier, more vegetable-forward expert blend, and the Cactus pack, which is the lighter, fruit-forward beginner blend. Both run in the 300 mL bottle. The shot line is small, intense 60 mL pours: Ginger and Turmeric, an Extra Strength version, an Energy shot with ginger, lime and guayusa, a Digestion shot with ginger and probiotics, and a Ginger and Honey shot.
- Is Dose Juice organic?
- Yes. All Dose Juice products are certified organic by Ecocert Canada, and the brand also carries USDA Organic, Canada Organic, and Kosher certifications. Cold-pressing means the juices are never heat-pasteurized or chemically treated, which preserves more of the nutrients but requires cold-chain handling from press to shelf.
- How much does Dose Juice cost?
- Pricing varies materially by retailer and pack format. Single-serve juice bottles, shot multipacks, and full multi-day cleanses are all sold direct on dosejuice.com, with retailer pricing visible on each Instacart listing. Check the live product pages linked below for the most current numbers.
- Is Dose Juice the same as a juice cleanse company?
- Dose Juice sells single juices and shots as everyday products, but it also runs structured multi-day cleanses (1-day, 3-day, and 5-day formats) for customers who want a guided reset. The cleanses bundle specific juices and shots together with a daily protocol, but the brand explicitly positions itself as an organic juice company first, not a detox program.
Bottom line
Dose Juice is a quietly textbook example of how an independent Canadian wellness brand can hold an organic certification and still scale into national grocery without losing its identity. Twelve years in, a national retailer list, a credible Instacart Canada presence, and a founder team that runs the brand's social channels directly. The cold-pressed juice category is still small in Canada and still cold-chain expensive, so growth comes one retailer at a time. If you've never tried it, the Ginger & Turmeric 12-pack of shots is the easiest entry point.
