The Montreal couple turning an Old-Port kitchen into Canada's most-listed independent cold-pressed juice brand

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:

Categories, formats, and certifications reflect publicly listed information on each brand's site as of May 2026. Pricing intentionally omitted because it varies materially by retailer. See the live product links below.

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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
