Mariam Sadawi

HINT Juice and Smoothie Bar Founder and CEO

Our story begins with a personal journey towards reclaiming health and optimizing nutrition, rooted in a battle with an autoimmune disease.

I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a condition that brought significant challenges to my daily life. Some surgeons even suggested removing my colon and living with a bag. I knew I didn't want that lifestyle and sought an alternative path to manage my condition and improve my health. Determined to find a better way, I started experimenting with natural remedies, focusing on the power of fresh juices. I began juicing beet shots and ginger shots, which I found to be incredibly beneficial. Over time, I worked on making these shots more delicious, transforming them into something I craved every day.

As I continued this journey, I became passionate about sharing these healthful concoctions with others. Fast forward to 2022, I entered a competition at UB through the Blackstone Launchpad known as the Colab. To my delight, I won the competition, securing the funding needed to turn my seed idea into a reality.

The Impact of HINT Juice

Detox Your Body

Juicing provides a powerful way to cleanse and detoxify your body. Fresh juices are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that help to flush out toxins and support your liver, which is your body's primary detox organ. By incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables into your juices, you can enhance your body's natural detoxification processes, leading to improved digestion, clearer skin, and increased energy levels.

Nutrient Intake

Juicing allows you to consume a concentrated dose of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that are essential for overall health. By incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables into your juices, you can easily meet and exceed your daily nutritional requirements, supporting immune function, energy levels, and overall vitality.

Energy Levels

Juices made from high-water-content fruits and vegetables like cucumber, watermelon, and celery help keep you hydrated. Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining bodily functions, energy levels, and overall health, making juicing an excellent way to support your hydration needs. Beyond just water, these juices also contain electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium, which are essential for maintaining fluid balance, muscle function, and nerve signaling.
