Every October, pink shows up everywhere — from sneakers to snacks — all in the name of “awareness.” But not all pink products actually promote health. Pink-washing happens when companies market pink-themed items for Breast Cancer Awareness Month while selling products loaded with refined sugar, dyes, or other harmful ingredients — the very things linked to increased inflammation and disease risk.

At Cafe Botanica, we believe the best way to honor this month is by supporting true prevention — nourishing your body with real, clean ingredients that help you feel your best long-term.
That’s why this October, we’re donating a portion of proceeds from our pink favorites:
💗 Pretty in Pink Smoothie – antioxidant-rich glow support + hydration
💗 Barbee Bowl – glowy skin, balanced energy, real nourishment
💗 Post-Workout Smoothie – recovery support with clean protein & omega-3s
💗 Pink Dragon Cold-Press - detoxifying. minderal-rich hydration
All month long, sales from these items will help support LessCancer.org — a nonprofit dedicated to reducing preventable cancers through lifestyle education and community programs. Their mission is to teach people how healthy daily choices — like what we eat, how we move, and what we’re exposed to — can reduce cancer risk before it starts. 🌿 How to Join the Movement Choose real ingredients. Skip the pink-frosted cookies and reach for food that fuels you. Stay informed. Awareness matters most when it leads to change. Sip for a cause.
Stop by Cafe Botanica this month and make your pink purchase count. Together, we can move beyond performative pink and toward genuine prevention and impact. Because less cancer — and more health — starts with choices we make every day.
