Meet Our Founder: Cassandra Troy

Little West was founded in 2013 by Cassandra Troy and her husband, Andrew Walker. Using the money they’d been saving for their wedding, Cassandra and Andrew decided to elope and open a cold pressed juice bar instead! And the rest is history.

About Cassandra

Originally hailing from Montreal, Canada, Cassandra Troy moved to Los Angeles in 2006. With a lifelong passion for health, wellness, and conscious eating, Cassandra was inspired by the California beaches and local farmers’ markets and transformed her passion into a juice company.

What started as a tiny, 200 square-foot juice shop called Clover Juice quickly became California’s premiere cold pressed juice company, partnering with hotel groups, the most respected grocery chains, tech companies, and some of the best coffee shops and restaurant brands in the country.

In 2018, Clover Juice rebranded as Little West and continued to expand. Yet Cassandra’s core values and vision for the company have never wavered. To this day, Little West remains dedicated to crafting the highest quality, best-tasting cold pressed juices on the market. Our company is also renowned for unparalleled service and partnerships with customers and distributors alike.

Behind the scenes, Cassandra is a devoted mother to her sons, West and Wolf. Since becoming a mom, her love for nutrition, fitness, and other healthy habits has only grown. Cassandra loves creating accessible recipes using real food, while inspiring others to lead a more balanced life by sharing a perspective that’s refreshingly authentic and grounded.

Cassandra’s Vision

Cassandra Troy’s mission is all about inspiring others to lead a healthier, happier life. She believes this starts with nutrition and changing our relationship to food. It’s not about restrictive diets or crazy fads, but finding a balanced approach that you can maintain for long-term wellness. For Cassandra, healthy meals should be made with real, whole ingredients that are easy to prepare – and delicious!

Cassandra also believes in helping the environment and making the world a better place. That’s why Little West has partnered with Ecodrive, a nonprofit that plants trees around the globe. Every time you order Little West online, Ecodrive plants one tree on your behalf. To date, you’ve helped us plant over 12,000 mangrove trees in Madagascar, which have created over 123 work days for local villagers and helped reduce our carbon footprint.

Personal Interests

When she isn’t helping us craft delicious cold pressed juice, Cassandra Troy can be found spending time with her family and friends. She loves trying new recipes and cooking with her sons, spending time in nature, gardening, taking fitness classes, and learning about all things health and wellness.
