As the air turns crisp and leaves begin to fall, there’s something undeniably comforting about the warm, earthy, and nostalgic aroma of autumn spices. So much so, we deem this time of year as pumpkin spice season! But beyond their cozy flavor, many of the spices we associate with fall like cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger, and chili pepper, offer a surprising array of health benefits. And it doesn’t stop there: herbs like sage, rosemary, thyme, and powerhouse ingredients like curcumin bring anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and antioxidant-rich properties that help to support wellness through the colder months (1,2).  

At Clean Juice, we are big fans of heartwarming fall spices and flavors. That’s why we couldn’t miss the chance to create the coziest limited time fall items yet! Introducing the Apple Cider One, the Caramel Apple One, and the Apple Ginger Fire one – a juice, smoothie, and wellness shot trio here to spice up your fall!   

• Apple Cider One: Apple, Lemon, Pumpkin Spice 

• Caramel Apple One: Apple, Banana, Almond Milk, Greek Yogurt, Chia Seeds, Vanilla, Maple, Dates, Date Smear 

• Apple Ginger Fire One: Lemon, Ginger, Apple, Cinnamon, Cayenne 

Many may be surprised to find out that the pumpkin spice blend itself, is one of the most anti-inflammatory spice combinations out there. Spices such as cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger are undercover superheroes when it comes to their health benefits. When combined together, they become a team of superheroes! 

Cinnamon isn’t just a famous fall flavor… just ½ to 1 teaspoon is packed with powerful health benefits (1). This aromatic spice is rich in antioxidants and known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help protect the body from oxidative stress. Cinnamon may help to regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity, and has also been linked to improving heart health by lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels (1). Plus, its naturally sweet flavor makes it a great way to enhance smoothies, juices, or snacks without added sugar. Cinnamon can also be used in savory foods! It can be a delicious addition to roasted vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes, and added to soups, stews, sauces, and proteins such as spiced or braised meats. Whether sprinkled on apples or blended into your favorite fall drink, cinnamon brings both flavor and function to the table.  

Cloves are small but mighty when it comes to both flavor and health benefits. Known for their boldness and warmth, cloves are rich in antioxidants, particularly eugenol, a compound with powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Traditionally used in herbal remedies, cloves have been shown to help support immune health, aid digestion, and even help reduce oxidative stress in the body (1,2). Their intense, spicy-sweet flavor pairs beautifully with fall-inspired dishes and drinks. Just ¼ to ½ teaspoon of ground cloves per day can go a long way in bringing both wellness and warmth to your seasonal favorites. 

Nutmeg has a long history of medicinal use and health-supporting benefits. Rich in antioxidants, nutmeg can help combat inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, helping to support everything from brain health to digestion. It has been traditionally used to ease nausea, promote sleep, and even enhance mood, thanks to compounds like myristicin and safrole, which may have mild calming effects when consumed in small amounts (1,2). As with most potent spices, a little goes a long way. Nutmeg is best enjoyed in moderation, just ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon daily is needed to harness its benefits without overdoing it. With its grounding aroma and surprising versatility, nutmeg is a perfect seasonal addition to your fall wellness routine. 

Ginger is one of the most beloved and zesty spices, known for its powerful health benefits. For centuries in traditional medicine, ginger has been used for its potential to ease nausea, reduce inflammation, and support digestion. Its active compound, gingerol, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help to relieve joint pain, soothe sore muscles, and even support immune health. Whether steeped in tea, blended into smoothies, or added to savory dishes, ginger brings a spicy kick that wakes up the senses while nourishing the body. It’s especially comforting during the cooler months, offering warmth from the inside out. A little fresh or ground ginger, about 1 to 2 grams, each day can go a long way in supporting your overall wellness. 

While we may think more about curcumin and chili pepper in fall due to their front seat in some of our favorite fall menu items like soups, stews and, of course, chili, at Clean juice, we keep these spices on our menu all year long for their potent health benefits and versatility. Curcumin is the bright yellow compound found in turmeric celebrated for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It’s been extensively studied for its ability to help support joint health, reduce inflammation, and even boost brain function. However, curcumin is not as easily absorbed on its own, so it’s best enjoyed with a pinch of black pepper or some healthy fat to maximize its benefits (1,2). To experience the positive effects, try adding 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder to your meals or drinks (1,2). Chili peppers, on the other hand, bring heat and metabolism-boosting benefits thanks to the active compound capsaicin. Capsaicin may help increase circulation, reduce pain, and promote fat burning. Incorporating just a small amount, like a pinch of chili powder or a few slices of fresh chili, into your diet can provide these perks without overwhelming your taste buds (1,2). Both turmeric and chili pepper can be creatively blended into smoothies and juices, adding a spicy, warming kick while boosting your health. At Clean Juice, try adding turmeric powder and a dash of black pepper to tropical fruit smoothies for an anti-inflammatory boost, or blend cayenne pepper into citrus juices, veggie blends, or even hot chocolate at home for a metabolism lift and unique flavor twist.  

Rosemary, sage, and thyme are not on our Clean Juice menu, however, they are delicious herbs that come alive in the fall! These aromatic herbs not only elevate the flavor of meals but also pack impressive health benefits thanks to their rich profiles of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and essential oils (1,2). Rosemary is known for its ability to enhance memory and concentration, thanks to compounds like carnosic acid that protect brain cells from damage. It also supports digestion and has antimicrobial properties. A daily intake of about 1 to 2 teaspoons of fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary can offer these benefits without overwhelming the palate (1,2). Sage, celebrated for its calming effects, may help improve cognitive function and ease symptoms of anxiety and inflammation. It’s also been used traditionally for soothing sore throats and digestive issues. About 1 to 2 teaspoons of fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried daily is a good target to tap into its wellness effects (1,2). Thyme, with its high levels of thymol, is a powerful antimicrobial and immune booster, often used to fight respiratory infections and support overall immune health. Around 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme per day can help harness its benefits (1,2). These herbs can be enjoyed fresh in salads, teas, or smoothies, or dried and added to soups, stews, roasted veggies, and marinades. Incorporating them regularly not only adds a fragrant boost to your cooking but can contribute to daily intake of natural compounds that may help to promote longevity and vitality (1,2). 

Lastly, we can’t celebrate our new Fall menu at Clean Juice without giving credit where credit is due: Apples! Apples are the quintessential fall fruit. Crisp, refreshing, and packed with health benefits that make them a perfect addition to your seasonal diet. Rich in dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber called pectin, apples may help  support healthy digestion, help regulate blood sugar, and help promote heart health by lowering cholesterol levels (3). They’re also abundant in antioxidants like quercetin and vitamin C, which boost the immune system just as the cooler months approach (3). Fall is prime apple season, making it easier to enjoy fresh, locally harvested varieties at their peak flavor and nutrient content. Incorporating at least one medium apple into your daily fall routine, whether sliced for a snack, blended into smoothies, or baked with the warming spices above – connects you to the rhythm of the fall season while nourishing your body with natural goodness.  

As the fall settles in, there’s no better way to embrace the season than by savoring the warming spices and wholesome ingredients that are not only delicious, but support health and wellness. From cinnamon and clove to ginger and rosemary, these seasonal heroes bring powerful antioxidants, anti-inflammatory benefits, and comforting warmth to every sip (1,2). At Clean Juice, we’ve captured this essence perfectly in our limited-time Apple Cider One and Caramel Apple One, crafted to spice up your fall with every refreshing blend. So why not treat yourself to a delicious journey through autumn’s best flavors while nourishing your body? Celebrate the season with us, sip by sip, and let the magic of fall spices elevate your wellness routine.

We talk a lot about clean organic ingredients and fresh flavor, but this month, we’re diving deeper into the fruits and vegetables that we include in our juices. Spoiler alert: your gut is going to love it…

At Clean Juice, we recognize that gut health is one of the most talked about and highlighted health concerns, and for good reason… the digestive system holds more importance than just breaking down our food and converting it into energy. The state of the gut impacts numerous areas of health including immunity, energy, mood, skin, hormones, metabolism, inflammation, and even sleep (1).

Our gut is home to the microbiome, a community of trillions of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes living in the gut that help digest food, support our health, and keep the body in balance. Nutrition has a direct effect on the health of the microbiome. Dietary fiber in foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains, promote diversity of good microbes, support a strong gut lining, and may decrease inflammation (2, 3). Quality proteins can build and repair the gut lining and support the immune system due to the amino acids profiles (2). Healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, avocado, and olive oil containing omega 3 fatty acids may reduce inflammation, and boost absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), which are essential nutrients for gut and immune function (2). Prebiotics and probiotics found in foods such as apples, bananas, artichokes, oats, sauerkraut, yogurt, and kimchi can also enrich the health of the gut (3).

The gut is home to nearly 80% of our immune system, and is responsible for synthesizing 95% of serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of joy and emotional balance. Only 5% is synthesized in the brain (4,5). The stronger and healthier the gut, the more vital, happier, and resilient we become. Unfortunately, diets composed of western style standard American foods, such as those containing high amounts of saturated fats, low quality processed meats, sugar, and little fiber can negatively shift the composition of the gut microbiome, possibly causing unfavorable changes in health and immunity (1,2). Treating your gut with love isn’t just about digestion – it’s about supporting your mood, immunity, and overall sense of well-being from the inside out with the nutrients it needs to thrive.

When it comes to gut TLC, there are several nutrients and nutritional compounds that can be beneficial to your gut health and can aid in the repair such as zinc, vitamin A, probiotics, prebiotics, B vitamins, and anti-inflammatories (6,7).

At Clean Juice, we have our very own line of 100% organic cold-pressed bottled juices you can take with you on the go or use altogether as a formulated juice cleanse. We use organic raw fruits and vegetables in our bottled juices. As we mentioned above, fruits and vegetables naturally contain enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and soluble fiber. Certain fruits and vegetables like apples, ginger, carrots and greens, lemon and beets and spices such as turmeric contain natural prebiotics that offer anti-inflammatory properties (1,2,6,7). You may ask what is the difference between cold-pressed juices and other the run of the mill bottled juices – and the answer is, there is no heat used in the juicing processing. This means the nutrients stay intact for maximum nutrition! Juicing, in general, also gives your digestive system a break by allowing it to have an opportunity to detoxify any bacteria, pathogens, or toxins that might be hiding out in the gut to improve overall health and immunity and foster a healthy microbiome (8).

Now, let’s chat about the fruits, vegetables and other natural ingredients that you often find in juices (2,9,10):

• Pineapple – Rich in bromelain, a natural digestive enzyme that helps break down protein
• Oranges – High in vitamin C, which supports immune function and collagen production
• Carrots – Packed with beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant
• Turmeric – Contains curcumin, a natural anti-inflammatory compound
• Lemon – Rich in vitamin C and citric acid
• Cucumber – Hydrating and low in calories, supports skin health and detoxification
• Apples – High in fiber, polyphenols, and prebiotics
• Spinach – Contains iron and folate, which support red blood cell formation and energy metabolism
• Mint – Contains menthol, which may help soothe digestion and reduce nausea
• Celery – Rich in antioxidants and natural diuretics
• Fennel – Contains anethole, a compound that my ease bloating and aid digestion
• Ginger – Known for anti-inflammatory properties, may support digestive health
• Kiwi – High in vitamin C and fiber, may promote immune function and digestive regularity
• Beets – Rich in nitrates and may support liver functions
• Blue Spirulina – A blue-green algae rich in phycocyanin, supporting detox and antioxidant activity
• Peach – Contains vitamins A and C, supporting skin health and immune defense
• Lime – High in citric acid and antioxidants that support collagen synthesis and detoxification
• Habanero – Contains capsaicin, which may boost metabolism and reduce inflammation

Here at Clean Juice, we have seven cold-pressed juice blends[MB1] :

1. ORANGE (Orange, carrot, pineapple, lemon, turmeric)

• SWEET GREEN (Apples, cucumber, spinach, mint, lemon)

• GREEN (Cucumber, celery, fennel, spinach, ginger, lemon)

• KIWI GREEN (Filtered water, kiwi, pineapple, cucumber, orange, ginger)

• RED (Apple, pineapple, beet, carrot, lemon)

• BLUE (Lemon, pineapple, agave, blue spirulina)

• SPICY PEACH (Peach, apple, orange, lime, habanero)

When we nourish the gut with the right ingredients – those rich in fiber, enzymes, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds – we can create the foundation for a thriving microbiome and better overall health. Our cold-pressed juices are crafted not just for flavor, but with purpose in mind. Each bottle offers a carefully balanced blend of organic deliciousness designed to show your gut the attention and love it deserves. These juices aren’t just refreshing; they’re a functional and easy way to support your body’s natural processes and feel your best from the inside out.

Here are a few more gut health tips!

1. Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep per night. Put down the phone and get to bed! Your gut and brain are deeply connected—poor sleep may negatively affect gut bacteria and increase inflammation, while good rest supports digestion and immunity (1, 11).
2. Learn To De-Stress: Chronic stress disrupts the gut-brain axis and can lead to an uncomfortable digestive issues. Try daily stress reducers like deep breathing, walking, yoga, or just a few quiet minutes without your phone (11).
3. Move Your Body: Exercise stimulates digestion and has been shown to increase gut microbiome diversity. Even light daily movement, like walking after meals, can help keep things moving and reduce bloating (11).
4. Slow Down & Chew Thoroughly: Digestion starts in the mouth! Chewing well breaks down food mechanically and signals the body to release our natural digestive enzymes. Eating slowly also helps prevent overeating and reduces bloating by giving your gut time to do its job (11).
5. Diversify Your Diet: A variety of whole foods creates a variety of beneficial gut bacteria. Try rotating your fruits, veggies, grains, and legumes weekly to feed different strains of microbes and build a more resilient microbiome, and limit processed foods as much as possible (1, 2, 11).

At Clean Juice, we believe gut health shouldn’t be complicated. It should be clean, accessible, and delicious! Whether you’re incorporating one juice into your daily routine or choosing a full cleanse to reset and rebalance, your gut will thank you for it. With every sip, you’re feeding your body live enzymes, natural prebiotics, and anti-inflammatory nutrients while simultaneously giving your body a break to repair! That can make a real impact on your digestion, mood, and energy. Because when your gut feels good, you do too, and that’s something worth raising a bottle to!

Summer has arrived! You know what that means… days lounging on the beach or by the pool, bowls of fresh fruit like juicy watermelon and ripe cherries, and soaking up the sun! 

Summer is the season for adventure, joy, vitality, and abundance. It invites us to step into the light, to laugh louder, live freer, and savor the world with all our senses. It’s a time for play, connection, and relaxation. The increased temperatures also make it a time to focus on our hydration! Hydrating in the summer isn’t just about quenching thirst — it’s about supporting your energy, mood, and body’s ability to keep cool and thrive.  

Consider Clean Juice summer’s new best friend. Our fresh pressed and bottled organic juices are a delicious and nourishing way to stay hydrated after long days in the sun. There are several reasons to prioritize hydration during the summer season. Warmer temperatures and outdoor activities can lead our bodies to sweat more, increasing fluid loss. We must replenish those fluids, or we risk dehydration (1). As we sweat, we also lose electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, and calcium. These minerals are essential for regulating muscle function, energy, and hydration balance (2). Our bodies have to use more energy to stay cool and regulate our internal temperature by working a little extra hard to increase blood flow to the skin or sweat, increasing energy and water demands. The days are longer and we tend to be more active, traveling, exercising, playing, or moving, all of which will increase fluid needs (1). Dehydration can sneak up on us fast. Even mild dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, dizziness, or changes in mood, so it’s important to stay on top of it (2). 

Water is essential for maintaining hydration, supporting nearly every function in the human body such as regulating body temperature to lubricating joints and aiding in digestion (1). While drinking plain water is a foundational way to stay hydrated, our Clean Juice blends take hydration to the next level by incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables that not only have high water content but also provide essential nutrients that support fluid balance and overall wellness (3). 

The amount of fluid we should consume each day varies depending on age, body size, and health needs. The National Academy of Medicine recommends around 11 cups (88 ounces) per day for women and 15 cups (120 ounces) per day for men (4). Another good rule of thumb is to aim for half your body weight in fluid ounces. That may seem overwhelming for some that struggle to drink water, but remember — everything you drink including water, coffee, tea, fresh pressed juices, and milk count towards the goal. Additionally, consuming more hydrating fruits and vegetables in any form can increase your fluid intake as well. For example, eating just two servings of fruits and three servings of vegetables each day might provide about 15 ounces of fluid – just one ounce shy of two full glasses of water! (4)  

Some hydrating fruits and vegetables are rich in electrolytes, such as potassium, and vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin A. Vitamin C, commonly found in citrus fruits and strawberries, acts as a powerful antioxidant that supports the immune system and skin health, while vitamin A contributes to cell repair, vision, and a healthy mucosal barrier, which helps the body retain moisture (3). These anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may also help reduce oxidative stress, which can further support hydration by protecting cells from damage and promoting more efficient cellular function (3). 

By blending these nutrient-rich, water-dense fruits and vegetables into our Clean Juice recipes, we create beverages that not only quench your thirst but also contain essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals helping you stay hydrated longer than with water alone. Whether you’re recovering from a workout, combating the summer heat, or just looking for a refreshing pick-me-up, our juices offer a delicious way to hydrate from the inside out. 

This summer, we crafted a juice for ultimate hydration! Tell your local Clean Juice you want to Create Your Own juice and add these ingredients: 

• Coconut water 

• Fresh pressed apple juice 

• Fresh pressed cucumber juice 

• Fresh pressed lemon juice  

Coconut water is naturally rich in electrolytes, especially potassium, and is highly hydrating. Cucumber is a high-water content vegetable with a percentage of being 95% water (4). Apple adds mild hydration and natural sugars and minerals and lemon offers a refreshing touch with a bit of vitamin C (3,4). This hydration hack is excellent for post-workout recovery, hot summer weather, and general hydration. 

So how do our other juices stack up on the hydration scale? Well, we ranked them just for you! 

1. The Immunity One: orange, carrot, pineapple, turmeric, lemon 6/10 

2. The Wake-up One: orange, lemon, ginger 7/10 

3. The Detoxifying One: beet, cucumber, apple, celery, ginger 8/10 

4. The Energy One: orange, carrot, beet, apple, celery, ginger 7/10 

5. The Protection One: spinach, pineapple, cucumber 8/10 

6. The Glow One: spinach, kale, apple, cucumber 7.5/10 

7. The Hardcore One: celery, cucumber, spinach, kale, lemon 9/10 

8. The Celery One: celery, lemon 9/10 

9. The Hydrating One (use our Create Your Own option): 10/10 

In addition to getting your juice fix with us at Clean Juice, there are a few other easy ways to stay hydrated this summer. Try carrying a thirty-two ounce refillable water bottle with you wherever you go! This can help you remember to drink, and drink more! If you don’t love the taste of water, spruce it up with fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables. For example, try adding a few slices of lemon and two strawberries to your water bottle, or a few mint leaves and cucumber slices. You can also consider other hydrating beverages like herbal tea, coconut water, and adding a pure electrolyte supplement to your water once a day (P.S. we have electrolytes at Clean Juice too!) A few other tips are to increase your fruit and vegetable intake, and set a reminder or alarm on your phone for extra accountability to prompt drinking.  

Celebrating summer at Clean Juice doesn’t stop with hydration, we also have two NEW summer drinks for you to sip and enjoy. Introducing the Ocean Waves and Pineapple Breeze! The Pperfect blends that taste like breezy summer days and golden sunsets in a cup. Available June 18 for a limited time. Cheers to a joyful and nourishing summer!

Today, let’s take a moment to honor our beautiful planet and celebrate all the incredible gifts it offers us. From the air we breathe to the water we drink, and of course, the food that nourishes our bodies, Earth provides us with everything we need to thrive. Whether it’s the vibrant fruits and vegetables that grow from the soil, the seeds that sprout in gardens, or the grains that stretch across fields, food is one of Earth’s greatest gifts.

Crisp and juicy fruits, leafy greens, hearty grains, crunchy nuts, and wholesome seeds from the Earth bless us with an abundance of nutrients that fuel our bodies. At Clean Juice, we take great pride in offering a menu that showcases the Earth’s natural bounty. The juices, smoothies, and cleanses are 100% USDA certified organic and packed with fruits, vegetables, and superfoods to bring the purest nourishment straight from the Earth to you.

But what makes these foods so powerful and nutritious? It all starts in the soil! Soil is the foundation of life (1). As plants grow, they absorb nutrients from the soil, storing them in their tissues. When we consume these plants, we’re benefiting from those very vitamins and minerals. The same goes for animals, too — whether it’s grass-fed cattle or pasture-raised poultry, the nutrients they consume from plants and the soil passes into their bodies, which we then reap the benefits of when we eat animal products (1).

By choosing organic, we’re not only nourishing our bodies with more nutrient-rich foods, but we’re also supporting farming practices that protect the soil, the environment, and the future of our planet (1,2). Organic farming helps keep our soil healthy and free from harmful chemicals, ensuring that we’re caring for both our bodies and the Earth (1).

Cleansing with organic ingredients is a beautiful way to show your body the love and care it deserves, while also supporting a sustainable future for the planet. Each one of our cleanse packages is formulated using our certified organic bottled juices.

• Orange: Orange, carrot, pineapple, lemon, turmeric
• Sweet Green: Apples, cucumber, spinach, mint, and lemon
• Green: Cucumber, celery, fennel, spinach, ginger, lemon
• Blue: Lemon, pineapple, agave, blue spirulina
• Red: Apple, pineapple, beet, carrot, lemon
• Spicy Peach: Peach, apple, orange, lime, habanero

The nutrients in pressed fruit and vegetable juice have different properties and compounds that may boost immunity, reduce inflammation, promote detoxification and lymph flow, provide hydration, increase antioxidant activity, and nourish and energize the body (3).

Cleansing may help detoxify the body by flushing out toxins and impurities, giving your digestive system a much-needed reset, improving energy levels, and helping you feel more vibrant and focused throughout the day (4). Regular cleansing can also enhance your skin health, promoting a clearer complexion by removing built-up waste (4). Additionally, it supports overall wellness by boosting the immune system and promoting better nutrient absorption (4). It’s an excellent way to refresh your body and routine when things start to feel stagnant. Of course, we recommend that you consult a doctor or healthcare professional like a dietician before cleansing if you are concerned about how your body may react to forgoing food. All cleanses are available in stores or online.

For beginners we have our Juice Til’ Dinner. The goal is to juice all day and then finish off the night with a light healthy dinner. You can utilize this cleanse as a reset after a day of too much sugar, fried foods, or alcohol from the weekend or a celebration. This cleanse package is a great starting point for those who have never cleansed, or are interested but a bit skeptical. Your cleansing adventure awaits!

The Energy Pack has been crafted to focus on promoting energy via the nutrient density of fruits and vegetables. The detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant benefits of the ingredients found in these juices may help rejuvenate the cells and body. This is an all-day cleanse and is great for anyone that has been feeling sluggish, slow, or worn down, such as a busy mom craving some self-care or a stressed professional in need of a boost.

Our Original Cleanse has a little bit of everything that you would expect from a juice cleanse. Designed to rest and reset the body, this package is ideal for cleansing your mind, body, and spirit. This is the opportunity to combine physical healing with mindfulness and nourishing yourself.

The Immunity is all about, you guessed it, your immune system. Packed with citrus for vitamin C and leafy greens for beta carotene, these 6 cold-pressed juices are designed to help your body stay strong.

Our Anti-Inflammatory cleanse is packed with powerful anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric as well as fruits and vegetables to help your body decrease inflammation that is often caused by heavily processed foods. Juice cleanses allow the body an opportunity to do a lot of autophagy, which is the process in which the body eliminates the toxic and dead cells to improve health (6).

The Super Greens cleansemay flush the body with hydration but also fill it with the nutrients you find in leafy green veggies like vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, B vitamins, iron, and calcium. This is a cleanse you would do if you wanted to flood your body with the key ingredients found in these green vegetables! It’s time to nourish yourself by taking your internal body to the cleansing spa to reset and renew.

We make our cleanses with natural and organic ingredients because we hold ourselves to a high standard. Natural and organic foods are packed with higher levels of essential nutrients, offering more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to their conventional counterparts (2). They’re grown without harmful chemicals or pesticides, making them safer for both our bodies and the environment. Nutrition is at the foundation of health. You are what you eat, but more importantly, you are what you absorb. Your body can only work with the nutrients it can actually digest and utilize, so the quality of your food and the way it’s processed by your body are crucial factors in maintaining optimal health (3). Prioritizing your health is not just about fueling the body, but it is an act of self-love and self-respect, and nutrition is the best and arguably, the most important place to start as it lays the groundwork for better energy, improved mental clarity, and a stronger immune system, allowing you to fully enjoy life, AND support the planet!

So today, as we celebrate National Earth Day, remember that choosing organic isn’t just a decision for your health — it’s a way to give back to the Earth that sustains us. Let’s continue to honor the Earth and the life it sustains, one nourishing, organic bite, or sip, at a time. 💚

Here are a few more ideas on how to celebrate Earth Day with Clean Juice!

1. Grab a smoothie and head out on a walk or hike in nature
2. Cleanse for the day and finish the evening by hosting an eco-friendly dinner party serving locally-sourced, organic foods
3. Grab a juice with your friends and join a community clean up!
4. Plant a garden or tree in your yard and celebrate your hard work by refueling at Clean Juice

Cheers to your health and our incredible home, Earth!
