Now the cooler weather has arrived while most people may be rugged up on the couch with a hot cuppa. You’re here thinking about doing a juice cleanse… go YOU! Juice cleansing in winter is a simple way to reset your body, boost your immune system, and give you that lil’ boost of energy despite the shorter days and colder weather. Some people like to think that drinking juice is ONLY for the warmer months but we are here to tell you why drinking juice is definitely NOT seasonal. 🍋
Why Juice Cleanse in Winter?
Boost Your Immunity: Winter is the time for nasty colds and flu to hang around, our juices packed are with the vitamins & antioxidants that you wouldn’t normally get through diet.
Elevate Your Mood: Shorter days and cooler weather can sometimes bring the winter blues. Juicing a rainbow of fresh, raw fruits and veggies can help boost your mood and energy levels to soothe the slump days.
Reset Your Body: After indulging in hearty winter meals, a juice cleanse can help reset your digestive system to help you feel lighter and brighter!
Tips for Your Winter Reset
Plenty of Seasonal Produce: Winter in Australia offers plenty of incredible produce perfect for creating deep, healing elixirs. We use seasonal produce like carrots, beets, spinach, and citrus fruits direct from local growers! 🥕🥬🍊
Add Warmth with Spices: We like to spice things up! We incorporate ginger, red chilli, turmeric & cacao into our juices. Heal yes to heat!
Stay Hydrated: Even in cooler weather, it’s important to stay hydrated. Drink water between your juices to help flush out toxins and keep your body hydrated. 💦
Listen to Your Body: If you feel too cold or fatigued, it’s okay to customise your juice cleanse (or freeze them). Just listen to your body as needed.
Making It Fun!
Cleanse with A Buddy: Invite your besties to join you for a juice cleanse, it’s always more fun doing it with someone else!

OUR FIVE HANDY LITTLE TIPS:
1. For the ultimate hug in a mug, warm our almond mylks up on the stove and enjoy.
2. Build your broth as needed. We’re talking seasonal veg, rice noodles and extra chilli if you can handle the heat! 🌶
3. Before sipping on a juice, let it sit out of the fridge 20 minutes to take the chill off.
4. Stay snug by layering up! Extra socks, gloves, scarves this winter to keep you toasty warm (check out your local op shop for some cool finds).
5. Cuddle into a heat bag for some extra warmth.
