The Juice Awards

You may have already fallen in love with your favourite flavours, or you might be working your way through our mouthwatering menu. You may be using our juices to supplement a busy lifestyle, or perhaps they're helping you along your holistic healing journey. Whatever kind of cold-pressed connoisseur you are, take a look at our suggestions for which juice best complements which activity.

Drumroll please... we're calling it The Juice Awards.

 

Best Juice to Drink First Thing in the Morning

You've just woken up and want to set your body straight, feel energised, hydrate, and detoxify your system. Our winner for this is:

Celery Juice 

Drinking celery juice first thing on an empty stomach can flush out toxins. Polysaccharides found in celery juice can help improve digestion and stomach lining health. Celery juice also has a high water content, which can help with hydration and digestion. It can also keep your cholesterol levels in check, energise you, and balance your hormones, which are all first-thing-in-the-morning essentials, if you ask us. 

 

 

Best Juice for Focus 

You've sat down at your desk and you're about to start working on that project you've been thinking about for months. Or you're stuck on your phone calendar trying to organise your social plans, daily tasks and life in general. If there's one thing you need right now, it's focus. And if there's one juice that can help with that, we'd have to say it's...

Burleigh Green or Daily Green

 

That's right, it's a tie between our two greens! Both of these flavours contain leafy greens, which are excellent for concentration and supporting the brain. Leafy greens like spinach (found in Burleigh and Daily Green) contain antioxidants that provide fatty acids to strengthen and stimulate the brain. They also contain folate, which helps produce neurotransmitters in the brain. Vitamin K, lutein, and beta carotene are also found in kale (Burleigh Green), spinach (Burleigh and Daily Green), and research suggests that they may help slow cognitive decline. B vitamins, vitamin E, and L-tyrosine are found in spinach and can help improve memory and mental focus. Furthermore, the element of mint in both beverages can help with fighting anxiety, so you can focus in a calm and clear manner. 

Whether you pick Burleigh Green or Daily Green is down to your taste and preference, with Daily Green being our sweeter, fruitier flavour, and Burleigh Green being our earthy, alkalising, fruit-free flavour. 

 

 

 

 

Best Juice for Pre-Workout 

You've heard rumours that there's a juice that can enhance your athletic performance. Whether you want to run further, swim faster, cycle harder or lift heavier, this magic juice is going to deliver more oxygen to your muscles so you can surpass your limits. Surely not! you cry. But buckle up, because this is the best juice for your pre-workout...

Beet Chia

The reigning award for workout juice of the century goes to Beet Chia! As if we hadn't already told you enough, beet juice is proven to improve your cardiovascular fitness, strength and endurance by helping your blood vessels deliver more oxygen to your muscles, particularly when consumed over a long time period. Beet juice combined with apple, lemon and ginger is also super energising before your workout, without leaving you jittery like processed and heavily caffeinated pre-workout. So when you win your next fitness competition, make sure to big up coach beet in your acceptance speech.  

 

 

 

Best Juice for Lunch On-The-Go 

It's been a busy day, week, month, life. And yet again, someone, somwhere, needs your time from 12:00 - 3pm, leaving no time for lunch. What is up with that? Anyway, no need to fear; here's a winning juice to see you through the afternoon:

Health Nut 

A whole new spin on 'liquid lunch', Health Nut is our creamy Nut Mylk flavour packed full of almonds, purified water, Medjool dates, cinnamon and nutmeg to keep you energised, hydrated and full all day long. Almonds provide slow release energy as they are magnesium-rich. Magnesium helps convert food into energy, and is also important for muscle and bone health. Almonds also contain protein and fiber to increase satiety and resting energy expenditure. Medjool dates contain B vitamins like pantothenic acid, folate, and niacin, which help manage the metabolic processes that convert food into energy; natural sugars, which provide a quick burst of energy that can last all day; and iron, which can help with fatigue.

 

 

Best Juice for Post-Workout 

You've just finished your workout and you're feeling invigorated, oxygenated and pumped. So quick, get some fuel to those muscles to recover and enhance your pump. Quickly! Oh, sorry, we haven't announced our winning post-workout juice yet...

Muscle Mylk

Who would have thought it? Just as it says on the tin - or premium-grade glass bottle - Muscle Mylk contains almonds, purified water, banana, Medjool dates, maca powder, nutmeg, chia seeds and cinnamon to reduce swelling and inflammation, increase blood flow, and help those muscles recover. You'll find protein in almonds, as well as the vitamins and minerals to contribute to your bone health, reduce muscle soreness, and improve exercise recovery. Nutmeg’s ability to relieve pain and improve blood circulation, combined with inflammation-reducing cinnamon and chia seeds, further fortifies your bones and muscles for recovery. Muscle Mylk combines this with energy-boosting, mood-enhancing maca, Medjool dates and banana to make sure you still feel as happy after your workout as you did during it (or, possibly, happier). 

 

 

 

Best Juice for a Pick Me Up 

The afternoon slump has fallen upon you. There's still a few hours to go of the day, but all you want to do is take a nap. Instead, you reach for your Nap in a Bottle juice. You take one sip and instantly your senses are awakened. It's so zesty! It's so zingy! It's so citrusy! It could only be...

Sunrise 

Oh Sunrise, how we love you! The unmatched citrus-notes of Sunrise are guaranteed to give you a pick-me-up. With orange, ginger and turmeric acting as the juicy trinity of immune-boosting wholefoods, Sunrise is as good for you as it tastes. And that's pretty darn good. What's more, grapefruit detoxifies your liver and hydrates you, whilst pineapple contains manganese, B vitamins and vitamin C to increase your energy levels. Time to get the body back in business!

 

 

 

Best Juice for a Cosy Evening In 

Finally you're putting your feet up and switching Netflix on. Or you've just opened the page to your new favourite book. You have a warm cup of tea on your side table... but something's missing. Ah, that's it; you're a little peckish. But you want something healthy to complement your evening self-care routine. Suddenly you hear something knocking at your door. It's the Dr! It's... it's...

Dr Green

Dr Green, you're just what we needed! With coconut water, spinach, kale, Medjool dates, lemon, chia seeds and a creamy finish of avocado, you're satisfying, healthy and delicious. Coconut water and Medjool dates give you that sweet taste, whilst spinach and avocado are great to send you off to sleep. That's because spinach and avocado contains magnesium to help with relaxation, potassium to improve sleep efficiency and reduce nighttime wake-ups, and folate, which stimulates the production of neurotransmitters like melatonin and serotonin to promote sleep.

Runner up:

Mind Mylk

Mind Mylk is another excellent choice for bunking down before bed. Containing cashews, purified water, Medjool dates, banana, cacao powder, nutmeg and chia seeds, it contains lots of magnesium from cacao to relax your body. And we all know how indulgent and delicious some cacao is before bedtime. Bananas are great to have before bed as they make your body produce 5-HTP, the compound that makes serotonin and melatonin, which are mood and sleep-regulating neurotransmitters. Did we mention it's deliciouzzzzz.... oh, sorry, we're drifting off already. 

 

 

 

Best Juice to Ease Bloating

Tonight's the night. It's that party you've been looking forward to and you're wearing your best ensemble. But, somewhere along the line today, you had that delicious oat slice and now your tummy's resembling a hot air balloon. It happens to the best of us, and there's only one thing for it:

Black Magic 

Activated charcoal is a powerhouse for detoxifying your system, removing toxins quickly whilst also lowering cholesterol and aiding gas and bloating. Activated charcoal basically traps gas molecules in the digestive system. The charcoal isn't digested, so it stays in the digestive system until it's eliminated from the body. We'll leave the rest to your imagination. Combining lemon with alkaline water has an alkalising effect on your body to soothe inflammation, and lemon also helps with digestion. So, you'll find yourself completely deflated in no time (only physically, of course) and ready to party (if that's what you're even doing. We've made up a lot of life scenarios in this article, really).
