Sip into the New Year - Creative juice blends for a fresh start.
The New Year is here, and what better way to jumpstart your goals than with some seriously sippable juice blends? Whether you’re chasing a post-holiday detox, a mid-morning pick-me-up, or just something delicious to jazz up your hydration game, we’ve got you covered. These four recipes are packed with flavour and loaded with all the good stuff to keep you feeling fresh, focused, and ready to crush 2024. So grab your juicer (or blender!) and let’s get sipping!
Pick Me Up is the ultimate burst of sunshine in a glass. Think sweet pineapple, tangy pomegranate, earthy beetroot, zesty lime, and a sprinkle of fresh coriander for that herby twist. It’s energizing, vibrant, and perfect for tackling those January mornings. If green juices are your thing, you’ll love the Green Machine. This powerhouse blend of celery, kale, ginger, green apple, pear, lemon, spinach, and cucumber is like a garden party for your taste buds. It’s refreshing, slightly tangy, and a great way to sneak in extra greens without even trying.
For a little immunity boost, say hello to Immunity Booster — a zesty orange, carrot, ginger, turmeric, lemon, and a touch of chilli concoction that will fire up your system in the best way. It’s got the perfect balance of sweetness and spice to keep colds at bay. And if you’re in the mood for something a little fancy, Like A Cocktail is your go-to. Pineapple, coconut milk, coconut water, lime, dried chilli flakes, and a pinch of salt make this creamy, tropical delight feel like a beach escape in a glass — no umbrella required.
So, what are you waiting for? Cheers to a flavourful, feel-good New Year!
Pick Me up
Ingredients :
Cooking notes:
- 1/2 pineapple
- 3 beetroot
- 1 bunch coriander (10-20g)
- 2 limes
- 1 pomegranate
Method
- Chop pineapple, beetroot and coriander (including roots and stems) into pieces to fit through the chute of your juicer. Use a small knife or vegetable peeler to peel limes. Halve limes.
- Add pineapple, beetroot, coriander and lime to a juicer to extract juice.
- Roll pomegranate on a bench to release the seeds. Cut in half horizontally. Hold the cut half over a bowl and tap the seeds out.
- Divide pomegranate seeds among glasses, add juice and serve with ice if desired.
- If you refrigerate your ingredients, they will be cold and you can skip the ice.
- If you have cooked beetroots, you can make this juice in a blender instead of a juicer. Chop ingredients into smaller pieces then blend on high until all ingredients are processed.
- Another way to release the pomegranate seeds is to break the fruit apart (once cut in half) in a bowl of water. Remove white flesh and drain.

Green Machine
Ingredients :
Cooking notes:
- 1 lemon
- 2 green apple
- 2 pears
- 4 celery sticks
- 2 Lebanese cucumber
- 20g ginger
- 1/2 bunch kale (approximately 6 stalks)
- 60g baby spinach
Method
- Peel the lemon using a small knife or vegetable peeler. Roughly chop the apple, pear, kale, celery, and cucumber.
- Add lemon, ginger, apple, pear, celery, and cucumber to a juicer to extract juice.
- Transfer juice to a blender along with kale (snap off the firm stalk at the end and discard) and spinach. Blend on high until all ingredients are processed.
- Divide among glasses to serve.
- We suggest processing the kale and spinach in a blender as a juicer will not extract much juice from these ingredients.
- Instead of using a juicer and a blender, you can add all ingredients to a blender to process.
