3. Beet-Boost Berry Elixir That Makes Your Skin and Immune System Glow

• Optional: 3–4 mint leaves

Instructions:

1. If using a juicer: juice beet, apple, lime, berries, and pomegranate arils.

Variation: Add 1/2-inch ginger for warmth or 1 tbsp chia seeds after juicing for fiber (let thicken 10 minutes). Seriously satisfying.

4. Carrot-Orange Sunshine With Turmeric Foam (Your Cold-Season Classic)

Bright, sweet, and sunshiney, this juice is pure comfort. Carrots bring beta-carotene (vitamin A support), oranges deliver vitamin C, and turmeric adds anti-inflammatory flair. It’s the one you’ll make on repeat.

5. Pear, Kale & Lime Green Shield That Doesn’t Taste “Too Green”

Green juice skeptics, this one’s for you. Pear softens kale’s assertiveness, lime brightens everything, and cucumber keeps it ultra-refreshing. You get vitamin C, vitamin K, and phytonutrients without a lawn-clipping vibe.

2. Stir well and taste—add a splash of water if you like it lighter.
3. Serve cold with ice for max refreshment.

Pro tip: Rotate your greens—try spinach or romaine if kale isn’t your thing. Add 1 tbsp lemon juice if you’re prepping ahead to help preserve color.

6. Spiced Cranberry-Orange Immune Blaster For When Guests Are Coming Over

Tart, festive, and stunningly crimson—this one’s a crowd-pleaser that moonlights as a mocktail. Cranberries offer antioxidants and support urinary health, while orange smooths the pucker and adds vitamin C. A hint of clove and star anise makes it taste like fall in stereo.

Instructions:

1. Juicer method: juice cranberries first, then oranges, apple, ginger, and lemon. Stir in clove.
2. Blender method: blend everything with water until smooth; strain for a clearer juice.
3. If using whole spices, warm the finished juice gently with the spices for 5 minutes, then remove.

Serve it: Pour over ice with an orange wheel. For a spritz, add sparkling water and a rosemary sprig. It’s holiday-party ready, minus the sugar crash.

7. Pineapple, Carrot & Echinacea Cooler For The “I Feel Something Coming On” Days

Juicing Tips To Make These Shine

• Wash produce well and peel citrus to avoid bitterness from pith.
• Balance flavors: if a juice is too tart, add apple or pear; too sweet, splash in lemon or lime.
• Drink fresh when possible. If storing, use airtight bottles and refrigerate up to 48 hours.
• Boost absorption: pair fat-soluble nutrients (like beta-carotene in carrots) with a small snack containing healthy fat.
• Want fiber? Blend instead of juicing, or stir in chia/flax after.

That’s your fall juice lineup—seven vibrant blends that deliver real-deal flavor and immune-friendly nutrients in every sip. Pick one to kick off your week, rotate them to keep things fun, and share a batch with a friend. Your future self (and your taste buds) will thank you.
