Vegetable Juice

Vegetable juice blends combine the juice of multiple vegetables — often leafy greens, cucumber, celery, and carrot — into a single drink. They offer a convenient way to consume a variety of vegetables in liquid form.

Green vegetable juices have grown in popularity alongside broader interest in plant-based diets and cold-pressed juice bars. They tend to have an earthy, fresh flavour that some find an acquired taste, though many blends include apple or lemon to balance the green notes.

These juices are typically consumed as a drink on their own, often chilled, and are sometimes used as a base for smoothies. They are not a complete substitute for eating whole vegetables, as juicing removes most of the dietary fibre.

How it's made

Fresh vegetables are washed, trimmed, and fed through a juicing machine that separates the liquid from the pulp and fibre. Multiple vegetable juices are then blended together in specific ratios to achieve the desired flavour profile. The juice may be cold-pressed to minimise heat exposure, then pasteurised or high-pressure processed for food safety before being bottled and refrigerated.
