Let’s be honest; we all know fresh fruit and veggies are crucial to good health, but sometimes working out how to fit two serves of fruit and five servings of vegetables into our meals each day can be pretty tricky. Whether it’s due to a busy schedule, long commute, appeasing fussy eaters, or a lack of confidence in the kitchen, the result is often the same – fatigue, slow digestion and a diet in serious need of a boost. A ridiculously simple solution we have been loving lately is adding regular juice shots to our diets. 

So, what is a juice shot?

Unlike meal replacement drinks or cleanses, a juice shot is an ultra-concentrated blend of superfoods designed to be enjoyed in addition to a regular diet. Due to their size, juice shots are a quick, easy and tasty way to increase your fresh food intake, gain natural energy without a crash, and target health concerns from within. 

A superfood juice shot range that really stands out from the crowd is the new selection from Juiced Life, an Australian owned company focused on providing nutritious, balanced juices free from preservatives or flavour enhancers. By including only the most synergistic superfoods in each recipe, Juiced Life’s nutritionists have created six powerful wellness shots that naturally target and improve digestion, heart health, liver detox and immunity. 

Can juice shots really improve your health?

Absolutely! Even for people actually meeting the recommended daily dose of fruit and vegetables, Juiced Life’s juice shots are packed full of powerful ingredients that can be trickier to incorporate into regular meals. Listed below are some of Juiced Life’s best superfood ingredients as well as all of their benefits and which shots you can find them in:

  • Activated Charcoal

This fine porous powder can lower cholesterol levels, reduce flatulence and even whiten your teeth! It is odourless, tasteless, and the main ingredient in My Recovery, an alkalising, anti-bacterial juice shot perfect for days after overindulging. 

  • Apple Cider Vinegar

Thanks to its numerous vitamins, minerals and enzymes, apple cider vinegar has been proven to lower blood sugar, reduce fatigue, improve gut health, fight off infections, and cleanse the liver and lymph nodes. Apple cider vinegar has a strong, slightly sour taste and is present in My Fire, Juiced Life’s extra strong digestion boosting Juice Shot.

  • Ginger

A powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient that can aid digestion, reduce nausea, relieve joint pain and stiffness, lower blood sugar, improve brain function and help fight infection and sickness. Ginger is present in all Juice Shots.

  • Spinach

This low-calorie leafy green is packed with Vitamins A, E, K and C, as well as Iron, Calcium and Magnesium. This means firmer skin, hair and bones and reduced blood pressure. Thanks to its high fibre and water content, Spinach is also a great way to aid digestion and relieve constipation, so it’s a key ingredient in the My Digestive Juice Shot.

  • Turmeric 

This superstar spice has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine due to its ability to improve poor digestion, skin conditions and low mood. It has a mild, earthy taste and is present in the My Recovery and My Liver Detox Juice Shots.

How to make juice shots a part of your daily routine

Thanks to their small size, Juice shots can be packed into a handbag, pocket or lunch box and enjoyed at any point throughout the day. They can be sipped on and savoured or drunk all at once during a commute or short break.

Priced at $4.95, Juiced Life juice shots are affordable enough every day and a great substitute for a morning coffee. As they don’t contain preservatives, juice shots should be consumed within three days of purchasing to maintain potency, flavour and freshness. Juiced Life has stores in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney and to make things extra easy for us; they also offer delivery within these areas.
