The Rising Trend of Healthy Juices

As the wellness movement continues to gain momentum, consumers are increasingly seeking out nutrient-dense beverages that support immune function, energy, and overall health. Healthy juices have emerged as a popular choice, driving significant growth in the market. With their rich concentration of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, juices have become a staple in many health-conscious individuals' daily routines.

Are you curious how the trend is expected to grow and how you can capitalize on juices in your establishment? Read on for all the details.

The Growth of Juice Trends in Recent Years

According to Grand View Research, the global juice market hit $132.62 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow annually by 6.3 percent through 2030. The main driving force behind this market expansion is consumers' increasing awareness surrounding the benefits of healthy juice and a more convenient (and delicious) way to consume the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. Among the top juice types customers seek are cold-pressed juices, functional beverages, and juices infused with superfoods.

Cold-Pressed Juices

Cold-pressed juices are nutrient-dense, flavorful, and packed with minerals and enzymes. Fruits and vegetables are compressed using a powerful, heavy press that allows for maximum juice without having to use any heat, which can alter nutrition profiles. The health benefits range from boosting energy and immunity to supporting digestive health and reducing inflammation, and customers are drinking it up! In fact, the market is predicted to expandto a $2.28 billion market share by 2032.

Functional Beverages 

Another emerging health trend is incorporating ingredients to boost mental health and support the gut-brain axis. Functional juices are fortified with adaptogens, probiotics, and spices. Consumers reach for these beverages to target specific health concerns. Some popular juice add-ins are:

• Lion's mane mushrooms for improving cognition and lowering stress. 
• Turmeric for fighting inflammation.
• Pressed sauerkraut for digestive health.

Superfood-Infused Juices 

Superfoods are packed with antioxidant properties, high Omega-3 content, and phytochemicals. They are known to have far-reaching health benefits, including heart support, reduced cholesterol, and cancer prevention. It’s no wonder that the superfood market is anticipated to grow 5.8 percent by 2027.

Over 80 percent of Americansaren’t getting proper doses of fruits and vegetables, so healthy juices feature superfoods in one easy way for consumers to up their veggie intake and get more health benefits. 

Bringing Juice Trends to Your Customers

If you want to help expand your beverage program and give customers what they are craving, there are plenty of ways to bring juices into your restaurant and cafe. Stock up on the following ingredients at your next bulk supply store trip and get juicing.

• Digestive-boosting fruits and vegetables, including pineapple, apple, ginger, lemon, beets, and citrus.
• Immunity-enhancing spices and herbs such as cinnamon, cumin, chile, and pomegranate.
• Frozen superfoods like blueberries, kale, and beets.

If you don’t have the option to juice all your ingredients, you’ll find some low-sugar, fresh-pressed juices bottled and ready to go!
