🥤 3 September Juices to Try
These recipes are designed around September produce, with bright, refreshing flavors that work beautifully as summer starts transitioning into cooler fall days.
1. 🍎 September Apple Harvest Juice
Sweet • Crisp • Refreshing
This is September in a glass. Crisp apples meet juicy grapes, cucumber, and ginger for a refreshing juice that’s perfect for mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- 2 apples
- 1 cup red or Concord grapes
- ½ cucumber
- 1 small piece fresh ginger
- ½ lemon
Directions
Wash and prepare your produce. Feed the apples, grapes, cucumber, ginger, and lemon through your cold-press juicer.
Pour over ice and enjoy immediately.
JUTO Tip: Try a sweeter apple for a naturally sweeter juice or a tart variety for a brighter flavor.
🍇 2. Blackberry Peach September Juice
Fruity • Vibrant • Perfect for Late Summer
September still gives us some of the best late-summer fruits, including peaches and berries. This juice combines them with pear and cucumber for a smooth, refreshing seasonal blend.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches
- 1 pear
- ½ cup blackberries
- ½ cucumber
- ½ lemon
- Small piece of ginger
Directions
Wash all produce thoroughly. Remove peach pits and cut produce into pieces appropriate for your juicer.
Juice everything together, stir, pour over ice, and enjoy.
Optional: Add a few raspberries for an extra berry-forward flavor.
🥕 3. Carrot Apple Fall Transition Juice
Earthy • Bright • Naturally Sweet
As the weather begins to cool, this combination brings together some of the produce that signals the beginning of fall. Apples and carrots provide natural sweetness while cucumber and ginger keep the juice fresh and lively.
Ingredients
- 3 carrots
- 2 apples
- ½ cucumber
- ½ lemon
- 1 small piece fresh ginger
- 1 small beet (optional)
Directions
Wash and prepare all ingredients. If using a beet, start with a small amount since its flavor and color can be quite strong.
Juice everything together and serve chilled.
JUTO Tip: Add the ginger gradually until you find the perfect level of spice.
