NATIONAL GREEN JUICE DAY

The initial sparkle of the New Year may have settled, but National Green Juice Day on January 26th is the ultimate "refresh button" for our wellness goals. This day serves as a vibrant reminder to stick to those healthy resolutions by fueling our bodies with the concentrated power of leafy greens.

#NationalGreenJuiceDay & #GotMyGreens

There are several veggie-centric ways to celebrate and inspire health and wellness habits in the New Year. Unfortunately, by the final week of January, many find their resolve beginning to waver. National Green Juice Day is a day meant to help you combat that "end-of-the-month" slump. Whether it’s kale, spinach, celery, or cucumber, drinking green juice is a convenient way to flood your system with essential phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals. This is especially beneficial during the winter months when the weather may hinder the healthy routines we practice during warmer months.

A high-quality green juice, especially the cold-pressed variety, provides an immediate boost of hydration and energy without the heavy lifting of a full meal. It’s not just about a "diet"; it's about establishing sustainable habits that keep you feeling vibrant all year long.

Juicing Tips for Success

  • Cold-Pressed is Best: If possible, use a "masticating" juicer if you're making your green juice at home. This kind of juicer helps preserves more enzymes than high-speed centrifugal juicers.
  • The "Wash" First: Always wash your greens in cold water first! Winter months are hard on vegetables, especially if they have to travel far to get to the grocery store. A quick soak refreshes them quickly!
  • Drink it Fresh: Drink your green juice within 15–20 minutes before the light and air start breaking down those precious nutrients immediately.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL GREEN JUICE DAY

  1. Grab a bottle of cold-pressed green juice for a simple way to get more nutrients from green vegetables in your daily diet.
  2. Start off your morning by making your own green juice at home.
  3. Share photos on social media using #NationalGreenJuiceDay and #GotMyGreens.

NATIONAL GREEN JUICE DAY HISTORY

After finding that more than 50 percent of Americans break their New Year’s resolutions by the end of January*, Evolution Fresh founded National Green Juice Day in 2016 as a way to empower people to press ahead with their wellness resolutions by drinking a green juice.

The Registrar at National Day Calendar declared the day to be celebrated on the 26th of January, annually.
