You’ve been on an amazing journey and the important thing now is to look after your (and your little ones!) well-being.

Our Top Juices For New Moms
Your little bundle of joy has arrived and you want to know how to make sure you’re getting the best nutrition possible. Hydration is SO important when you’re a new mom and cold pressed juice will hydrate whilst also delivering plenty of essential vitamins.
Drinking fresh juice as a new mom is an excellent way to get all the nutrients you need. You might not be able to get full-on juice cleanse benefits at this time, but trust us, that doesn’t matter! Let’s face it, you’re already glowing.
When you’re a new mom, we recommend consuming juice as part of a balanced diet. Remember you need a healthy whole-food diet that brings a nourishing blend of fiber, protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, complex carbs, and Omega 3’s. Your body has gone through so many changes over the past year and breastfeeding puts even more demands on it. You need to get enough calories to care for yourself and your baby.
So once again - is a juice cleanse healthy at this time? Nope! But we recommend having 1-2 servings of juice per day to complement a balanced diet.
Here is a list of the juices we recommend drinking as a new mom:
Orange Juice
Good old orange juice is as important as a new mom as it usually is! It’s incredibly rich in vitamin C, which is thought to be essential for boosting your immune system at this time. Orange juice also contains lots of carotenoids, which may help soothe your skin when you need it most. A list of the best juices for new moms has to include the humble orange juice if you ask us!

Carrots are another great ingredient in juices when you’re a new mom. Our Sunrise juice combines carrots and oranges alongside a nurturing burst of ginger and turmeric. Carrots are a wonderful source of beta-carotene, which can look after your eyesight and your baby’s eyesight. After all, if you’re breastfeeding, your baby is getting plenty of those vitamins from you too.
Celery Juice
If you haven’t tried celery juice yet, you’re in for a surprising treat. Our celery juice combines fresh and crisp celery with tangy lemon and a dash of sea salt. When you’re a new mom, celery juice is perfect for looking after your blood pressure and your joints. We know as a new mom it can be hard to remember to stay hydrated. Celery has high water content so it’s a delicious way to make sure you always feel hydrated.

Yep, another green juice but this one is totally different. Our Gold’n Greens juice is packed full of sweet, ripe pineapple. Pineapple is not only bursting with vitamin C, but studies have proven it to be an anti-inflammatory that can also support healthy digestion. In fact, we consider pineapple to be an underrated superfood!
