Spring is here, and spring cleaning isn’t the only way health-conscious consumers celebrate the season. Spring is an excellent time to embrace healthier habits or get back on track after the cooler winter months. Detox juices have become a popular choice for those seeking to boost their energy, improve digestion, and reset their health.
Let’s explore how to adjust your restaurant, café, or juice bar menu to capitalize on spring cleansing.
Detox juice recipes double as functional foods. The recipes are formulated with fruit, vegetables, and add-ins that support goal-specific wellness objectives. Unlike your core juice menu, wellness is more important than flavor. This isn’t to say that cleanse recipes can’t be delicious, but function is the consumer’s primary driver. So much so that some expect cleansing juice to be bitter or intense, but that doesn’t have to be your approach.
There are 2 primary objectives of detox diets. The first is to give digestion a rest, the second is to boost antioxidant intake.
Many juice and food cleanses consist of easy-to-digest foods and beverages. Our bodies invest 6 to 8 hours digesting the last meal and a total of 36 hours for a meal to move all the way through the digestive tract. This requires a lot of energy. Providing the body with a break can improve digestion and allow the body to invest energy optimizing other aspects of wellbeing. Health-conscious consumers will tailor their menu to their personal preference and wellness objectives.
This might include:
Other liquids may include smoothies, bone broth, soup, and infused waters.
All fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants that help your body purge free radicals. However, some contain plant compounds that support detoxing specific organs. Even with a clean diet, exposure to toxins is inevitable. Not to mention, winter is a time of year many indulge in sweets and comfort foods. Summer and swimsuit season are around the corner, making now the perfect time to cleanse any build up.
Minimal weight loss may occur during a 3-to-5-day detox. Most drink detox juices to kickstart their healthy new diet. Or to kickstart a sugar cleanse. Fruits and veggies contain sugar, but the sugars we crave are processed sugars. The first 72 hours of going processed-sugar-free are the hardest. Juice can ease these cravings by providing a sweet but healthy alternative.
Below are the most popular ingredients for detoxing. Use them to create custom recipes, but don’t feel you need to limit yourself to the ingredients below.

Ensure your wall-mounted menu, printed menu, online menu, and detox marketing materials have an asterisk associated with a legal disclaimer. This should advise consumers to consult a physician before detoxing or cleansing and clarify that juice is not a cure or substitute for healthcare. What this disclaimer must entail varies by region.
The 80/20 rule is the concept of creating juice recipes with no less than 80% vegetables and 20% fruits. This keeps sugar low. You may have exceptions to this rule in your core juice menu, but your cleanse menu should stick to 80/20. Some recipes may be 100% vegetables.
Health-conscious consumers expect a chemical-free detox. Even if your core juice menu isn’t 100% organic, your detox menu should be. This alone can be the difference between choosing your cleanse over a competitor.
Some customers are only looking for as-needed functional juices or only want to replace one meal a day with juice. Even one juice a day as a meal replacement gives the digestive system a break.
Multi-day cleanses are a top choice. To personalize the cleanse, offer protein powder and functional add-ins. Add-ins are an easy upsell to this already high profit-margin menu item. If not an add-in, offer these upsells as a shot on the side.
This might include:
Cold pressing juice produces minimal heat, which retains nutrients, flavor, and digestive enzymes. It also whips less air into the juice, so there’s zero foam and minimal separation. Be mindful that add-ins may create foam or separation.
The Zumex cold press supports your high-volume juicing needs, delivering fresh, nutritious, and premium beverages.
If you offer a multi-day cleanse, your consumers will purchase 1 to 3 days of juice at a time. This makes glass bottles a top choice because they’re easy to transport. Maybe sell an insulated carrying case as an upsell.
