What actually goes into our Ultimate Detox

Mrs. Samuel·19 May 2026· 4 min read

"Detox juice" usually means something with more marketing than ingredients. Ours has four:

  1. Cucumber — 96% water, electrolyte-rich, and the reason the bottle goes down so easy
  2. Apple — sweetens the cucumber without sugar, adds quercetin and soluble fibre
  3. Pineapple — bromelain (the enzyme that breaks down protein), vitamin C, and that signature tropical lift
  4. Ginger — a small fingertip's worth per bottle; anti-inflammatory and warming

Why no kale, spirulina, or charcoal?

Because Ultimate Detox should be something you actually want to drink. Charcoal black juice photographs beautifully and tastes like wet ash. Spirulina has a real fishy aftertaste at any meaningful dose. Kale needs a lot of sweetener to be palatable, and at that point you've cancelled most of the green-juice benefit.

Our position: a juice that's pleasant to drink twice a week beats a juice that's punishing to drink once.

When to drink it

  • First thing in the morning, before coffee
  • Mid-afternoon if you skipped lunch
  • Replace one snack a day for a week — that's the experiment we'd suggest

The honest part

A juice is not a detox. Your liver and kidneys do that, 24/7, for free. What good juice does is make it easier to eat more produce than you otherwise would. That's it. That's the whole pitch.
