Spring is the perfect time to refresh your routine with vibrant, nourishing juices. As the days get longer and the weather warms up, fresh produce is at its best, packed with flavour and essential nutrients. Juicing is a great way to enjoy the season’s offerings, whether you’re after a morning boost, a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up, or a tasty way to get more fruit and veg into your day.
Using seasonal fruits and vegetables in your juices isn’t just about taste, it’s about getting the most out of your ingredients. When produce is harvested at the right time, it’s naturally sweeter, juicier, and full of goodness. Seasonal fruit and veg are also more affordable and have a lower environmental impact since they don’t need to be shipped from across the world. Plus, if you want to enjoy these flavours beyond spring, you can freeze ingredients like berries and greens to lock in their nutrients for later.
In the UK, spring brings a variety of fresh produce that’s perfect for spring juicing. Rhubarb is one of the first signs of the season, with its tart, tangy taste pairing beautifully with sweeter fruits like apples or strawberries. Speaking of strawberries, they come into season towards the end of spring, adding natural sweetness and antioxidants to your juices. Leafy greens like spinach and spring greens are packed with vitamins and blend well into green juices. Carrots, known for their earthy sweetness, and radishes, with their subtle peppery kick, are also great additions to fresh, homemade spring juices.
To make the most of spring’s flavours, here are some delicious seasonal juice recipes to try with your Kuvings juicer:
- Immunity-Boosting Juice – A bright, invigorating blend of carrots, oranges, and a touch of ginger to keep your immune system strong and give you an energising start to the day.

- Apple Ginger Celery Juice – Crisp apples, spicy ginger, and hydrating celery come together in this refreshing juice that’s great for digestion and overall well being.
- Grapefruit-ade – A zesty, refreshing blend of grapefruit and a touch of honey (or a natural sweetener of your choice) for a perfect morning pick-me-up.

If you want to enjoy the flavours of spring all year round, freezing is a great option. Berries, chopped rhubarb, and leafy greens can be frozen and used later, helping you reduce waste while keeping your juices fresh and full of nutrients. Freezing fruit at its peak locks in both flavour and goodness, so you can keep enjoying seasonal tastes long after spring has passed.
Spring is all about fresh starts, and what better way to embrace the season than with homemade, nutrient-packed juices? Using your Kuvings juicer, you can make the most of the freshest ingredients and enjoy simple, delicious ways to nourish your body every day. Heres to brighter days and brighter flavours ahead!
