We Don’t Sell Fruit Juices at Roots. And Honestly, We Never Will

Yes, fruit juices are unhealthy—and we believe that too. That’s exactly why at Roots, we don’t sell juices. We only make smoothies. Because for us, the job isn’t to give you a sugar rush in a bottle—it’s to turn something people think is healthy (but isn’t) into a drink that truly supports your body.

Why Fruit Juices Get a Bad Reputation

Most fruit juices aren’t much better than soda. Here’s why:

• No fiber: Traditional juicing removes the pulp. What’s left is sugar water—yes, even if it’s “natural sugar.” Without fiber, your body absorbs it too fast, leading to blood sugar spikes and crashes.

• Too much fruit, no balance: Fruit-only juices overload you with fructose. Fruit isn’t the enemy, but without vegetables, protein, or fats, juice is incomplete fuel.

• Empty calories: A glass of fruit juice can pack as many calories as a small meal, but without the satiety or nutrition of real food.

• Short-lived energy: You get the sugar hit, then the slump. That’s why many people say fruit juice leaves them drained instead of energized.

What We Do Differently at Roots

We never wanted to sell fruit juices, because we don’t believe they’re truly healthy. Here’s how our approach flips the script:

1. We don’t make juice, we make smoothies.
   The pulp stays in, so the fiber stays in. That means slower sugar absorption, steady energy, and satiety that lasts.

2. We mix fruits with vegetables.
   You’ll never find just-fruit blends at Roots. By balancing fruits with vegetables, we lower sugar load, boost micronutrients, and make every drink feel like real food.

3. We add herbs and superfoods you normally can’t eat raw.
   Ingredients like black pepper, turmeric, spirulina, and moringa are powerful—but hard to consume on their own. Blended into our smoothies, they deliver their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-supporting benefits naturally.

4. We create synergy, not just flavor.
   Black pepper boosts the absorption of curcumin from turmeric. Vitamin C from fruit improves iron uptake from leafy greens. We design blends that help nutrients work harder together.

5. We keep it close to real food.
   Thick, filling, and nutrient-dense. Our smoothies aren’t drinks you gulp in seconds and forget. They’re closer to a mini-meal than to a sugar rush.

So, Are Juices Healthy?

Here’s the truth:

• Straight fruit juice? Unhealthy. Too much sugar, not enough balance.

• Vegetable juices? Much better, especially if the fiber is retained.

• What we make at Roots? Whole-food blends that keep the good (hydration, vitamins, minerals) while fixing the bad (sugar spikes, empty calories, lack of satiety).

That’s why we don’t call them juices—they’re not. They’re smoothies built to nourish, not trick your body.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
