It would be wonderful if losing weight was as simple as sipping on some fruit juice, but that’s not the case.

Successful weight loss, and keeping that weight off in the long term, usually requires a holistic approach involving a number of factors.

It is true that you can use certain juices as a quick and convenient way to squeeze in some healthy nutrients, which may aid weight loss as part of a healthy diet, and some stand out from the rest.

Healthline has picked eight of the best juices to help with weight loss, but we’ll kick things off with beet juice:

Athletes often consume beet juice when they’re looking to boost their performance. That’s because this juice contains beneficial compounds like dietary nitrates.

Dietary nitrates can help increase muscle efficiency and endurance, as well as reduce blood pressure levels by dilating your blood vessels…

Beetroot juice is low in calories and rich in nutrients and dietary nitrates, which can enhance sports performance through blood vessel dilation.

Do I want to drink beet juice on its own? Not for me, thanks, but I will gladly smash a Sir Fruit Purple Smoothie to the face.

Beetroot, with a healthy dash of raspberry, strawberry, yoghurt, and chia seeds thrown into the mix:

There’s also a cold-pressed juice with beetroot, apple, raspberry, carrot, and ginger, if you’re not in the mood for a smoothie.

Healthline also talks up lemon-ginger green juice as a great weight-loss aid:

Some studies in humans and animals also show that ginger could help boost metabolism, reduce appetite, and promote weight loss.

Meanwhile, greens like spinach or kale — when blended rather than juiced — can bump up your intake of fiber to keep you feeling full between meals.

Hey, look what I found:

Kale apple juice is also listed as a great tool, as kale is high in fibre and can support healthy blood sugar levels, and apples are also very nutritious and may be associated with increased weight loss and improved diet quality.

Carrots will not help you see better in the dark (it’s a bollocks story), but carrot juice can work wonders:

Carrot juice is a nutrient-dense beverage, packing plenty of vitamin A and other healthy carotenoids into each serving…

Interestingly, one 8-week study including 28 men with obesity found that those who drank a beverage rich in carotenoids daily experienced significant reductions in belly fat.

You’ll find carrots in Sir Fruit smoothies, and there is also a cold-pressed juice dubbed the ‘Carrot King’, which is the perfect fusion of carrot, apple, orange, granadilla, and ginger.

Don’t expect the juice to do all of the hard work, but putting the right juice in the tank is at least one weight loss box ticked.

Sir Fruit also has a new subscription service, although you’re not locked into a contract for any length of time, with goodies delivered on the first Wednesday of each month.
