If you’re looking for a refreshing, anti-inflammatory juice that makes you feel good from the inside out, this Morning Meditation juice recipe is your new go-to.
Inspired by the popular First Watch fresh juice blend, this homemade version combines fresh citrus, earthy beet, turmeric, and ginger with a touch of agave for sweetness.
It’s hydrating, immune-supporting, and surprisingly easy to prep at home—even if you’ve never touched your juicer before.
Why I Started Making My Own Morning Meditation Juice
I love the Morning Meditation juice from First Watch, but I didn’t love the price tag or the fact that I couldn’t customize it.
Once I realized I had all the ingredients at home (and two juicers collecting dust), I tested my own version—and I haven’t looked back.
This homemade Morning Meditation juice recipe delivers all the benefits of the restaurant version, with fresher ingredients, less sugar, and more control. Plus, you can prep it once and enjoy it all week.
It Actually Tastes Like a Treat
Let’s be honest: a lot of wellness drinks taste like punishment. This isn’t one of them.
What I love most about this juice is that it actually tastes good—like a reward, not a sacrifice.
The citrus makes it vibrant and refreshing, the beet adds just enough earthiness without overpowering, and the ginger + turmeric bring a gentle kick that warms rather than burns.
A little agave brings it all together without making it syrupy sweet.
It’s a juice that feels indulgent and energizing at the same time—my favorite combination.
Ingredients (Makes ~12 oz)
To recreate the Morning Meditation juice, you’ll need:
- 2 oranges, peeled
- ½ lemon, peeled
- 1″ piece of fresh turmeric (or ½ tsp ground turmeric)
- 1″ piece of fresh ginger
- ¼ raw beet, peeled (start small—it’s potent!)
- 1–2 teaspoons agave nectar, to taste
- Pinch of black pepper (optional, helps your body absorb curcumin in turmeric)
📝 Use organic produce if possible—especially for citrus and root veggies.
Instructions
- Prep: Wash and peel all your ingredients. Cut large items into smaller chunks so they feed easily through your juicer.
- Juice: Run everything through your juicer, starting with citrus and ending with the beet and roots.
- Sweeten: Stir in the agave and optional black pepper.
- Chill & Serve: Pour over ice or refrigerate for up to 48 hours. Shake before serving.
Pro Tips for the Best Morning Meditation Juice
- Start small with beet. It’s powerful and earthy—¼ of a beet goes a long way.
- Layer it beautifully. For the classic two-tone “sunrise” look, juice the citrus first and pour it into your glass. Juice the beet separately and slowly drizzle it on top.
- Too tart? Add another orange or a splash of pineapple juice to mellow it out.
- No juicer? You can blend it all in a high-speed blender and strain through a nut milk bag or fine sieve—it’s messier, but works.
Health Benefits of Morning Meditation Juice
This Morning Meditation juice recipe isn’t just pretty—it’s packed with functional ingredients that support your whole system:
🍊 Oranges + Lemon
- Rich in vitamin C, which supports immunity and collagen production
- Aids digestion and hydrates with natural electrolytes
- Helps balance skin tone and fight inflammation
🧡 Turmeric
- Contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound
- Supports joint health, gut function, and brain clarity
- Works best when paired with black pepper for absorption
💗 Beet
- A natural blood purifier that improves circulation
- High in nitrates, which can support heart health and exercise stamina
- Contains betalains, which fight oxidative stress
🌶 Ginger
- Boosts digestion and helps calm nausea or bloating
- Supports your immune system with antimicrobial properties
- Adds a warming, spicy kick without overpowering
🍯 Agave (or your sweetener of choice)
- Optional, but helps round out the flavors
- Use sparingly, especially if watching blood sugar
- Can substitute with honey, maple syrup, or monk fruit
Which Juicer Should I Use?
I own both a Juv cold press juicer and a Breville centrifugal juicer—and here’s how I think about it:
- Use the Juv if you want to maximize nutrients and get a smoother, more vibrant juice with less foam. It’s especially great for citrus, beets, and leafy greens. The slower press protects delicate compounds in ginger and turmeric.
- Use the Breville if you’re short on time and don’t mind a bit more froth or slightly faster oxidation. It’s great for harder produce like beets and carrots, but it won’t extract quite as much juice from citrus.
For this recipe, I recommend the Juv. The flavors are more balanced, and the slower extraction keeps everything fresh longer in the fridge
How I Use This Juice in My Routine
I like to prep this juice on Sunday or Monday and keep it in the fridge for 2–3 days in glass jars.
Prepping just one juice is doable, sustainable, and gives me a fallback when I need something nourishing but don’t want to cook or think.
The Morning Meditation juice has become a staple because it checks so many boxes: it’s easy, it tastes good, and it’s genuinely supportive to my body—especially around hormone shifts or sugar cravings.
It’s my:
- Mid-morning boost when I’m trying to avoid more caffeine
- Post-workout refreshment
- “Reset” drink when I’ve been off-track or eating too much sugar
- Part of my PMS support toolbox (thanks to beet and turmeric)
If you’re trying to build more structure into your wellness routine, this is one of the easiest habits to start.
You can rotate different blends each week based on what your body needs. This one’s perfect for an anti-inflammatory reset.
Morning Meditation Juice Variations to Try
If you fall in love with the ritual like I did, try swapping ingredients based on what’s in season:
- Pineapple instead of orange for tropical vibes
- Carrot instead of beet for a mellow earthiness
- Lime instead of lemon if you want a sharper tang
- Add cucumber for extra hydration in warmer months
