Every fall, pumpkin spice flavors flood menus and store shelves, but year after year, people are starting to feel tired of the same predictable offerings, prompting Clean Juice to launch a trio of limited-time, apple-forward beverages. This new menu specifically responds to a high percentage of consumers feeling "pumpkin spice fatigue," and offers a refreshingly different selection of drinks for fall.
All three new beverages are apple-based, with the Caramel Apple One Smoothie blending banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple and vanilla with naturally sweet dates, and the Apple Ginger Fire One Juice Shot pairing lemon, ginger, cinnamon and cayenne for a spicy, flavorful boost. And for those who don't like to venture too far from their comfort zone, the Apple Cider One Fresh-Pressed Juice features pumpkin spice, plus lemon.
