Summer is starting to wind down. The kids are back at school, the schedules are filling up, and it’s time to reflect, refresh, and reset. After months of indulgent barbecues, sugary drinks, and late nights, your body might be craving a little TLC right about now. And the transition from summer to fall is the perfect opportunity to realign your habits, nourish your body, and set the tone for the rest of the year.

Enter Haskap juice, a natural, nutrient-packed way to support your body’s detox and renewal process. With its high levels of anthocyanins, vitamin C, and anti-inflammatory properties, Haskap juice is the perfect partner for your end-of-summer reset. Start now and you’ll go into winter topped up on vitamins and feeling great. Plus, unlike many tablet supplements, Haskap juice’s bioavailability (how well your body absorbs its nutrients) makes it even more effective. This bona fide Canadian superfood can help you feel your best as the seasons change.

Why Reset at the End of Summer?

You spent summer how you should have spent summer – having fun, easing back on restrictions, and grabbing those memories while you can. But the end of summer, well, that’s a natural time for reflection and renewal before the cooler, darker months roll in. You may have reasons of your own, but here’s why we think it’s the perfect moment to reset:

• Seasonal Transition: As the pace of life picks up in September, it’s important to prepare your body and mind for the busier months ahead. Go in run-down, and you are asking for trouble, or at least for the first cold or flu you come across!
• Post-Summer Indulgence: After a season of barbeques, ice cream, cocktails, and late nights, your body might be feeling sluggish or out of balance. This is a sign that your body needs some TLC. First stop – vitamins!
• Fresh Start Energy: September often feels like a second January, especially if you have school-age children. It’s a chance to set new goals and refocus on your health and wellness. Yes, you could wait till January, but the best time to plant a tree is today.

A reset doesn’t have to be extreme or complicated. Small, intentional changes, like incorporating Haskap juice into your day, can make a big difference if done consistently.

The Role of Haskap Juice in Your Reset

Honestly, if Haskap had no health benefits at all, we’d still love it. It tastes incredible, and there really isn’t anything like it. Luckily for us (and for you!), Haskap berries are a powerhouse of nutrients that can help your body detox and recharge. Here’s how…

1. Packed with Antioxidants

Haskap berries contain three times more anthocyanins than blueberries, making them one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits in the world. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, which can build up in your body after prolonged sun exposure, processed foods, and environmental toxins. Haskap only grows in a few places in the world, so we are extremely lucky to have them here in Canada.

2. High in Vitamin C

With 2-3 times more vitamin C than oranges, Haskap juice supports your immune system, boosts collagen production for healthy skin, and helps your body repair itself after a summer of yes to all those treats.

3. Anti-Inflammatory Benefits

Haskap juice is rich in polyphenols, which reduce inflammation and support overall wellness. These are your body’s best friends when you’re trying to recover from summer activities or looking to soothe your digestive system.

4. Hydration with a Nutritional Boost

Staying hydrated is key to any reset, and Haskap juice offers a refreshing alternative to plain water. Its natural sugars and tangy flavour make it a satisfying way to stay hydrated while nourishing your body. There’s even evidence that Haskap juice is more hydrating than water!

What About Bioavailability?

One of the most essential factors in any superfood is bioavailability, which refers to how well your body absorbs and uses the nutrients it contains. It’s become a bit of a buzzword in recent years as people have become more health-savvy, and, according to research, bioavailability can vary widely depending on the food source and how it’s consumed. Haskap juice has several advantages in this regard:

• Easily Absorbed Nutrients: The anthocyanins and polyphenols in Haskap juice are water-soluble, making them easier for your body to absorb compared to compounds in some other foods.
• Juicing Enhances Bioavailability: Processing Haskap berries into juice breaks down the food matrix, releasing more of the beneficial compounds and making them more bio-accessible.
• Quick Absorption: Studies suggest that anthocyanins are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, meaning you can start reaping the benefits soon after drinking Haskap juice.

This means that when you drink Haskap juice, your body can efficiently absorb its nutrients, maximizing the health benefits.

How to Incorporate Haskap Juice into Your Reset

As many of the nutrients in Haskap berries are water-soluble, a little and often approach is best to maximize your uptake. Adding in a little Haskap every day can really make a difference, so here are some simple ways to make Haskap juice a part of your end-of-summer routine:

1. Start Your Day with a Boost

Kickstart your morning with a small glass of Haskapür, our 100% pure Haskap juice. Its antioxidants and vitamin C will help energize you for the day ahead, and it will wake your taste buds up, too.

2. Add It to Your Smoothies

Blend Haskap juice with spinach, banana, and a handful of frozen berries for a nutrient-packed smoothie that’s perfect for breakfast or a midday snack.

3. Refresh with Haskap Watermelon Lemonade

Stay cool and hydrated with this summer-inspired drink that will help you ease into September. Try the recipe here.

4. Use It in Salad Dressings

Drizzle a Haskap vinaigrette over your favourite greens for a tangy, antioxidant-rich twist. Yes, it really does work in savoury recipes, too! Get the recipe here and make it on repeat!

5. Treat Yourself to a Haskap Berry Crumble

Other Tips for a Holistic Reset

While Haskap juice is a great starting point, a full reset involves more than just what you eat and drink. Here are some additional ways to refresh your body and mind:

• Eat Seasonally: Incorporate fresh, local produce into your meals. Eating seasonally increases the vitamin content of the foods, ensuring every bite is beneficial. Think leafy greens, root vegetables, and late-summer fruits.
• Stay Active: Find ways to move your body that feel good to you, whether it’s a brisk walk, yoga, or a bike ride.
• Prioritize Sleep: After a summer of late nights, focus on getting consistent, quality sleep and aim for 8-9 hours.
• Declutter Your Space: A clear space can lead to a clear mind. We’re not going all Marie Kondo on you, but a brisk tidy-up session can really help to clear your mind, as well as your home.

Why Haskap Juice Is the Perfect Reset Companion

Unlike fad detoxes or restrictive diets, Haskap juice offers a natural, sustainable way to support your body’s reset. It’s packed with nutrients, easy to incorporate into your routine, and delicious enough to genuinely enjoy every day.
