It will be a while before it’s Halloween again, so forget the lanterns. We have a better use for pumpkins this season: pumpkin juice and smoothies.

Healthy Pumpkin Juice Recipe

If you’re new to juicing, the idea may sound a bit unappealing. No one is eating raw pumpkin, let alone drinking concentrated juice, right?

And yet, all the juice enthusiasts know they have at least a few well-worn pages in their recipe books containing pumpkin juice ideas.

In this post, you will learn 6 easy recipes to make the tastiest and healthiest juices and milkshakes from pumpkin.

But first, let’s take a look at what nutrients the orange/yellowish fruit has to offer.

Pumpkin Juice Benefits

The bright orange color of pumpkin juice suggests it is a rich source of vitamin A and beta-carotene. And, in fact, it is!

100 grams of raw pumpkin contains about 8,513 IU of vitamin A, which is equivalent to 170% of your daily value. Raw pumpkin juice is naturally loaded with this vitamin, making it one of the best drinks for your eyes.

Vitamin A deficiency is the cause of many vision problems, including xerophthalmia and blindness in children. The high amount of vitamin A in pumpkin juice can help maintain and improve your vision.

Besides promoting eye health, vitamin A is also crucial for healthy skin. Positive effects of this vitamin on the skin include healing wounded tissues and anti-aging properties.

Vitamin A can be found in carrots as well. Check out our collection of the top 10 best carrot juice recipes to help introduce vitamin A into your diet.

Apart from vitamin A, pumpkin juice also contains various antioxidants, including vitamin C and zinc. These are essential to maintain health and promote smooth, acne-free skin.

Pumpkin juice is a pretty safe drink, except for those who are allergic to pumpkin. The only side effect known to us is that it can turn your skin orange or yellow. However, that only happens if you consume a large amount of it every day over a long period, which most people don’t.

How to Prepare for Juicing

  1. Pick a small/average-sized pumpkin, the kind you would use to make a pie. Pumpkins that feel heavy for their size and have smooth skin are the best.
  2. Wash the pumpkin thoroughly and remove the stem.
  3. Cut the pumpkin into halves. It can be very hard
  4. Scoop out the seeds and the stringy pulp.
  5. Peel the pumpkin and cut it into small chunks that can go through your juicer.
