Mental Health Awareness Month (Join our Challenge!)

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and at 1987 Juices, we’re taking it to heart—because mental wellness isn’t just about what’s in your head, it’s about how you care for your whole self!

How Nutrition Impacts Your Mood

You’ve heard the phrase “you are what you eat”—but did you know that what you eat can also impact how you feel?

Your gut and brain are in constant communication (yep, it’s a real thing—called the gut-brain axis), and over 90% of serotonin, your feel-good neurotransmitter, is actually produced in the gut. That means your food choices can directly affect your mood, focus, and energy levels.

Some powerful mood-boosting players to know:

• Leafy greens (like kale and spinach in our Green Light juice) are packed with folate and magnesium, which help manage stress and stabilize mood.

• Pineapple, oranges, and ginger (featured in Morning Kisses) support serotonin production and fight inflammation, helping you feel clear, focused, and emotionally balanced.

• Beets and apples (in Beets By Meh) are rich in antioxidants and nitrates that help oxygenate the brain and reduce fatigue.

• Garlic and apples (think Purple Reign) support detoxification, which can lighten the mental load and bring clarity.

Fun fact: Studies show that people who eat more fruits and veggies tend to feel calmer, happier, and more energetic than those who don’t. Basically, your plate (or your juice!) can be a daily dose of emotional support.

Join our 31-Day Mental Health Challenge

This May, we want you to feel good on purpose. We created a challenge to guide you through 31 days of intentional living, one simple act at a time. Whether it’s journaling in the morning, choosing hydration over caffeine, or dancing it out to your favorite song—every win counts.

Here’s how to join:

1. Follow us on Instagram (@1987juices) and turn on post notifications for daily story reminders.

2. Visit our Facebook page (1987 Juices) to download or screenshot our 31- Day Challenge Calendar and use it as your personal tracker—check off your wins every day, celebrate the small stuff, and stay inspired.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up for yourself every single day, however that looks.

This Is Your Invitation to Show Up

Mental health looks different for everyone. Maybe it means carving out time to stretch, maybe it’s finally saying no without guilt, or maybe it’s simply drinking your juice and staying hydrated. Whatever it is, we’re here to support you.

Show up, check off your wins, and commit to the version of you that’s all in.

Let’s celebrate the little shifts that lead to lasting change. Because when you nourish from within, you glow on the outside.

We're all in this together,
