This vibrant, anti-inflammatory cabbage juice is the perfect gut-friendly tonic for keto eaters. Packed with healing nutrients like glutamine, gingerols, and hydration-rich veggies, it soothes the digestive tract without spiking blood sugar. Whether you’re managing IBS, ulcers, or just looking to stay regular, this easy-to-prep juice supports your system while tasting clean and refreshing.
How This Juice Supports Inflammation Relief
The original cabbage-apple-lemon juice offers digestive perks, but it comes with drawbacks—especially for those on keto or with sensitive digestion (e.g., IBS, reflux). The new keto-friendly variation improves on this by:
Removing apple juice, which is high in fructose and can spike blood sugar or irritate the gut.
Replacing lemon with mint and ginger, which have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and digestive-supportive effects without the acidity.
Keeping the powerful cabbage base, rich in glutamine and Vitamin U, shown in studies to promote ulcer healing and mucosal repair.
The new version is gut-friendly, low in carbs, and rich in plant-based compounds that support the gut lining and reduce inflammation systemically.
Staff Story/Experience:
Before switching to the keto lifestyle, several of our staff shared that they were regularly snacking and eating right up until bedtime. Depending on what they ate, many noticed they would wake up with acid reflux, often accompanied by coughing. To ease the discomfort, they’d have to prop themselves up in bed with extra pillows or blankets—hardly ideal for restful sleep.
This cycle not only made it harder to fall back asleep, but also disrupted their natural sleep rhythms. Over time, this kind of fragmented sleep can interfere with the body’s essential overnight processes, like brain detoxification, immune system regulation, and tissue repair. These “clean-up” systems are most active during deep, non-REM sleep—and when sleep is disrupted, it raises the risk for inflammation, weakened immunity, and even cognitive issues.
To help calm their digestive systems and avoid nighttime reflux, many of our staff started using a simple remedy: they sipped this soothing recipe in the morning on empty stomach for best absorption or by 6:30 PM and stopped eating after 7 PM. The result? Fewer digestive issues, better sleep, and feeling more refreshed in the morning. They also found that their inflammation levels dropped, which was confirmed through tests ordered by their doctors.
The Ultimate Cabbage Juice for Keto & Gut Health
Description
Ingredients:
1 cup green cabbage (chopped) – raw or lightly steamed
1/2 cup cucumber (sliced)
1/3 cup celery (chopped)
5–6 fresh mint leaves or 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1–2 drops liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
1–1.5 cups filtered water
Blending Instructions (Option 1):
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until smooth.
Strain through a fine mesh or cheesecloth (optional for smoother juice).
Serve cold with ice or refrigerate up to 2 days in a glass jar.
Juicing Instructions (Option 2):
Run cabbage, cucumber, celery, mint or ginger through a juicer (cold-press preferred).
Add filtered water if needed to adjust intensity.
Add a few drops of stevia/monk fruit post-juicing for sweetness.
Best served chilled, especially on an empty stomach in the morning.
Summary:
Juicing gives you a lighter, faster-absorbing drink with a cleaner flavor.
Blending gives you more fiber and nutrients, plus it’s more keto-stabilizing due to slower digestion.
If you're targeting ulcer repair, IBS relief, or fasting support, juicing may actually be more soothing.

Drink 20–30 minutes before meals to stimulate digestion.
Make a double batch and store in an airtight bottle for up to 48 hours.
