Juices You’ll Regret Trying
Juice should taste refreshing, but in reality, not all juices are equal. Some blends confuse your taste buds and make you question the motive behind them. And yet, they keep showing up on menus and sometimes in your own house. If you’ve ever been betrayed by a sip that looked innocent, this list is for you. Here are 20 juices that absolutely crossed the line.
1. Celery Juice
Back in 2019, celery juice hit every health influencer’s radar. It promised to cleanse, heal, and energize. However, what it delivered was the taste of mowed lawn water. Despite its vitamins and hydrating perks, most gave it up after a few grimaces.

2. Asparagus Juice
Asparagus already smells odd when cooked. The taste is green and oddly sour, and it kicks your bladder into overdrive. As for the scent, it doesn’t just stay in the glass—it follows you around, especially in the restroom.

3. Beet Juice
Beets are nutritious, no doubt, and their juice boosts circulation like a pro. Still, the experience hits hard, smelling like soil and burning the throat slightly. Add in the pink-tinted aftermath, and it’s easy to understand why most just pass on it.
4. Sauerkraut Juice
Right from the briny depths of fermented cabbage comes this sour surprise. Packed with probiotics and gut-boosting potential, it smells like vinegar-soaked laundry. Those who get past the first gulp often regret the endless post-juice burps that follow.

5. Wheatgrass Shot
Consider this nature’s answer to a dare. Wheatgrass juice is packed with nutrients, sure, but also tastes like wet hay with a side of barn air. It gets choked down more than enjoyed, but it still manages to survive on juice bar menus.
6. Bell Pepper Juice
Bell peppers belong on pizza, not in a glass. When juiced, their sweetness turns vegetal fast. It leaves an odd after-burn, almost like you drank a spicy salad. Even health fans usually mix it with fruit to make it tolerable.
7. Aloe Vera Juice
It’s been promoted as a skin and digestion miracle. Aloe juice has a jelly-like texture and a bitterness that sweeteners rarely hide. People still line up for it in detox aisles, though most find the taste a reminder that health isn’t always tasty.

8. Cabbage Juice
Cabbage in a glass doesn’t exactly scream refreshment. Packed with fiber and vitamin K, it was once believed to heal ulcers. These days, it mostly stuns noses and taste buds. Anyone brave enough to chug it probably earned bragging rights.
9. Onion Juice
Onion juice is better known for hair treatments than drinking. Yet, some folk remedies insist it helps with colds. The sip burns all the way down, tastes like a chemistry experiment gone sideways, and leaves a breath trail that lingers for hours.

10. Garlic Juice
Garlic’s great in food, but the juice is not something you may try again. Traditional medicine says it supports heart health. Reality says it smells up your kitchen instantly. Vampires might avoid you, and so will everyone else.

11. Bitter Melon Juice
Here’s one for the truly brave. Bitter melon lives up to its name immediately. It supports blood sugar levels and features prominently in traditional remedies, yet the flavor shocks like a cucumber dipped in punishment. Most chase it with something fruity to make it bearable.
12. Clamato
A mix of clam and tomato that defies all logic, Clamato is the oddball behind Canada’s Caesar cocktail. On its own, it’s salty and fishy in a way that stuns the senses. More mixer than beverage, it’s an acquired taste few pursue.

13. Black Radish Juice
This rarely seen concoction kicks like horseradish and lingers with a sulfuric funk. It’s believed to help detox the liver, and herbal circles love it. Still, the taste sticks in your mouth like a damp basement with spicy ambitions.
14. Spinach Juice
Spinach juice looks and sounds healthy, but sipping it solo is a challenge. Raw spinach brings bitterness and a thick texture that clings to your teeth. Most people blend it with fruit, but some still try it straight.

15. Eggplant Juice
Eggplant isn’t winning any flavor contests, and turning it into juice doesn't help. It's bland and tastes like disappointment filtered through a sponge. Marketed for cholesterol and weight loss, it shows up more in supplements than in anyone’s fridge.

16. Seaweed Juice
Popular in some Korean health circles, this slippery green liquid tastes like ocean leftovers. The iodine punch hits hard, and the texture often needs to be chewed. It's nutrient-rich, sure, but your taste buds may disagree by sip two.

17. Kohlrabi Juice
Some call it peppery, others call it confused. This cruciferous vegetable gets juiced in Eastern Europe for immunity perks. The flavor, though, crashes somewhere between cabbage water and mild wasabi. Most first-timers never reach for it again.
18. Dandelion Juice
Dandelions are weeds. Turning them into juice feels like a prank from nature itself. It’s chalky and leaves a bitter, medicinal aftertaste that overstays its welcome. Health nuts claim liver support, but most others just want the taste out of their mouths.

19. Turnip Juice
Just imagine a cold, earthy broth with a sharp nose and a rude aftertaste. That’s turnip juice. Popular in some folk remedies, it's known to ferment quickly and taste like root cellar mystery. Finish a glass, and you've got stories for life.
20. Prune Juice
If you've been in a pharmacy, you've probably seen prune juice holding its ground. Fiber-rich and packed with sorbitol, it’s feared by kids and favored by grandparents. One sip delivers a thick, earthy sweetness that you likely won’t appreciate.
