The #GreenShot Trend: Microgreen Juice Shots Are the New Celery Juice

What Is a Green Shot—And Why Is Everyone Ditching Celery Juice?

Move aside celery. The latest wellness wave isn’t grown in a juice bar fridge—it’s sprouting in home kitchens, TikTok feeds, and eco-friendly homes. Microgreens—yes, those tiny vibrant greens—are becoming the new superstar of the daily wellness ritual.

They’re called #GreenShots, and they’re not just trendy. They’re potent.

Instead of lugging around a tall green juice bottle, today’s health enthusiasts are blending or juicing fresh microgreens into powerful mini shots that pack flavor, nutrients, and freshness into a couple of gulps.

But what makes these shots so special? Let’s break it down.

Why Microgreens Are the New Celery Juice

Celery juice had its moment—and it’s still beloved. But microgreens are proving to be even more nutrient-dense, sustainable, and beginner-friendly.

Here’s why microgreens are taking over the crown:

1. More Nutrients per Ounce

Studies (including from the USDA) show that microgreens can contain up to 40x more nutrients than their mature counterparts. That means a shot of broccoli microgreens may offer more vitamin C and E than a whole head of broccoli.

2. Freshly Harvested at Home

Unlike pre-bottled juices, ZestiGreens microgreens can be grown right on your countertop, then blended minutes after harvest. This freshness keeps enzymes and antioxidants intact.

3. No Sugar Spikes, No Additives

Celery juice can sometimes be mixed with apples or sweeteners to improve taste—raising sugar levels. A pure microgreens shot is clean, earthy, and low glycemic.

4. Way More Affordable

One bunch of celery per day adds up. ZestiGreens kits grow multiple trays of greens for the cost of a few days’ worth of celery juice.

5. Smaller Carbon Footprint

Microgreens require minimal water, zero transport, and grow in 5–10 days. Perfect for the eco-conscious.

How to Make a ZestiGreens #GreenShot at Home

Here’s a simple, no-fuss way to make a nutrient-packed microgreens shot:

Ingredients:

• 1 handful ZestiGreens pea shoots or kale microgreens (freshly harvested)
• 1–2 tablespoons water (filtered)
• Juice of ½ lemon (optional)
• A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Directions:

• Harvest your microgreens fresh using scissors.
• Add greens, water, lemon juice, and salt into a high-speed blender or small bullet blender.
• Blend until smooth.
• Strain if needed, or sip straight as is.

Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutrient punch.

Microgreens to Try in Your Green Shots

Not all microgreens are created equal for shots. Some are milder and smoother than others. Here are our top picks from the ZestiGreens lineup:

• Broccoli – Mild, clean, packed with sulforaphane
• Kale – Earthy, deep green, antioxidant-rich
• Radish – Spicy kick and immune support
• Sunflower – Nutty flavor, rich in protein
• Pea Shoots – Slightly sweet, great for beginners

Mix and match for flavor blends or nutrient stacks.

Is It Safe to Drink Microgreens Raw?

Yes—if they’re grown clean and fresh. Unlike sprouts, microgreens are grown above soil and harvested after the cotyledon stage, reducing bacterial risk. ZestiGreens microgreens are grown with clean water and controlled environments, making them safe and ready to eat.

Just rinse and enjoy. No need to cook or fear.

Who’s Taking the #GreenShot Challenge?

Wellness influencers, fitness coaches, and even parents on TikTok are showing off their #GreenShot rituals. It’s fast, fresh, and photogenic.
