The 30-Plants-A-Week Goal

June 30, 2026

Did you know the variety of plant foods we eat is just as important as the amount we consume?

Most people struggle to meet the recommended “2 and 5” in a day. In fact only 6.1% of Aussie adults meet the recommended daily intake of fruit and veggies¹.

But it's not just the number of serves, but the variety of plants we eat that is important. Many health professionals recommend we aim for 30 different plant foods every week.

The more diversity we have in our diet, the greater the range of nutrients are available to us. And, the more variety we develop in our friendly gut bacteria to keep our microbiome humming.

A healthy, diverse microbiome supports a strong immune system, increases our resilience to infection, strengthens our intestinal barrier, balances our blood sugar and helps prevent disease. Tick, tick, tick.

The challenge is that true variety takes time and energy: planning/scrolling, list-writing, grocery shopping, prepping, and cleaning up afterwards. And despite starting the week with the best of intentions, life happens and it can easily slip away from you.

That's where a daily juice can help.

Pressed Earth juices combine a variety fruits, vegetables, herbs, roots and spices in one bottle, making it easier to add more plant variety to your day without overhauling the way you eat.

Juice isn’t a replacement for whole fruit and vegetables. Think of it as a simple addition: an extra combination of plants, prepared for you and ready to drink. Choose a few different juices throughout the week and those plant ingredients quickly begin to add up.
