5 Whitening & Antioxidant Juice Recipes

Tomato, Pomegranate, Blueberry, Bitter Melon, Green Tea | On-the-Go UV Protection with PB-01

UV radiation sharply increases from late April, and by May, the amount of UV light is comparable to mid-summer. In addition to sunscreen, supplementing with antioxidants through your diet can prevent UV-induced spots, dullness, and skin aging from within. The Happilaff PB-01 portable blender allows you to easily make whitening and antioxidant juices on the go. Here are 5 recipes specifically designed for early summer UV protection.

☀ Antioxidant Ingredients to Protect Skin from UV Rays

  • Lycopene: Reduces UV-induced DNA damage and prevents spots (tomatoes, watermelon)
  • Anthocyanins: Eliminates active oxygen and suppresses collagen breakdown (blueberries, pomegranate)
  • Vitamin C: Suppresses melanin production and promotes collagen synthesis (acerola, kiwi, paprika)
  • Catechin: Suppresses UV-induced inflammation and acts as an antioxidant (green tea, matcha)
  • Beta-carotene: Enhances skin's UV resistance and acts as an antioxidant (carrots, mango)

🍅 Recipe 1 | Tomato x Pomegranate Lycopene Whitening Juice

Lycopene x Ellagic Acid for Double Block against UV Damage

Rich in LycopeneWhitening EffectSpot Prevention
Ingredients (1 serving)
  • 2 tomatoes (300g)
  • 100ml pomegranate juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp olive oil (enhances lycopene absorption)
  • Pinch of salt
  1. Cut tomatoes into quarters and put into PB-01 bottle.
  2. Add pomegranate juice, lemon juice, and salt.
  3. Blend for 30 seconds, then add olive oil and mix. Done.
💡 Whitening Point: Lycopene in tomatoes reduces UV-induced DNA damage and suppresses melanin production, which causes spots. Ellagic acid in pomegranate inhibits the melanin-producing enzyme (tyrosinase). Olive oil increases lycopene absorption by approximately 3 times.

Anthocyanins x Vitamin C for Thorough Elimination of Active Oxygen

  2. Blend for 40 seconds. Done.
  3. Can be carried and consumed on the go.
💡 Whitening Point: Anthocyanins in blueberries eliminate active oxygen generated by UV rays and suppress collagen breakdown. Vitamin C in acerola suppresses melanin production. With PB-01, you can make it before going out and carry it with you, so you can drink it before going out during peak UV hours.

🍵 Recipe 3 | Matcha x Kiwi Catechin Whitening Green Juice

Catechin x Vitamin C to Internally Calm UV Inflammation

💡 Whitening Point: Catechins (EGCG) in matcha suppress UV-induced skin inflammation and calm redness after sunburn. Vitamin C in kiwi suppresses melanin production and enhances skin transparency. Also ideal as an after-sun care juice.

🥭 Recipe 4 | Mango x Carrot Beta-Carotene Skin Beautifying Juice

Beta-carotene enhances skin's UV resistance

  2. Add frozen mango, orange juice, ginger, and water.
  3. Blend for 40 seconds. Done.
💡 Whitening Point: Beta-carotene in mango and carrots converts to Vitamin A in the body, enhancing skin's UV resistance. Continuous intake improves skin to a naturally glowing and less prone to sunburn condition. The synergistic effect with Vitamin C from orange doubles the whitening effect.

🥒 Recipe 5 | Bitter Melon x Lemon Bitter Detox Whitening Juice

Momordecin x Vitamin C to Repair UV Damage from Within

Ingredients (1 serving)
  • 1/4 bitter melon (seeds and pith removed)

  1. Remove seeds and pith from bitter melon, slice thinly, and put into PB-01 bottle.
  2. Add apple, lemon juice, honey, and water.
  3. Blend for 40 seconds. Done.
💡 Whitening Point: Momordecin in bitter melon enhances liver detoxification functions, promoting the elimination of waste products generated by UV damage. It contains about 1.7 times more Vitamin C than lemon, strongly suppressing melanin production. The sweetness of apple mellows the bitterness, making it easy to drink.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. When is the best time to drink UV protection juice?
We recommend drinking it 30 minutes before going out. It takes about 30 minutes for antioxidant ingredients to be absorbed into the bloodstream, so drinking it before going out can boost your body's antioxidant power before sun exposure. With PB-01, you can quickly make it before leaving, making it easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
Q2. Is it effective after sunburn?
Yes, it is also effective for after-sun care. After sunburn, actively consuming anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredients can prevent the development of spots and dullness. In particular, catechins from matcha, anthocyanins from blueberries, and lycopene from tomatoes have an effect on calming post-sunburn inflammation.
Q3. Can I use PB-01 on the go?
Yes, PB-01 is a Type-C rechargeable portable blender that can be used without an outlet. It can also be charged with a mobile battery, so you can use it in the office, gym, or outdoors. The bottle can be used directly as a drinking cup, minimizing cleanup when out and about.
Q4. What if I don't like the bitterness of bitter melon?
You can reduce the bitterness of bitter melon by rubbing it with salt, letting it sit for 5 minutes, then rinsing it with water. You can also mask the bitterness by adding more honey or adding a banana. If you dislike bitterness, we recommend starting with a smaller amount of bitter melon (1/8 of a piece) and increasing it as you get used to it.
Q5. Where can I buy Happilaff PB-01?
You can purchase it on the Happilaff official online store. We offer free shipping nationwide in Japan.
