As the new year begins and Americans recommit to healthier, more intentional routines, Arden’s Garden—a premium cold-pressed juice and wellness company rooted in metro Atlanta for 30 years—encourages decreasing your intake of ultra-processed foods and increasing your consumption of plant-based whole foods.
In a world defined by constant notifications, endless multitasking, and mental overload, mid 2025, Arden’s Garden saw an opportunity to create something new and different—not another energy drink, not another sugar-loaded stimulant, but a clean, functional juice designed for focus rituals and everyday presence. FOCUS+™, Arden’s Garden’s newest functional, plant-based beverage, is designed to support mental clarity and help busy minds feel more present in 2026.
“New Year’s resolutions often fail because they ask people to overhaul everything at once,” said Leslie Zinn, CEO of Arden’s Garden. “FOCUS+ was created to support one simple, powerful intention: showing up with more clarity and focus each day. It’s a purpose-driven functional beverage made with plants and adaptogenic herbs people have trusted for generations, delivered in a way that fits modern life.” With “Quitters Day” being January 9th this year, a date proclaimed by National Today as the day in which most individuals lose their focus and abandon their New Year’s resolutions. According to a writer for Psychology Today, they recommend choosing a mindful direction over an exact destination, focusing on progress not perfection, using the “if then” principle vs. absolutes to support setbacks, checking in with yourself monthly on needs for shifts, and redefining failure as feedback not a conclusion.
A Functional Juice Built With Intention
FOCUS+™ is a cold-pressed, fruit-forward juice made with a thoughtful blend of functional mushrooms, roots, herbs, and real fruit—crafted to support mental clarity, sustained energy, and daily focus rituals.
“Mushrooms in juice may sound unexpected, but these aren’t your average pizza toppings,” Zinn added. “Functional fungi have been used across cultures for centuries. We’ve blended them in a way that’s approachable, effective, and genuinely enjoyable to drink.”
The vibrant flavor profile of green apple, pineapple, peach, and tamarind brings familiarity and brightness, while the functional ingredients do the deeper work:
· Lion’s Mane – Supports mental clarity and focus
· Reishi – Recognized for helping manage everyday stress
· Cordyceps – Supports endurance and sustained energy
· Turkey Tail & Chaga – Provides resilience and immune-supporting properties
· Ashwagandha & Bacopa – Herbal allies for balance and concentration
· Green Tea Extract – Includes caffeine with L-theanine for smoother, naturally energizing support—without the jitters or crash
“Instead of trying to do it all at once, focus on function and intention,” said Zinn. “FOCUS+ fits into the kind of daily rituals that make resolutions last. If 2026 is the year Americans decide to also take back their health, the answer is not complicated. Intentionally eat more whole foods (mostly plants) every day – more than you did the day before. Maybe start with an all-plant-based smoothie, because one small habit, repeated daily, can change a life.”
Expanding Access to Plant-Powered Clarity
Now available in more than 1,400 Publix locations and 19 of Arden’s Garden brick and mortar stores. FOCUS+ continues Arden’s Garden’s mission to make functional, whole-food wellness accessible—without sacrificing flavor.
As lifestyle-driven health challenges continue to rise nationwide, Arden’s Garden emphasizes that meaningful change doesn’t require perfection—just small, consistent choices made daily.
“If 2026 is the year people choose presence over burnout, Focus+ is here to support that journey—one bottle, one ritual, one focused moment at a time,” Zinn said.
