the liquid evidence that fruit will die for your breakfast and feel proud about it

means The liquid that can be squeezed or pressed out of fruits, vegetables, or other plant or animal tissue — and, by extension, any vital fluid or electrical/energetic power.

from From Old French 'jus,' meaning broth or liquid, which came straight from Latin 'ius' — a word that meant gravy, soup, or sauce. That same Latin root is possibly a cousin of words in Sanskrit and Old Slavic relating to broth or fermented liquid, hinting at a very old human obsession with squeezing flavor out of things. The slang senses — 'electricity,' 'gasoline,' 'influence' — are far more recent, riffing on the idea of juice as the stuff that keeps something running.
