Wellness Talk: Green Juice
You know when you have an amazing weekend of eating whatever you want? I mean ALL the french fries, ice cream, cheesecake and soda you want? Then comes Monday and you feel absolutely gross? This happens to me more than I would like to admit, especially around the holidays. Because well, #YOLO can only justify so much. If you can relate (please say you can relate!), I have your 5 minute fix for that icky feeling. Two words: Green Juices.
Now, in no way am I advocating the regular practice of this - but when you have been feeling less than nutritious and know you haven't been eating healthily, swapping your breakfast for a green juice is a great way to get back on track. Even if you haven't had a weekend of icky eating; grabbing a green juice at the airport for an early flight instead of a coffee is also a very smart dietary choice. I find that a green juice instead of coffee early in the morning gives the same alertness without the caffeine spike so you can still snooze on the plane #winning.
There are TONS and TONS of green juices on the market - sadly most are laden with sugars and all sorts of acids and other things no one can pronounce. The Evolution Fresh Sweet Greens and Lemon Green Juice is by far my favorite. This Evolution Fresh Juice contains Celery, Apple, Cucumber, Spinach, Kale, Romaine, Lime, Lemon and Parsley. Can we say #hellahealthy?! In addition compared to other juices I found that the evolution fresh green juice was very low in sugar and sodium. 8oz of the Evolution Fresh Juices have 10g of Sugar and 150mg of Sodium. Compared to other well-known juices; these are low numbers for the nutrition this juice packs. Still, if you can homemade is always best! But if you are on the go - these are the go to!
You can purchase these juices at select Starbucks stores.
I've seen this brand in the grocer's section. Most likely, after this holiday season I will be juicing it up!
ReplyDeleteYou will love it I am sure! After all the holiday eating - I will be juicing as much as possible too :)
