It’s no surprise with the start of a New Year brings in new resolutions. A lot of people vow to eat right and get fit. I’m sure the gym owners are dancing to Drake’s Started from the bottom while fist bumping each other with the amount of new sign ups. I’m sure you’re expecting me to say, I’m eating healthy. Well…I want to make better choices. But a girl has to indulge, right?
My husband started to work out consistently several months ago, his process in losing weight began slowly. But all of a sudden, he really started to get fit. Now by any means was my husband overweight or out of shape. But looking at him now….has me sometimes contemplating about having a 3rd child. Yes! I find myself looking at him and well.. Where was I at? Ok… So… He has began juicing and the flavor combinations he comes up with are insanely delicious.
I started to look for “Juiceries” (I just made that up) in my city. Coffee Girl’s Cafe – is a local coffee shop that also specializes in creative juice combinations, coffee, and tea’s. The hubs introduced me to this place. I stopped by give it a try, the flavors are straight forward. First up, Liquid Sunshine which consists of carrots, strawberries, lemon, apple, and orange. It was the perfect treat, smooth and well balanced. Next up, C-Tox which consists of grapefruit, ginger, orange, strawberry, and parsley. This juice is a like a brick to the face – it hits you hard. The combination of grapefruit and ginger is quite powerful! If you are open to give your taste buds something other than liquid courage. Then I encourage you to give it a try.- Stay Juiced!
