I don’t know about you but I had plans to get #healthier this year and that included losing weight. I need to stop #snacking and drinking Soda’s and Seat Tea. I need to find a healthy beverage to change my bad habits.
I learned January 26th is National Green Juice Day #NationalGreenJuiceDay. If your like me you may not like a lot of the foods in Green Juices but there supposed to be healthy and help with weight loss. Looks like I need to bite the bullet and drink at least one or two Green Juices a day with Cucumber Water and Apple Cider Vinegar I might lose this weight I need to lose. Would you want to join me?
Health food and drink producer Evolution Fresh started National Green Juice Day as a way of encouraging those who’ve made a New Year’s resolution to stay or get healthy. The company suggests consumers drink Green Juices to promote good health. Green Juices consist of a variety of pressed Vegetables and Fruits making Green Juices a healthy alternative to other foods. On January 26th, Evolution Fresh partners with HelloFresh to provide home delivery of fresh green juices.
