Juice Plus

It's no secret that I've been bitten by the juicing craze, but I've never been brave enough to actually take the plunge and try one. I was thinking about it today, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks-- I already do juice... plus.

Juice Plus+ has been a Cox family habit since I was in high school, and my mom even sells the stuff. It's full of fruits, veggies, and nutrients to make it oh-so-easy to meet your daily goals of good stuff. It's helped my allergies and my track record with illnesses like colds and flu, not to mention the whole digestive aspect.

But don't take my word for it, click here for expert reviews, published scientific journals, and testimonials about whole food nutrition.

It even comes in gummy-form in case you have a rough time with the capsules.

Fun facts: 
-it's made in the good ole U.S. of A.
-Juice Plus+ has other products besides the vitamins
-My mom has gotten other people in our family and her friends to start taking it and they now swear by it, too.
-I've actually been at events where people walk up to my mom and ask for it because they've 1) heard of the benefits 2) know she uses it and sells it or 3) just found our they're preggers (yes, it has amazing benefits for all but especially helpful to keep lil bambinos healthy in the womb).

And if all this doesn't convince you... what could it hurt?

Think about it: 

since when is eating more 

fruits and veggies a bad thing?

Juice: Jewel or Junk?

In an attempt to be uber healthy in 2013, I've been going to Adventure Boot Camp, running, ellipticizing, and trying to eat the good ole 80/20 rule (supposedly followed by Selena Gomez and the like), and now I've stumbled upon juice cleanses (specifically Suja Cleanses).

Ever the fad chaser, I've fallen prey to an instagram from Jef Holm (of Emily's season [see yesterday's post] of the Bachelorette), in which he says he's done the 3-day cleanse and is going to try the 5-day cleanse. After reading the website, I'm sufficiently intrigued and want to try either a one or three-day cleanse in the near future (if and when I do I'll be sure to let you know the results).

I'm curious to see firsthand what all of the hype is about, but I'm tempted to think "good enough for Gwyneth and Kate Hudson; good enough for me." 

 Anyone ever tried it?
