What's Happening -- My Life Just Got a Lot Juicier...
I mentioned it in last week's What's Happening Wednesday but today is the launch and I am so excited to be a Jamba Juice Junior Ambassador. This means I get to host parties, share their yummy smoothies, and basically enjoy their fabulous product.
I have been drinking Jamba Juice smoothies since the 90's. Living as an actress juggling multiple jobs to survive in San Francisco, I did not always eat well, or truthfully... at all. There was a JJ next to the cinema where I worked and I would often run in knowing I could get a healthy alternative to the junk food and soda I would often grab at the theater. My favorites then were the Banana Berry or the Aloha which added Pineapple. They provided an awesome pick-me-up that didn't have the awful crash that soda provided. And did I mention? They were yummy.Now Jamba Juice provides smoothies that include a serving of vegetables, as well as a serving of fruit. How awesome is that? My kids are not good veggie eaters so I can't wait to get them to try the new Berry UpBEET Smoothie! Because truth be told, I may or may not be a great veggie eater myself. This looks like a great way to improve my intake!
Berry UpBEET™Smoothie
Beets are back, baby!
Your grandma wasn’t kidding – beets are good for you. Add in some mixed berry juice, strawberries, blueberries and mangos and you’ve just helped usher in a new era for the beet as the tastiest vegetable in the world. You’re welcome, Nana.
While I do love Jamba Juice and their smoothies, that is not the only reason I chose to be an Ambassador. JJ is commtted to contributing to a healthy lifestyle. They are a part of "Team Up For a Healthy America" which is dedicated to fighting childhood obesity and encouraging families to pledge their commitment to health and fitness. Check out the pledge: My Health Pledge.
I am making a commitment to improve my health. In fact, I even let my hubby grab a picture of my return to running.
I look pretty serious, don't I? I think I may need to purchase better work-out wear, however. HAHA.I am really thankful for this new opportunity. So excited... my blog just got a lot juicier!
