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!

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!
