Jonesing for Juice

Good Evening! Boy, I've had an eventful couple of days. Sunday evening I saw a mouse in my garage and in typical girl fashion, screamed and ran inside the house. I can handle spiders and other critters, but when it comes to little critters I turn into a big scaredy cat. Knowing that I was freaked out and thought one was in my house, my sweet boyfriend went over and laid a bunch of traps for me while I was at work. I slept a little bit better last night thanks to him. Then this evening I got locked out of my house and had to call my dad to come and rescue me. I think I've had enough excitement for the week, don't you?

Rewind to Sunday afternoon when everything was peaceful and I was out and about running errands and getting groceries for the week. I stopped at Trader Joe's to pick-up a few of my favorite items and also to see what new products they had in stock. I was browsing the refrigerator section when their line of freshly made juices caught my eye. Up until now I haven't jumped on the juice craze bandwagon, because let's be real, I would rather eat my food than drink it. Plus, the couple brands of juice I have tried smelled and tasted horrible. However, after a weekend of indulging in all of my favorite things I thought my body could use a healthy dose of something green. I bought a bottle of Trader Joe's Green Cold Pressed Juice. This one specifically caught my eye, because it's not loaded with sugar like other brands.

While I liked this juice better than the other brands I've tried, I am still not sold on this whole juice craze. Plus the color makes me nauseous. For now, I will continue to take my vitamins and eat my veggies in between eating my beloved Tater Tots and Gelato. 

Have you tried the juice craze? If so, is there a specific brand and flavor you recommend? 

Talk to you tomorrow!
