Why Juice? by Ryan Leopold

Menu of options at Greenline Organic in Kirkland

Like I have mentioned a couple times so far, I love Juicing.  Before this challenge, I tried to juice as much as possible but ended up only doing it maybe once every 5-7 days or so.  The concept just makes sense to me...getting a ton of fruits and veggies in one shot!  Think about it, a 16 oz. glass of beets, carrots, celery, cucumbers, kale, spinach, apples, etc.!  Juicing is an amazing burst of energy and can be a nice little meal replacement in the day.  I am a big fan of fresh juice but if I don't end up doing it at home or I miss a chance to hit up my juice guy then I like to buy the green drinks sold in the stores.  Juicing can be expensive but so is a latte everyday.

Looks like I am not alone...busy day for Kuang and Jean at the juice bar on Saturday!

Big Seahawks win and I did not drink any alcohol.

Breakfast at The Heathman in Kirkland.  Eggs, toast and fruit plate (I had a couple mini doughnuts too...they were great).  Apples and peanut butter for a snack along with some cucumbers. Our friend Janna made a nice green drink too.  Heading out for a nice salad for dinner.  Yoga starts up tomorrow.
