And since we had to drink so many juices back to back to back, I felt surprisingly full the whole day! Towards the last 2 juices, I actually felt like I had to chug my juice so I could start on my next one on time.Īnother observation that I made was how early I became tired and sleepy. With the responsibility of being the Juice Mom, in addition to my heavy workload that day, the day flew by. Every two hours I was passing out the next juice to everyone – which is how I got dubbed as the official Juice Mom at work. ![]() Question to Self #1: How often do I eat because it’s time to, and not because I’m actually hungry?Īlso, it was fun for me to have organized this for my coworkers since I felt like I was responsible for the well-being of a few other people. Honestly, it was really helpful to have been that busy at work because I didn’t even think twice about the fact that I skipped lunch. Then, not too long after the Pineapple, Apple and Mint juice, it was time for another green juice. Since it’s been so busy at work, time flew before I had to drink my next drink at noon. However, if you’re not used to drinking green juice, I feel the BluePrint version is very palatable, and would probably make it easier to stomach as the days went by. It contains 25g of sugar – which adds up considering you’re drinking 3 of these a day. Not a stranger to Green Juice, my initial thoughts to the BluePrint version is that it’s REALLY REALLY sweet. Excited to finally try the cleanse, I dragged the 13 juices – 4 each of the three I needed to order, and the BluePrint Green Juice so I could compare the taste to the one we have at work – down to the office. Entrepreneurs believe the sky’s the limit, so that’s the approach I hope I can help to instill into everyone connected to Wellness in the Schools.I started off the day by going to Fairway Market to buy the day’s worth of supplies for myself and my coworkers since I actually failed to order the Fresh Direct in time. I am thrilled and proud to be part of such a special organization, and I look forward to seeing where our collective efforts will take us. Teaming up with Wellness in the Schools in alignment with my business goals was the start, but I realized that regardless of what I could do through my company, I just wanted to participate however I could. It’s not just an isolated class where kids learn about nutrition for a day it’s a long-term plan with measurable results, which creates the systemic change that our schools need. Wellness in the Schools was doing it in a way that felt special to me. I was a New York City public school kid, so for me, helping support a better nutritional upbringing for the same kids felt like the most authentic connection I could make. Beginning with BluePrint, and through my subsequent ventures, I have always aimed to strike that balance between giving the customer the product or service they want, and contributing to the underserved audience in a meaningful way. It’s our responsibility to make every effort in extending the basic right of good health as far as possible, through whatever kind of giveback program a business can support. ![]() In my opinion, there should be no limit on that type of opportunity. But while it’s encouraging to see so many new products and brands dedicated to helping people feel better and live well, there is a bit of an imbalance in terms of who has access to better food options. ![]() It’s not about a miracle pill or a magic bullet, it’s about consuming fresh, minimally processed, real food.Īs an entrepreneur in the healthy food industry, it’s been really exciting to see how much more of an interest people are taking in their health and what they put into their bodies, and how their food choices affect them, impact their families, and ultimately the community at large. We were really struck by how much confusion was out there around what constitutes a “healthy” diet. When we launched BluePrint Cleanse in 2007, the goal was to bring the benefits of juicing to a mass audience and raise awareness on the importance of adding fresh raw vegetables and fruits into your diet to achieve optimal health.
