Jujubeet launches premium juice cleanse "The Program"

I recently had the chance to check out Jujubeet's new premium juice cleanse and I'm here to report that it is in fact magical. The cleanse has been in development for over a year now and it was definitely worth the wait. I've done a Jujubeet cleanse before and loved my experience, but this cleanse is on another level. The flavors are rich, the packaging is elevated, and every blend is 100% organic and developed by Jujubeet's in-house dietician to nourish the body with a concentrated dose of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients.

The cleanse is designed to be consumed in a specific order and includes an assortment of elixirs, juices, smoothies. You're also encouraged to drink additional water in between the juices to help your body detox. I never felt hungry during my cleanse because the juices and smoothies were so filling.  My favorite juice of the cleanse was #2 "Gold" (pictured above) which is designed to help fight inflammation provide a powerful dose of anti-oxidants. The blend includes carrots, apple, ginger root, turmeric, coconut manna, and lucuma powder. I also really loved #5 "Vitality" which is a power smoothie featuring raw beet juice, spinach, dates, cayenne, and almond butter. The flavor blends are delicious and each one contains high-quality, locally sourced ingredients from small businesses in the Puget Sound including Herban Wellness in Kirkland.

This is a great cleanse to do in between Thanksgiving and Christmas to make your skin glow and give your digestive system a break during the holiday season. Grab a friend and sign up to experience a juice fast together. One thing to know about the new cleanse is that it will only be available in limited quantities and only on the first Monday of each month in order to allow Jujubeet to maintain the highest level of quality standards.

Join me as I hit the streets and dine out around town on Thursday, April 26th as part of the Dining Out For Life event which helps raise funds for Lifelong. Over 90 restaurants in the Greater Seattle area will participate by donating 30-50% of their proceeds from the evening to support Lifelong programs which include the Chicken Soup Brigade, health and dental services, youth outreach, and more.

This year's participating restaurants include Terra Plata, Skillet Diner (Capitol Hill), Oddfellows Cafe & Bar, Mamnoon, Elysian Fields, Coastal Kitchen and Bar Melusine, among others. I'll be at Terra Plata on Capitol Hill dining with friends and I encourage you to find a participating restaurant in your neighborhood to help support this very worthy cause. This is a great opportunity to grab your friends and make a  difference by supporting Lifelong's vital programs.
