This is a sponsored conversation on behalf of Evolution Juice. Evolution Juice sent me green juice bottles to try, but all opinions expressed are my own.

Now that it’s February, are you still on track with your healthy eating and living? What changes have you incorporated? I definitely upped my intake of fruits and veggies. I have also made a point to walk at least 10,000 steps per day. I want to share one thing that will help make it easy on you. Evolution Fresh™ Green Juice. Why Evolution Fresh Juice?

Small Steps Toward Health

January is the time when we all decide to make healthy changes. I know I did some indulging around the holidays! Sometimes the thought of a complete lifestyle overhaul can be intimidating. I like to set small goals at first. Those small goals can add up to be big positive changes! There are many little things you can do to take steps toward health. For example:

Take small walks around your neighborhood.
Climb stairs at home
Start to read labels
Up your intake of fruits and vegetables

Did you know that January 26th is National Green Juice Day? Evolution Fresh makes it easy to get my daily fruits and vegetables.

Carrot Ginger Juice

May 30, 2015 Melissa King 14 Comments

My husband accidentally bought an extra bag of carrots yesterday. So I decided to make this Carrot Ginger Juice. I will also be making a batch of my carrot cake breakfast cookies and carrot cake energy bites. They freeze well, so I will be saving them for my husband’s lunches. This carrot ginger juice is a great way to sneak some veggies into your kids. I think this juice would also make great popsicles. I like these molds for popsicles.

If you don’t have a juicer, you can blend in a blender and strain. I used a large chunk of ginger in mine. I like my juice with a kick! 🙂

Immune Boosting Antioxidant Juice

I did a small juice fast the other day, and this immune boosting juice was one that I made during that juice fast. You may think, wait a minute. Juice a sweet potato? Trust me. They make for some yummy juice. Sweet potatoes are also loaded with Vitamin B6 and Vitamin A. The yellow pepper adds another level of sweetness while boosting your immunity. Yellow peppers are also high in Vitamin C. If you are interested in the type of juicer I use, you can see it here.
