    V-Day Giveaway :: SUJA Juice

    I'm SO TOTALLY excited to share this interview today. Co-founder of Suja juice is not only sharing a lot of fun info with us via her interview but we're doing a SUJA giveaway: 3 days worth of SUJA juice. Yep, you heard it right. It's a GOOD one to say the least. See below...

    Co-founder, Annie Lawless, is the sweetest thing on the planet. She's so hardworking and cool. I had the wonderful opportunity of temporarily working with Annie at Kookie Karma. She interned for a few months and it was so darn fun. She loves KOOKIES and wanted to just LEARN and absorb and help out. I think she could care less about the pay at the time.

    She was like the smartest, most eager-to-learn 20 something person I could ever imagine having help in my office. I was shocked, a year and half later, to find out she was one of the brains behind this SUJA masterpiece. But I have to say, I'm NOT surprised. Find out more below! 

    Juli: Tell us about your new
    company and anything we might need to know! 

    Annie: My company is Suja Juice and
    we make raw, organic, cold pressed juices! We started very small with my best
    friend Eric and myself, and quickly grew as the demand for high quality
    nutrition spread throughout San Diego. Now, you can find us in Whole Foods
    Markets throughout the country, Jimbo’s in San Diego, and several other select
    natural food retailers which you can learn on our website. We are committed to using the highest quality local,
    organic, non-GMO verified produce in a cold process that retains all of the
    good stuff your body craves!

    Juli: Why Juice?

    Juice is one of the most
    nutritious substances you can put in your body if it’s done right (organic,
    raw, cold pressed, balanced sugars). There is no fiber, which is actually a
    benefit because your body doesn’t have to break anything down to unlock the
    nutrients, vitamins, enzymes, and minerals. It’s like an IV of pure health to
    your bloodstream with very little digestive labor. 

    What makes your juice
    unique {besides your genius flavors}?

    The shelf life and nutrient
    content! We use a special high pressure method after the juice is cold pressed
    to lock in the nutrients, push out the oxygen, and kill any pathogens – all done
    in an ice bath. This means there is no flash pasteurization with heat, and a 30
    day shelf life with no degradation in the nutritional value (we’ve had it
    tested!)

    Were you nervous about
    selling $9.00 juice?

    Nah, we know it may seem
    steep, but we also know what goes into each bottle! You can’t put a price on
    your health and a lot of people may not realize the areas in their lives they
    can cut back (Starbucks? take out? convenience foods?) to work high quality
    foods into their diet. There are 2-3lbs of produce in each bottle and the care
    and effort that goes into each bottle from press to shelf is really special.

    What is your favorite food
    and any simple tips on staying healthy?

    My favorite food is kale! It
    is so jam packed with nutrition and you can do anything with it (raw salad
    massaged with avocado, sautéed with onion and garlic, blended in a smoothie,
    juiced, used as a wrapper, dehydrated into chips…the list is never ending!)

    For
    me, staying healthy means balance. I like to make sure I’m getting enough of
    everything. I love working out hard, but I know I also need serious rest. I
    love a plant based diet, but know my body thrives with high quality fish or
    eggs occasionally. I love time with friends, but I also need quiet down time to
    recharge. I’m always busy, but will crash and burn without enough sleep.

    Do you have a favorite raw
    recipe you'd like to share with us? {it can be super simple and easy}

    How do I choose?! Normally, I
    would say my favorite is a raw avocado kale salad, but lately I’ve been all
    about smoothies! They are so easy and packed with nutrition. Here’s what’s in
    mine, but you can make any substitutions you want:

    For the base: 1 Bottle of Suja
    Vanilla Cloud (coconut almond milk with vanilla bean, cinnamon and nutmeg) OR
    Choc-Full if you like cacao!

    Add:

    ½ banana

    1T chia seeds

    1T flax seed (I grind mine in
    the coffee grinder first, but you don’t have to)

    1 scoop green powder (I rotate
    all the time, right now it’s Vibrant Greens)

    1 T almond butter

    1 teaspoon coconut oil

    1 big handful of spinach

    A few leaves of kale
    (de-stemmed)

    Splash of organic vanilla
    extract

    Blend together and top with:

    Sprinkle of dried coconut

    Cacao nibs and chopped almonds
    for crunch

    Blend together until smooth.

    Tell us a little about your
    day and how you stay healthy and stay focused?

    My day is never the same, but
    there are a few non-negotiables that I hold sacred. The first thing is 20
    minutes of quiet time in the morning. Every morning I wake up and have yerba
    mate tea (I just throw organic loose leaf in my French press). While the water
    boils, I don’t check e-mail, turn on the TV, or text. I just hang out in
    silence and enjoy the quiet.

    After that, I have a Suja Fuel and check a few
    e-mails before working out. I can’t eat before working out that early, but I
    also can’t go on empty. Then I either got to a yoga or pilates class, run
    outside, or hop on my elliptical at home.

    After that, I have a really hearty
    breakfast (usually my biggest meal of the day!) This can be anything from a
    couple poached eggs, oatmeal, a smoothie, or raw granola. The rest of the day
    gets busy and involves a little of everything. Computer work, packing juice,
    ordering product, phone calls….the only constant is stopping for meals,
    hydrating with plenty of juice, and taking 10-15 minute breaks to chill out! I
    went through a period of forgetting to take mini breaks or eat at regular
    intervals and I got worn out fast. Now, I don’t let anything get in the way of
    taking care of myself and I’m much more efficient that way. It’s all about the balance!

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
