After eating every single carb in Lebanon & Paris, it's time to saddle back into eating clean, or, at least, attempt to with a few healthy juices.
For me personally, replacing a meal with a smoothie or tacking on a green juice to my lunch makes me feel loads better. My only complaint about going a juice-only route is the price. Where I work, I'm a stone's throw away from a couple of juice spots - expensive ones. After reading a few rave reviews, I gave Pure Green a try. It's near me, the prices are affordable, and the menu looks amazing.
The one I frequent is connected to an Open Kitchen (a healthier buffet of sorts) which makes getting a healthy lunch a plus. There are a few other Pure Green locations throughout the city and I heard a few more are in the works.
Once inside the modern and spotless juice bar you can either grab a juice and go, or pick something from their menu of smoothies, fresh juice (obvi), acai bowls, and shots of immunity boost. If you're undecided here's what to go with in the smoothie department: Mocha Cold Brew, Blue Royale, Banana Nut. As for juices, Soul Kick and Pure Greens with Apple, Lemon, and Ginger are constantly in heavy rotation. And when I'm trying to kick back on coffee I go with the Wake Me Up boost - this is also great for hangovers (speaking from experience). It's hard picking favorites when it comes to their Acai Bowls since they're all so GOOD, but I live for their coconut chia acai bowl.
Besides the price, I love how Pure Green puts a lot of emphasis on sourcing high-quality ingredients which makes everything taste delicious and helps us sustain energy all day long.
For those of you in NYC looking for a cleanse before or after a trip (AKA me) Pure Green offers them with the aid of a Pure Coach. This is kind of amazing for newbies or those looking to get more from their cleanse.
I highly recommend adding a green juice to your diet especially for those blah weeks and, of course, checking out Pure Green in the process.
