Nutrition On The Go: Chuice

Happy Thursday pretty friends! Today is the last Thursday in June so that means the last of my series, Nutrition-on-the-go. But not to worry, I have saved the best for last! If you have been following me for a while you have definitely heard me talk about my favorite local juice, Chuice. They recently changed their look and are better than ever!

“The dietary misadventures of the past several decades are a problem of culture: it is socially acceptable to consume food in a manner that often works against us. By offering a product that is tasty, convenient, and truly good for you, we hope to stimulate a conversation regarding how to best nourish ourselves and our future.” Chuice Mission

So what exactly is Chuice? Chuice is a delicious blend of over 35 fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts and seeds. This Superfood is one of a kind: more of a meal than a drink, each ingredient comes from nature and was chosen for nutritional benefit. Chuice is comprehensively nutritious, containing all the elements of a healthy diet: complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, protein, minerals and fiber. It is also the world’s first chewable, drinkable juice (Chew + Juice). Chewing is important because it is the first critical step to igniting our body’s natural digestive system–by activating enzymes in the mouth that start to break down complex carbohydrates (the good kind of carbohydrates found in fruits and vegetables). Additionally, chewing tells your body that you are eating, with the satisfaction that you are indeed eating, not just drinking. Chuice is all-natural and high-pressure processed, which means the pasteurization process doesn’t use any heat so it doesn’t remove valuable nutrients. It comes in two flavors: Evergreen (green) and Heartbeet (red).

As you can see by the ingredient list, Chuice is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Lets take a minute and talk about fiber. I’m sure you’ve grown up hearing how important fiber is- like it helps us go potty and keeps us full longer. But fiber also helps prevent:

Heart disease: Fiber may aid in the prevention of heart disease by helping lower your cholesterol.

Diabetes: Fiber helps control blood sugar levels for people with diabetes.

Digestive Problems: Adequate amounts of fiber from foods can help prevent constipation and hemorrhoids.

Weight Gain: A high-fiber eating plan is lower in calories and tends to make you feel full faster.

Consuming enough fiber may be easier than you think thanks to Chuice. Each 8 oz bottle of Chuice contains 6 grams of fiber- that is something you will not find in any other juice. By adding Chuice to your daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, you can easily meet the recommended amount each day (25 grams for women and 38 grams for men). My dear friend Dr. Sujit, pediatrician and CEO of Chuice, wrote a fantastic article on the importance of daily fiber. You can read it by clicking here.

As of right now Chuice is only available at Georgia Whole Foods but is making its way to other grocery stores. Don’t live in Atlanta? Not a problem- you can purchase all the Chuice you want online.

See, making healthy choices doesn’t have to be so difficult?

Happy 4th of July weekend friends!
