Evolution Fresh Juices #MC #Sponsored

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Millennial Central for Evolution Fresh. I received coupons for Evolution Fresh juices to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Have you heard of Evolution Fresh yet?? Ooooooh are you in for a wholesome, delicious, treat! Evolution Fresh offers a huge variety of juice flavors that help quench that summer thirst-while keeping you bikini ready and feeling good! 

Evolution Fresh peels, presses, and squeezes raw fruits and vegetables (even though the fruits and veggies used in the juices are raw--the juices are technically not). After chilling, blending and bottling their juices, they use High Pressure Processing (HPP) to help protect flavors and nutrients.(Click here if you want to watch a video showing how the process works.) 

If you check out the Evolution Fresh site you can find a verrryy long list of different juice varieties-however I was only able to sample what was available at my local store (although note that I REALLY want to try the organic orange juice, tangerine, and apple berry!) Although each variety I sampled was super flavorful and tasted extra healthy-our favorite to drink straight was the organic strawberry lemonade! Michael and I would grab a couple bottles to take with us when we hit the pool. And you know how quickly you can feel overheated, worn out, and dehydrated on a hot summer day at the pool? Our little lemonades helped keep us feeling refreshed and happy!

I found that for the Organic V, Essential Greens, Super Green, and Protein Power they were best used (for our pickier palates) in smoothies or....POPSICLES! (Side note: my brother flipped his lid for these! He's super into fitness and health lately so when he came over and found these in my refrigerator he immediately asked permission to make a smoothie. He then sang the praises of Evolution Fresh and asked where he could find some!)

Here's my little non-recipe for the popsicles, but really...you can just make popsicles out of any variety you want, with or without blending anything else in!

65+ Chocolate Chip Recipes for National Chocolate Chip Day

HOOORAY! It is National Chocolate Chip Day! I love this day, because chocolate chips are one of MY FAVORITE ingredients! I throw them 'em just about everything (except for dinner ;P), so I thought-let's see HOW MANY recipes I have, on this blog, that use chocolate chips! And I think I've got them all, feast your eyes and prepare to get hungryyyy....

Something Saturdays (8/2/14)

Hmmm....I worked. My neck got sunburned.

Family reunion: saw tons of people and got to introduce Michael to a bunch. It was awesome hanging with family that I haven't seen in years :)

My car decided to not wanna start sometimes and just generally act up. Had to get that taken care of. Except that...ha...didn't get taken care of. So, although I wasted pretty much 2 days on getting it "fixed" I now am looking forward to spending more time to hopefully actually fix it. #imissthesubway

We had our 4th cake tasting and the cake was really delicious (chocolate cake with ganache? Mmm and a lovely white cake too!) but they won't do kitchen cakes (AKA making a slightly smaller tiered cake and then cutting kitchen cakes they have in the back for the rest of the servings we'll need. This is cheaper than having the whole thing from the main cake.)--so I would end up with a giant 5 tier cake that costs at least $100 more than any of the other bakeries. Sooooo nope.

We also helped Michael's cousin and his girlfriend pack up and move some of their stuff--Lisa (the girlfriend) has a job helping wedding/vacation plan for Disney for 6 months and she starts Monday so they're moving down there in the next couple days. It was so fun hanging out and helping and I can't wait until they're back!

And for the past couple days (and finishing up today) I've been working a tradeshow in Cleveland. Super fun but super exhausting!

I don't agree with some of this list ranking the men of Gilmore Girls. But spots #1 & 2?? SPOT ON! #Jessforever
