History of National Green Juice Day
While many people start a new year with lots of excitement and fervor, sometimes it can be difficult to stick to those New Year’s resolutions when one cold, dark week of January blends into the next. In fact, studies have shown that approximately fifty percent of Americans tend to break their resolutions even before the month of January ends.
With this in mind, National Green Juice Day is here to remind people about their health goals and give them a little boost of energy to get through the rest of the month – and year!
Evolution Fresh, makers of cold-pressed juices and smoothies, now including the Bolthouse Farms brand, founded National Green Juice Day in 2016 to empower people and spur them on to not give up on their Health goals for the year. And, according to Evolution Fresh, one great way to do this is by making a Healthy habit of drinking green juice.
