Carissa, Exective Director of Commodity Juicery
On this foodie getaway, I am reminded of an interview with a famous female poker player who not only talked about her experience in the world of poker, the competition and the game, but like a few sports players who have adopted the healthy lifestyle eating so she can be at the top of her game – mentally and physically. Just like Tiger Woods, the famous golf player who was the first in his game to incorporate physical fitness, she incorporated a healthy eating lifestyle by hiring a personal chef.
So where did my Food Muse take me?
It’s well known in the healthy conscious community a healthy lifestyle with a clean diet nourish and even heal the body so it can function at a higher level. If you are aware of how you feel, you can feel the difference when you eat certain foods and the effects, which only inspire you to continue on this healthy journey. While feeling great and having a clear mind I’ve discovered how much easier to do my art and the work involved in the business on a physical, emotional, and intuitive levels. Bringing out the best in me.

This is not a typical juice bar!
According to Carissa, the Executive Director the menu items have been designed by three local holistic nutritionists that took a year to develop. So ingredients are not randomly put together as one would have thought. At Commodity Juicery, literally taste the science behind each product.
So what are my faves?
Feel the Beet Juice
Beets, carrots, turmeric, green apple, ginger and lemon. Well I have a confession… I am a beet lover so naturally I would be drawn to this decadent rich drink. Plus I LOVE the rich ruby color! Did you know beets are packed with iron? How cool is that? Health benefits are improved cardiovascular health, liver cleansing, anemia treatment, inflammation reduction, digestion and circulation.

Banana, Peanut Butter, Cocoa Nibs, Flax Seed, Dates + Almond Mylk
Strawburst
Strawberry, Banana, Coconut Oil, Cinnamon and Apple Juice (Carissa and I are beet lovers and so she added some beets to this smoothie. In case you’re wondering, you can make ‘ingredient requests’ to better your liking.)
