Zulay’s Favorite Green Juice Recipe To Kick-Start 2024


Embracing the “new year, new me” mantra often falls short. The surge of enthusiasm as a fresh year approaches prompts ambitious intentions for change and improvement. Yet, the most effective path to transformation lies not in sweeping resolutions but in the commitment to small, tangible shifts — a mere 2% adjustment each day.

Zulay's Green Juice

At the outset of a new year, prevailing themes often revolve around health and wealth. Many aspire to attain peak physical condition or adopt healthier lifestyles, often in preparation for significant life changes like starting a family. Or alongside financial aspirations such as saving for pivotal life events like education, homeownership, or exploration through travel. While definitive plans and steps exist to achieve these goals — and I encourage the necessary diligence — grant yourself the grace to fulfill your aspirations this year.

Now, allow me to propose a straightforward approach to kick-starting a healthy year while also trimming expenses: juicing. This practice not only nourishes your body and mind on a daily basis, but infuses you with an abundance of revitalizing energy. Opting to juice at home becomes paramount if fiscal moderation is a target for 2024, especially considering that a single serving of an Erewhon “just greens” juice demands a price tag of approximately $10.
