Juice Obsession: La Juiceria

Lately, I've been obsessing over healthy eating and so making it a habit to consume juices, yogurts and fruits besides opting for salad and greens on a frequent basis. Today's post will be me sharing with you my recent favorite juicebar _ La Juiceria(Not an ad btw!).

As much as I love other juice bars, I guess what caught my attention is how the juices are prepared _ via cold pressing technique. From what I've read, cold pressing differs from normal juicing as it produces juice without producing heat that usually destroys most of the fruits/veges nutrients and that juices produce from this technique could be store longer as well! *impressed* Though it may not provide as many fibre, which IMO is still as important as they are removed in the middle of the process.

Personally have tried a number of juice concoctions from La Juiceria such as:

#1 Mint Lemonade

La Juiceria's Mint Lemonade

#2 Gold Glow, one of my favorite

#3 Cilantro Celery Punch _ another personal favorite and 4) Orange Power. There are 2 more tiny bottles there, I'll get to that bits in a short while~

Love the juices because they taste so refreshing and well, fresh LOL. Also, one bottle of the juice keeps me full so sometimes I just drink it as a substitute for my dinner before class. After consuming, I also realize I have better bowel movement too!

La Juiceria's Cilantro Celery Punch, Orange Power, Vital Shot and The Defender

I also tried the Power Shot ranges _those stuff in tiny glass bottles. There are two which is 5) Vital Shot and 6) The Defender.

Despite the size they tasted really concentrated_Vital Shot with super strong ginger flavor and The Defender with equally strong turmeric taste. Every sip got me grimacing. That yucky. But OKla, they're good for the body right? Once, I caught the flu bug and so decided to try the ginger juice and next day I'm runny nose no more. Can't be 100% sure that this play a huge part in it but I've read how ginger is indeed good for cold.

From the pamphlet (see below), it seems like previously they have the Skin Tonic for this range too but when I inquired about it, turned out is has been discontinued... I was like, Nooo 'cause I really wanted to try that (≥д≤ )

And oh, another point that differentiate La Juiceria from other juice bars is that they have their own Cleanse & Detox Program!

I've been wanting to try detoxing for a while now for two main reason, loose some weight and cleansing my tummy/intestine/liver. La Juiceria's detox program seems tempting since it only involves consuming fresh juices and they have combinations of fruits, vegetables and even nuts. I've also read several reviews from other bloggers who have tried La Juiceria's detox program and most of them seems pretty positive about detoxing with cold pressed juice.

Definitely to include in my to-do list though I really ought to check out my other to-dos before attempting for it(I'm trying to clear them off, one at a time!) But when I do, I'll definitely share them here with you ☆-(≥vO)

Till next time~!

25th July 2015

So I was reading through the TimeOut KL magazine, July issue and found an article on the various cold-pressed juice bars around KL, some of which also offers detox packages (In my blog post I mentioned only La Juiceria having their own detox program...). And oh, a lot of these juice bars offer delivery services too!

just finished my exam~!

taking exam~~


↑my sitting area in the exam hall


Yes~!ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ノ Just completed my JLPT N3 exam last week so I have slightly more time on my hands right now. So happy I'm able to check this off my to do list. For now. Result will be out around September so if I fail, I'd prolly to resit in December fml.


While it did went quite OK, I'm not entirely sure I'll pass because my classes up to the time I sat for the exam definitely haven't prepare me enough IMO. So that was why months before the exam I had to put in extra effort to cram in extra vocabs, grammar rules and kanjis into my head so much one week before the exam I just can't bring myself to flip through my revision book. Or even if I do, I'm just staring blankly into the pages. Brain fried (¬º-°)¬


So for the past few days, just taking some well-deserved break.


And yesterday my friend and I randomly decided to hang around KLCC to check out the book fair though we didn't get any. We're guilty for buying too many books but don't read them *sigh* These days I try not to buy new books/toys/anything unless I have checked off what on my existing to do lists first #2015goals


When it gets darker, we hung around KLCC's Symphony Lake just to enjoy the water fountains display. At night, the fountains are lighted up, programmed to perform in different motions which I find rather entertaining. Damn suapakkau wth but I like it~♪


Also I just got to know from a friend that they actually have the water fountain symphony where the fountain animation and lightings are synchronized with the music played. We managed to catch the show yesterday yayyy (*⌒∇⌒*)v


The timelapse I got of the fountain some other time~
