The next best thing to Freshly squeezed Juice!

My Goodness! Where do I start? Okay, okay, let me contain my excitement! As most of you all know, I’ve been losing a lot of weight by juicing my fruits and vegetables. I strongly believe that juicing is the cure to obesity! With that in mind, I must admit that juicing is time consuming and expensive. One day I was in the Whole foods store, on the hunt for a suitable replacement, for days when I’m just way to busy to cut, slice, wash and prep veggies and fruit to put into my juicer! After all, I am a mother of 7 for goodness sakes! I ran across the Raaw foods juice line and decided to buy one. Cut to a week later, when after tasting such greatness, I wanted to know more about the company and their line of products. I reached out to the company and they graciously sent me a sample of each of the flavors. I thought that the Passion Fruit Wheat grass that I had purchased in Whole Foods was the Bomb.com, but surprisingly, that ranked almost LAST compared to the other flavors!! Unbelievable! My two favorites are the Strawberry Purple Carrot and the Carrot Lemonade! They are so good that you almost think that you are messing up on the juice fast! Even so, the taste of these drinks are important yes, but more importantly to me, is that they be Free of Genetically modified ingredients, gluten free, and vegan! They passed my test in all categories! I also love, LOVE the fact that they are made from carefully selected fruits and veggies and contain no added SUGARS or preservatives! I’m so happy to tell you that I used all of these juices during the last leg of my recent 10 day juice feast/fast, and lost an additional 5lbs! They totally replaced my normal breakfast and lunch juice blends, and gave me the energy I needed to power through my water zumba classes! When I felt weak, I would just head to the fridge and grab one and drink and instantly I would feel better! No time wasted prepping, cleaning and juicing!  I want to add right now that you all KNOW that I’m a Christian and that I would never tell you guys a lie about anything! This review is my honest opinion, I was not told what to write. I will be using these juices for as long as this wonderful company continues to make them. I’ve already posted my joy with a picture of one of the juices on my instagram and twitter. I’ve even shared my juice with my 5yr old twins, and as picky as they are..they LOVED it! What a great healthy alternative to sodas and soft drinks! Please, I’ve been getting asked so many questions about juicing, go out and give this company a try, and let me know what you think! Or just tell me why you are interested in getting started juicing. If you are not ready to juice for days at a time, you could use these to replace a meal and be just fine! Also, go on over to their face book page and like it,  and then tell them Mrsbabyfat sent you! Here is the link to their page, sorry I don’t know how to make it clickable on this blog, but just copy and paste it. http://www.facebook.com/RAAWJuices

     Just by doing those two things, liking their face book page and leaving me a comment here on this post, you will be entered into a giveaway for a prize package that will allow you to sample all of the juices for FREE! I will randomly select 3 winners by the end of next week to have samples of all of their flavors delivered right to your front door! Thanks to the amazing folks over at Raawfoods.com, this giveaway is made possible and with shipping is worth over 50 dollars!! The giveaway will end on September 7, 2012. I want to give all of my wonderful subscribers a chance to enter! Good luck to everyone!!:)

    Hey Chanda, I have been on a weight loss journey as well. I like to juice but I was looking for an altenative to use some times. I believe that this raaw juice is exactly wat i need. By the way you are beautiful and you also have a lovely family.

  2. Achanti says:

    Thanks for the opportunity. Ive been watching your vids for some time now. Weighing in at 400+ and tying to lose for so long, I know how hard it is to find something that WORKS!!! I’d like to try the juices in hopes of finding another option my weight loss journey.

  3. Amoure says:

    Chanda, I really think it’s awesome what you are doing for yourself which means you care about yourself and your family. I am always inspired to see women of my size who are taking a stand at losing weight and making it happen. I can see the passion in your eyes for wanting to lose this weight and I pray for you and others like us all the time. I’m also a larger framed woman and since Feb 14th of this year I’m down 71+lbs and still going – taking me from the 400′s to the 300′s with hard work and dedication.
    I’ve never thought about juicing but I do feel that incorporating fruit and veggies in raw form are a great way to keep your nutrition factor up. I try to eat fruit and veggies for every meal and it’s been working for me. I get the energy and stamina I need to work out harder and I get all my vitamins and nutrients.

    Thank you so much for your videos and this giveaway. Blessings.

  4. Hey lovely,

    I would love to try the juices because I too am on the journey to lose over 250 pounds! I am happy to know there are people out there like me on this journey as well… Which ever way it goes stay blessed!!!

  5. Yvette says:

    Need a kick. Need to get started again with juicing. I know this can work. It did in April however it has been so hard to get started again. Hoping that if I like the Raaw juices, it will get me started again.

  6. Qia Woo says:

    I just started juicing but I find it so time consuming I would love to just grab something quick when I’m in a rush!

  8. Shanelle Farr says:

    Hi Chanda. I want to say I love your blog and your videos. You. Are. Awesome. You’re an inspiration.

    I’ve lost about 55 pounds so far but I still have around 80 to go to reach my goal weight. Winning the juice samples would sure help ;)

  9. Dee says:

    Hey Chanda, girl I’m rooting for you all the way. I really would love to try this line of Raaw juices because I no that I need to drop this weight. I have plateaued for over 7 months and can’t seem to get my self back on track. please consider me for the Contest. Thanks in advance.

  10. Erin Carter says:

    Wow. Some of these juices take things I don’t care for in their raw and individual state and seem to make it the star (ex: wheatgrass lol) so I can’t wait to try them and see if they make me a believer. I LOOOOVE juicing but it can be time consuming – this looks like a great on the run substitute on days when you just don’t have time. I realize it doesn’t compare to fresh juicing because you lose many benefits with time but I’d still be open to giving the next best thing a try. Thanks for intro-ing these Chanda – I had never heard of them before your video. :) Blessings! XOXO

    Hi, I’ve never seen or heard of this line this sounds like it’s great. Well I’ve considered juicing but never got the motivation to do. But after trying alot of other things I’m feeling confident that this is something I can pull off. I just recently got a juicer and I’m loving it so far I can’t tell any results just yet but I’m putting in alot of walking with this and now you tell me about this company ha ha great now I try to have raw juice while I’m on the go. I hope to be able to try this soon.

  17. Tamara says:

    Hello I let me start off by saying I am so blessed to come across your page because you have become my inspiration. I am only 20 years old and I weigh 265,yes 265 and I am trying to lose this weight but its hard. I have always been big and its really ruining my life because I’m always depressed when I should be enjoying my life and enjoying college. Even if Im not picked for this giveaway buying these products will be a new beginning to my weight loss journey. Thanks again for being my motivation and congrats on your weight loss <3.

  18. Hey Mrs.BabyFat thanks for doing this giveaway, even if I am not one of the lucky 3 winners of the giveaway I am still going to have to try these. They all look so yummy. I did the juicing fast for a few days. I think now I am going to have to do it again. Thank you for getting me going once again :)

  19. Stephanie says:

    I’ve been interested in trying their products for a while. I had no idea they came in liquid form. I first saw an advertisement in a magazine I received at my last visit to the VitaminShoppe, but it was in powder form. I’m a big time juicer and have been juicing since college, but lately time has become an issue. With my busy schedule I find myself getting up at 5:30 in the morning to prepare my breakfast and lunch smoothies. I’ll be good for a minute then I fall off. Having these in fridge would eliminate some of the burden. Glad to see you’re back on track!

  20. Patience Brown says:

    How much weight have you lost to date chandra? Im still behind ya girl, believing in you. You are so positive.

  21. Emilly andujar says:

  31. Brittany says:

    I am so inspired by your putting yourself out there for the whole world to see. It takes a strong person to take the criticism and praise you do on a daily basis. I would love to try the juices you mentioned in this post. I am getting where you are in your weight loss journey. No more excuses. I have done everything else that a “successful” person in the world would want to do except for be healthy so now is the time for me to do it. Love you with the love of the Lord!

  32. Amber says:

    Sounds like amazing products. I would love to try them if they taste delicious and could help me reach my weightloss goal. I am soo close to achieving my goal weight and maybe juicing could help

  33. Eve Grenon says:

    I have been trying to juice my dinners every night after we get home from the gym and by that time I am just too tired (been trying to get those workouts in since your 100 mile challenge) so needless to say, I only have been doing it a day or two a week! I am very interested in these RAAW juices. How fresh are they and are they refrigerated when you buy them?

  34. Michelle says:

    I would first like to commend you on doing such a GREAT job!!!! I have been contemplating starting a juice or smoothie fast but haven’t gotten up enough courage to do it. After reading your blog and watching you on YouTube, I think now is the time. You have motivated me to stop putting it off and start today! Thank you for being such an inspiration to us.

  35. Tawanda says:

    Well, I am still trying to lose more weight but it’s at a stand still. I was 260 and now my current weight is 212, and it will not move down for nothing in the World. You have inspired me to try the juice and commit to it. I am willing to do my best to get healthy, because on February 19 at 7:30pm I had a heartattack at the age of 40 and was revived back by a paramedic. The heartattack damaged my heart which is only functioning 23%. I am wearing a external diffibulator to shock my heart back just in case it stops. I am taking plenty of meds, light exercise, and no salt to try to heal this old heart of mine. It is not easy, but God saved me for another job for him to complete here on earth. I have been through some things and still going through it, but without God I couldn’t see myself accomplishing my many achievements and goals. On August 28, 2012 the test will show that my heart is healed functioning 50%, no internal diffibulator in Jesus Holy name Amen. I apologize when I start my testimonies I just can’t stop.

  36. Patricia Hernandez Rankin says:

    I juice on and off for about a year.. Love it but it tends to be expensive.. Like you.. I too have a lot of kids.. (6).. So sometimes its not economically within my budget.. I would love to juice a couple times a day every day and eat a healthy dinner.. Sooooo.. Im ready to do this.. Being diabetic and getting this weight off would be a dream come true.. You know the struggles of being a food addict so no need to explain.. But being a food addict and a diabetic is definitely a deadly combination.. Lets all lose this weight forever..!!

  37. Theresa Slemmer says:

    I’m very interested in trying the Raaw Juices. I’m morbidly obese and trying to lose weight with eating processed foods isn’t working for me. I need something that’s simple. I’m not giving up on my journey that’s for sure. Your doing an amazing job on juicing. I hope to be as successful as you.

    • Chanda says:

      Thnk you! It really is a blessing that God gives us all we need to get healthy! We have just got to be dedicated and disciplined!:)

  38. Alaina Brown says:

    Wonderful info can’t wait to try this.I have been wanting to juice but being a working wife and mother of three kids 2 being one year old twins I thought I wouldn’t have the time.thanks for this review

    • Chanda says:

      No problem! I have twins so I can relate! These juices are a better alternative to the naked juice line because they have been found to be using Gmo items!:(

  39. Annie says:

    Mrsbabyfat…I have been following you know almost a year. I would love to juice but I can’t right now. I have been working on getting this weight off of me. In the past I would work out every now and then. Sitting around is not going to take it off. When you told us about the 100mile challenge for the month of July it lit a fire under me. I enjoy going to the gym but I can’t always make it so I make it my business to walk 1-2miles a day outside so if I get to the gym great more work out for me. If I don’t make it hey I did get 30-60mins of walking in. I have been doing well with that but I have to get this eating right. I use Lose it app on my phone to log my food and work outs everyday. I miss breakfast a lot because of my sleeping schedule. or some days my work outs add to my calories for the day and at the end of the day it says I didn’t eat enough. With these drinks it will help me with 3 meals 3 snacks a day to give me a balance. I don’t have a scale at home and they don’t have one at the gym so I don’t know if I lost anything in this last 30days but my short term goal is to have these clothes big on me come 12-12-12 That is my big day. Cheering you and I on to getting this weight off.

    • Chanda says:

      WTG on your lifestyle change!! So proud of you! Thank you for being a long time supporter of mine, that really means a lot to me! I’m cheering us both on as well!! Keep me updated on your progress please!:)

  40. ~Victoria Archilla~ says:

    Hello, I would love to try the Raaw juices! I am a total Sodaholic. And Im around 70 lbs overweight. So Im looking for an alternative to soda that tastes good and satisfies. Maybe the Raaw juices are my answer :)

    • Chanda says:

      Girl ain’t no maybe, lol!! Leave those sodas alone! Today! They are no good at all, and you will lose weight within week of giving them up!:)
