Stop Drinking Your Calories (And Calling It Healthy) 🥤🚫
, by Kiana Admin, 2 min reading time
Let’s talk.
Just because it says “natural,” “organic,” or “no added sugar” does NOT mean it’s healthy.
I love juice. Obviously. I built The Bossy Me around it. But let me be clear — not all juices are created equal. And as someone who studies food, health, and compliance… I need y’all to understand what’s really happening when you drink certain “healthy” drinks.
🍎 Whole Fruit vs. Fruit Juice
When you eat a whole apple, you’re getting fiber. Fiber slows down sugar absorption. It protects your blood sugar. It helps digestion. It keeps you full.
When you drink apple juice?
The fiber is gone.
The sugar hits your bloodstream fast.
And your pancreas is working overtime.
That “healthy” 16 oz juice bottle? It can contain the sugar equivalent of multiple pieces of fruit in one sitting. That’s not balance. That’s overload.
🥕 So What Makes TBM Different?
At The Bossy Me, we don’t just throw fruit in a bottle and call it wellness.
Our 2 oz wellness shots are intentional.
Measured.
Balanced.
Functional.
Take our signature shot:
Carrot 🥕
Orange 🍊
Key lime 🍋
Ginger 🌱
Turmeric ✨
Black pepper 🌶️
Seamoss 🌊
A pinch of salt 🧂
Every ingredient has purpose.
• Ginger supports digestion.
• Turmeric (with black pepper for absorption) supports inflammation response.
• Citrus provides vitamin C.
• Carrot adds beta-carotene.
• Salt supports mineral balance.
It’s not about flooding your body with sugar.
It’s about supporting it.
đź’Ą Wellness Is Not a Trend
Juicing became trendy. But blood sugar is not a trend. Inflammation is not a trend. Metabolic disease is not a trend.
And in our communities especially, we have to stop normalizing high-sugar beverages disguised as “health.”
If you’re going to drink your calories, at least know what you’re drinking.
Ask yourself:
• Where is the fiber?
• How much sugar is in this?
• Is this balanced?
• Is this a supplement or a sugar bomb?
👩🏾⚕️ Food Is Information
Every time you eat or drink something, you’re sending instructions to your body.
Spike.
Store.
Burn.
Repair.
Inflame.
Heal.
Be intentional about the message you send.
At TBM, we’re not just selling juice. We’re educating. We’re empowering. We’re building a culture where wellness is intelligent — not aesthetic.
Boss up your health. 🧡🏾
Read the labels.
Ask the questions.
Protect your body.
Because being “bossy” about your wellness?
That’s discipline. That’s power. That’s self-respect.
