Last Tuesday, I was at Winnipeg Richardson International Airport waiting for my flight to board. I needed a drink. I normally find a fountain to fill up my water bottle, or buy an iced tea or diet pop drink.
Things changed when I saw Green Carrot. It had smoothies, fresh juices, salads, sandwiches, and more.
A cold-pressed juice sounded fun. I had never had one. I tend to make smoothies at home with a celery base. There were two cold-pressed juices here that had celery in it. I opted for the E3 green, which did not have ginger in it.
I find that ginger wants to take over whatever dish or drink it's in. Just go away!
The E3 green had E3 live (blue-green algae), cucumber, celery, spinach, carrot, and lemon. I liked everything in it.
There was a woman in front of me getting a sandwich toasted up. Once she got her food, it was my turn to pay for my juice.
The woman behind the counter was friendly and great. She rang up my juice. It wasn't cheap. It was four cents shy of $9. Yikes!
That was the price to drink fresh cold-pressed juice. That's okay. It was my first time. I paid with a credit card. Done!
While waiting to board my plane, I had some. It was yummy. I could taste the celery, cucumber, carrot, and lemon the most. It's likely because I put all those items in my green smoothie. I barely tasted spinach or the E3 live. Perhaps that's all good.
It was a small bottle. I feel like I was savouring each sip to stretch out my $9 juice... haha!
The E3 green hit the spot. I should be able to save up for another one when I'm back in Winnipeg.
