Just Green is Discovery Bay's organic, natural, and otherwise healthy store. Now the question is, why would some one like me even know that such a place exists?! It's a valid question, one that I'll answer for you.
There's a lot that people say when it comes to a Gluten Free diet. It's good, it's bad - blah blah blah. I thought I'd give it a try after reading about the benefits. It was tough going because it meant no beer, bread, or pasta! Obviously I lost a bit of weight BUT I had never felt more energetic, healthy, and focused. Just Green helped me along that path. I started going when I noticed they had pure chicken sausages (no bits of pork or artificial stuff), at $62 for 4 pieces it was not a common purchase. However, after going in for the sausages I was curious to see what else that had... and it was a lot!
Walking into Just Green is like walking into a room that just brewed a coupe gallons of strawberry tea, that's what it smells like anyway. There are meats on the right as soon as you enter, some gluten free, sugar free healthy snacks on the left. I have not done my research but all the products appear at first glance like they are good for ones body and the world. Around the corner is an interesting spot, I've spent a fair bit of money here. This section is dedicated to organic and natural shower products and a whole range of supplements, pills and that sort of thing. I usually skip by that and go straight to the spices, herbs, and other small ingredients that I'd never find in a supermarket.
Just Green is not the cheapest store and it's hard to justify that with the argument of paying more for food now, or more for medical bills later. All I know is that the less gluten, sugar, and meat I eat the better I feel. However, cutting them out is almost impossible with my lack of will power but having a place like Just Green available really does help the cause! read more
