Four Cities in Four Days

Well, I can’t believe another week has gone by with four more cities checked off the US Book Tour list. I’m running on a natural high right now because I had such a fantastic week. It was a busy one because I managed to stop into four different cities on the east coast, met over 500 amazing and inspiring people, and juiced until my hands were about to fall off! Have a look at the journey I was on this past week. It was a memorable one to say the least.



First stop was Boston, Massachusetts.

I met so many wonderful people in Boston with incredible energy. It’s amazing how it can be so cold outside, but everyone is still so energized. Must be all the juice they are drinking! In just one night their juice bar made 80 juices and they used 65 pounds of carrots!

Tonight I met @JoetheJuicer! I’m a proud member of the juicing revolution! You are inspiring! #JuiceOn @RebootWithJoe pic.twitter.com/tEVMfh4ZLW

This might be my favorite slogan…







Another highlight…their dogs love juice too!







Then I headed just outside the nation’s capital to Georgetown. 



How great does Denise look? Ninety-nine days of Rebooting! Wow!







It was such a fun crowd — huge thanks to everyone who came out.











Bethesda was next on the tour. Barnes & Noble helped host a wonderful evening and I loved being in the kids’ secti0n! You can check out Winnie the Pooh behind me.  

What a setting don’t you think!? here at Barnes & Noble in Bethesda, MD! #joecrossbook pic.twitter.com/gTv9IBBEw4

The kids’ section was particularly nice for the young guys I had in the crowd. Good on these parents for starting them on their green juice early.







Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, was the last city I visited this week. 



And to end my week I had the pleasure of spending my morning on Good Day Philadelphia! I think I Mike and Sheinelle enjoyed me Mean Green!

One of my Camp Rebooters even came out to say hi! Good to see you Larry.







I also enjoyed meeting a new success story, Angel. A friend told her I was at Essene cafe in Philly and she hurried down just before the event was over & shared her inspirational Reboot story with me. She had a very successful 60 day Reboot, wonderful Angela Juice on!







Thanks again to all of the incredible people I met this past week. You’re the reason I love doing what I do. Juice on!



Don’t forget to catch where ‘ll b next week! Toronto, Detroit, Ann Arbor and Chicago!

Back in the New York Groove with My Book

It’s been a great first week for my book tour in the US. We kicked it off on Tuesday evening with a book party at the Reboot headquarters. Not only was the food all vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc. but we served fresh juices and had plenty of Evolution Fresh juices on hand too! It was also pretty amazing being  under the same roof with fellow health enthusiasts Dr. Fuhrman, Dr. Mark Hyman, Alex Jamieson and so many more.



Here’s a picture Alex Jamieson took during the night:

And another shot of me and the fantastic Dr. Mark Hyman:

Thanks to Evolution Fresh for providing so many juices to help keep the guests full of nutrients!

Then on Wednesday, we had an amazing turn out at the Barnes & Noble in Tribeca in New York City. A big thanks to everyone who came out in the freezing temperatures.

I loved meeting so many wonderful people. They tell me I inspire them, but guess what? They inspire ME!

Thanks @JoetheJuicer. I had great time listening to you.So motivational. I can’t wait for the movie. #juiceon ! pic.twitter.com/w0616ZGKji

Books, Bobbies & The BBC

Wow, what a way to start off my Reboot with Joe Juice Diet Book Tour. UK, you were amazing! Thank you to everyone who came out to all of the events, (including the bobbies I met in the photo above), listened in on my interviews, and took the time to introduce yourselves. I loved meeting each and everyone of you. You all inspire me every day! I’ve gathered a few pictures I shared on facebook and twitter throughout the week so you can catch up on anything you missed. Check it out and make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom so you can find out where I’ll be next week!



I started in London at a Whole Foods in Piccadilly.

We took selfies…







And I posed with fantastic guests who joined the event…







Next stop was Manchester.



I loved this sign! It was a great welcome into the event.







And once I got in there it was even better! I met so many people while signing my book.







Then I was off to Liverpool for a fantastic event at Waterstones. I think I may have met my youngest fan!

Great meeting @JoetheJuicer yesterday. Could this be your youngest fan? #nevertooyoungtojuice pic.twitter.com/FSZit3AOA9

JUICE ON!

Where in the UK Can I Find A Green Juice?

Where can I find a green juice?! I’m asked that question here in the UK almost on a daily basis from my friends and colleagues, and I love answering it. Because the good news is there are many more options than there used to be.  That means the wellness world is changing.  And I’m so excited.



London used to feel way behind when it came to juicing.  Especially coming from New York or LA.  Every so often, if you tried really hard, you could find a little juice bar with a couple of green options to throw in with some fruit.   But now, heading to an early meeting or after dropping off your kids at school, the choices are not nearly as limited. Wellness Warriors are beginning to take London by storm!



Joe is one of them! He is spending the rest of this week in the UK finishing up his UK book tour event, and while he’s been here he’s been on the hunt for juices. I shared with him some of my favourite places.



My favourite way to drink my greens is by stopping into Bumpkin (Notting Hill, South Kensington and Chelsea locations pretty much cover the majority of my week day territory!). They are now offering a range of delicious hydraulic, cold pressed juices, salads and soups.  I love that I have a place to go when I’ve run out of quinoa and vegetable soup a home!  At Bumpkin, they now have an alkalising braised celery, lentil, wild mushroom salad and chestnut salad.  Plant based goodness!  My go-to juice there is a Lean Green Machine.  This recipe, is packed with kale, broccoli, watercress, apple, lemon, lime, spirulina and ginger.



Another favourite is to pick up a juice at Grab and Go at Planet Organic  or Daylesford Organic. And don’t forget about Plenish juices. My favourite juice there is the Sweet Sexy Green.  If you’re feeling ambitious, while you’re at Planet Organic, you can pick up a Sage juicer to start creating your own recipes. Joe was actually at Planet Organic today. You can check him out speaking to the crowd here:







If you’re in other locations in the UK, keep an eye out for Crussh and Pret a Manger. Both are now offering cold pressed juices! Good Life Eatery is another great place to drink your greens.



Joe also stopped in the Wild Wood Café in London where he was sipping on his Mean Green.

Have a Green Juice @WildFoodCafe here in London….first green juice since landing! #happy pic.twitter.com/nOV0TOkfqd

And more exciting news to share with you about Joe…I can confirm that Joe himself has partnered with restaurateur Will Ricker to open a juice bar – the Juice Well. Look for it in May as the place to get your greens.



If you’re in the UK, where do you get your juices? Please share!

The Reboot with Joe Juice Diet Book Is Now Available

I’ve got exciting news. My new Reboot with Joe Juice Diet Book is now available in the US & Canada! It’s been available in Australia and the UK since the beginning of January and I want to thank you all for such a great response. We’ve already had to push the button on a reprint to keep the book in stock, and I’m excited to see such great reviews on Amazon and in our store (you can read a few below).



I’ve started the book tour in Australia and it’s pretty exciting to see my book sitting on book shelves. And even better, there are only a few left, which means they are selling fast. I was inspired to write this book because when I was touring the world to promote Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, more and more people were asking me for a detailed plan and for more guidance. So I realized I needed to write a book for them – something that would chronicle not just the juices and foods to consume to follow my plan, but which would also provide insight into what to expect emotionally, psychologically and socially as you start transforming yourself into someone healthy, vital and well. Now look where we are!



If you’re in the US, Canada or Australia, you can buy it now at RebootwithJoe.com and from booksellers everywhere. It is also available to purchase in ebook!



Of course the book includes all of our Reboot plans, transitioning-in and out information, and the answers to all your Rebooting questions — collected together in one easy to reference spot. I also share my personal Reboot journey and provide guidance on the psychological and emotional changes you can expect to encounter.



Some of my favorite success stories share their own personal accounts of transformation. I reckon hearing from others who have been able to change is one of the most motivating and inspiring tools to keep you on your path to health. Because if they can do it, you can do it.



Each one of us has the power to make our lives better. And by ‘better’ I mean ‘happier,’ so open this book and turn the page into a new chapter of your life. Some folks in the UK and Australia, who already have their copy of the book, have generously shared their feedback. Here’s what a few of them had to say:



“Best most useful book I have bought. It is now very well used with notes all over it.” -J. Belchamber



“Juicing works and this book is basically the A-Z of all things juicing. Most, if not all the info in the book is on Joe’s website, but to have all the info in one place, one book, is superb. Great recipes from juices to smoothies, soups, salads and treats. If you need to get your health in order and/or you need to lose a serious amount of weight. Buy the book, do what it says, and your life will transform.” – L. Mcfarlane



“I ordered Joe’s book the day it was available. It is so easy to read and even entertaining. The shopping lists and day to day plans make following a Reboot so simple. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to change their relationship with food and their reliance on the ‘fun part of town’!” – Melissa B.



“I bought this book to help me with my Reboot. I am thrilled with the straightforward and simple outlay of the book written in typical “Joe” style. Like “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead” the movie, this book has given me renewed enthusiasm to get into shape and feel well again. Thanks Joe and the Team.” – Jeannie H.



“I absolutely love this book. It not only covers the physical aspects of the Reboot but also the emotional side as well. Joe is very open and honest in the book about his own journey and the success stories are very inspiring – it reassures you that anything is possible. Thanks Joe and the Team for such a great resource.” – Lisa D.



Hope you feel the same way they do after you read your copy.



Purchase your copy today on our store or at your local bookstore.



Juice On!
