1⁄2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
1⁄3 cup mini chocolate chips
2 tbsp ground coffee or unsweetened cocoa powder, (for energy + flavor)

Married people live, on average, two years longer than their unmarried counterparts.

When it comes to health, married people have an edge, especially married men. Why so? Women tend to take the lead in promoting healthy behaviors, benefiting their husbands. Data suggests that men and women in same-gender relationships tend to engage in teamwork to mutually promote positive health behaviors.

I’m often asked why I recommend Juice Plus+®, and the answer is simple: it’s real food, it’s incredibly clean, and it’s one of the most researched nutritional products in the world.

Here’s what makes it different:
1. It’s real food.
Juice Plus+ is made from 30 fruits, vegetables, and berries grown specifically for the company to maximize nutrition. It’s harvested at peak ripeness and gently dried—so you get concentrated plant goodness your body can easily absorb.

2. It’s cleaner than organic.
All J+ products are NSF-certified for purity—tested for heavy metals, pesticides, mold, and contaminants. Very few products meet this standard. Only the highest level of scrutiny has both NSF Sport, for elite athletes, and the NSF logo right on the label.

3. The research is exceptional.
Human studies from 30+ universities, on four continents, resulting in 50+ peer-reviewed published papers all show clear benefits: less inflammation and oxidative stress, better antioxidant and vitamin levels, improved cardiovascular markers, healthier skin, lungs, muscle recovery, and more.
The studies are high quality—randomized, placebo-controlled, and published in respected journals over the past 30 years.

The science is so strong that the NIH is funding a $10 million study using Juice Plus+ to explore the microbiome, Alzheimer’s prevention, and heart disease. That says a lot.

4. Kids get it free.
With any adult order, a child or young adult ages 4–26 receives Juice Plus+ free , I love that.

And about cost:
For $2.67 a day—less than a cup of coffee—you get clinically proven plant nutrition. It’s far more research-backed than multivitamins, and far less expensive than the cost of poor health.

Once you see the science, and feel the difference yourself, you’ll understand why I take it and recommend it so confidently.
