                          THE PORTLAND CHAMBER IS ON THE JUICE


                                                          Interview with Shelly Stuart, CEO/President at the
                                                                   Portland Chamber of Commerce


                                                               WHAT LEAD YOU TO PURCHASING
                                                                             A JUICER?
                                                         "The Portland Chamber of Commerce decided to get
                                                         a juicer for a couple of reasons. First, we wanted to
                                                         support  and  participate  in  our  Healthy  Portland
                                                         initiative  by  eating  smarter  and  that’s  not  always
                                                         easy,  especially  at  work.  We  didn’t  always  prepare
                                                         for the day by planning a healthy lunch so we usually
                                                         resorted to grabbing something that was quick and
                                                         easy,  not  always  healthy.  Second,  we  realized  that
                                                         juicing is one way of guaranteeing that you’re eating
                                                         more  fruits  and  vegetables  without  seeing  it  as  a
                                                         chore. You can mix up different ingredients to make
                                                         a revitalizing juice."



               Shelly Stuart and the Chamber Juicer
                                                          WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO SEE NOW THAT
                                                                      YOU HAVE A JUICER?
               "We  want  to  get  more  of  the  fruits  and  vegetables  that  we  needed  in  our  diet  but  wasn’t
               necessarily taking the time or effort to get. It is our hope that we feel better, help balance our
               diet  and  get  that  added  burst  of  energy  you  can  get  from  juices.  Hopefully,  we  will  train
               ourselves that on the days we aren’t going to be able to get to our healthy portion of fresh fruits
               or vegetables we can just grab a quick jar of juice for the day."
