After removing my surgery dressing and sharing the experience in my previous post, a colleague who used to work at a clinic recommended that I drink spinach juice with a squeeze of lemon to help with recovery. Taking her advice to heart, Hubby and I decided to take advantage of a rare Monday lunch out (since I work from home on Mondays) and walked over to our local The Juice Truck.
📍 Restaurant At-A-Glance: The Juice Truck
- Location: Vancouver, BC
- Cuisine: Plant-Based Juices, Smoothies & Wellness
- Drinks Ordered: Deep Green & The Peanut Butter Cookie
- Vibe: Bright, Health-Conscious Neighbourhood Spot
I ordered the Deep Green, a nutrient-dense blend of spinach, kale, carrot, cucumber, orange, lemon, ginger, parsley, turmeric, chlorophyll, cayenne, and black pepper. Hubby went in the opposite direction and chose The Peanut Butter Cookie smoothie, made with banana, peanut butter, plant-based vanilla protein, date, and oat milk.
My juice was undeniably healthy, but taste-wise, it was pretty intense! Drinking it felt almost like taking medicine. My mistake was sipping it slowly as if it were a smoothie instead of simply chugging it down for maximum efficiency.

Fortunately, Hubby’s sweet and creamy Peanut Butter Cookie smoothie served as the ultimate chaser to my earthy, bitter green drink. Paired with fresh sandwiches picked up from nearby Purebread, it turned into a lovely Monday lunch treat.
