Sip, and a Giveaway for Vegan for $4 a Day


Are you wondering what it is? It's juice. It's called the Get Up, and it's a blend of carrot, apple, orange, and pineapple juices, freshly squeezed. Mine had ginger added.


You get it here, at Sip, a juice cart in SE Portland. It was my first visit.


You order at the counter, and they make it right in front of you. I'm going back ASAP for more. I want to try the Summer Breeze, which is apple, cucumber, pineapple, cilantro, and lime. This juice is amazing.

  10. I love sip and I was so thrilled when they opened a new cart near me. And so as not to be in competition with Back to Eden, which is across the street, they don't have milkshakes on their menu at the NE location. I thought that was super nice. (not an entry!)
