Today, our guest speaker was Juan Pedro ("JP") Rubio, proprietor of The Protein Spot located at 111 W. Front Street in Wheaton (next to the Little Popcorn Store)
Located in the heart of downtown Wheaton, The Protein Spot offers smoothies, shakes, fusion teas with aloe (“good for digestion!”), green tea, and B complex (“good for our brains!”). The store also offers healthy snacks and with 18 fusion teas on the menu, they also create special off-the-menu items for their regular customers.
Much of his presentation dealt with his life journey. He talked about his early years working on the family agave plant farm in Jalisco, Mexico. He left farming to enter the ministry, studying for six years to become a priest. Life led him in another direction, and now he and his wife Pamela are the owners and operators of The Protein Spot in Wheaton.
