Energy Shack makes eating healthy easier. I haven't tried any of the programs yet, but in the future I would love to consult with a nutritionist. They offer free consultations. Staff is very friendly and I love seeing the staff working together as a team. There's lots of options to choose from in terms of the juices and I love the small details such as how information regarding the benefits of each is added next to the description of the ingredients. I really enjoyed the Japanese Fried Rice and my favorite drink was the Aloha Omega. It was refreshing and the taste of the mango & coconut cream was strong (which I loved!) I'm looking forward to try more in the future.

Carolyn, the owner, is a qualified dietitian/nutritionist, who would be guiding people to pursue healthy vegan eating as per their dietary needs. It could be for detoxification, weight-loss, thyroid etc etc. She is an enthusiastic professional. During the event, Carolyn could find time to speak to every guests present at the event and explain the concept, gave us some really good tips, which we would not know otherwise. We also tried a lot of samples of fresh juices and smoothies. The price of each item as compared to any other gourmet juice bars is competitive. She has lunch programs with delivery options and a lot of unique offerings. We tried almond milk, detox smoothie and some other healthy smoothies, everything was delicious! The lunch was all vegan nachos topped with chilli, cheese, sour-cream, salsa and some salad. She surely proved that healthy eating does not have to be boring or tasteless! She does complimentary counselling for her customers. I am definitely going back there!

Recently, ZeeV's Nutrition Studio followed my Instagram account. I checked it out because I…read morewondered why on Earth it would want to follow my account. I figured it out. I like drinks with either no or low sugar, if possible. This place has loaded teas with no sugar and ingredients to boost your energy. It sounded too good to be true. I was intrigued. I had a chat with the person behind the account. I found out later that she's the co-owner of the business with her husband. They are both extremely nice. Last Saturday, I decided to check the place out. I ordered online and it was easy. I paid and I got an estimated time that my drink would be ready. It generally takes fifteen minutes for them to make your drink. I ordered the mermaid loaded tea. It's blue and orange candy in liquid form. Perfect! I drove over to the store. The plaza was exceptionally busy at noon. Parking was atrocious. There's a restaurant with outdoor seating that was packed, which explains one reason why. There's an HSBC and even parking in front of that was booked solid. I ended up parking on the other side of this bank and made my way over. Note to self: Avoid dropping by on a Saturday. I found the store. It was fascinating seeing Chinese characters in the store name. I opened the door and a man welcomed me by my first name. It was such a nice gesture, making me feel like I matter as a customer. My drink looked so pretty on the counter. He was helping a woman who clearly had more questions than a decision. She just kept firing them at him. Between pauses, she looked at me taking photos. I am indifferent these days to folks who stare while I set up my photo shots. I just looked at her briefly and continued doing my thing. The interior is so cute. I especially loved seeing Grogu (baby Yoda) on a bookshelf. I have the same one, so I knew that it was a good sign. When the female woman left, I chatted with the co-owner. He asked me how I found out about this place, I let him know. He advised that his wife handles their Instagram account. It's a family-owned business and I love their concept of creating nutritious teas and shakes. I am far more interested in their loaded teas than shakes. They are cold, have zero to 25 calories per drink, are loaded with vitamins and healthy stuff, and have no sugar. Yay! Their shakes range from 200 to 240 calories. I thanked the man and walked out with my humongous drink. It's half a litre! It thankfully fits in my car's drink holder. It has been a while since I have sipped a drink that makes my tastebuds dance. I loved this mermaid drink. It was beautiful to look at, but I loved the slight sweetness with the tangy orange flavour. So good! It's like taking blue and orange Jolly Ranchers and melting them into a drink, but without the sugar or calories. This drink lasted my entire day running errands. I also didn't feel exhausted driving to Cambridge, while making stops in Mississauga and Markham. I am still trying to figure out when the cutoff is to order drinks online. The place closes at 6 pm. Yesterday, I placed an order online at 4:25 pm and my pickup time was for 9:15 am. Weird! The owners are so nice. I messaged them and asked if I could pick my peachy passion loaded tea this morning at 10:30 am. Yes! Sure enough, I got there at 10:30 am sharp and there were tons of parking spots. Quite the change compared to my first visit. Note to self: Head here in the morning on a weekday. The same man greeted me. I thanked him for my drink and happily headed out the door with my drink. I love the peach passion drink. It's so good. Goodbye, Starbucks iced peach green tea. I have found the perfect alternative without the sugar. I am a huge fan of the loaded teas that I have consumed so far. I feel like I need to try everyone one and see how I feel. I am grateful that this place reached out to me. (305)

Ital Vital serves vegan / plant-based Rastafari (Jamaican) food that's wholesome and made from…read moreall-natural ingredients, a key trademark of the Rastafari practice (diet consisting of plant-based ingredients). The daily menu options consist of small or large-sized containers that you can fill with the dish choices of the day. You get to choose the base (quinoa, brown rice, rasta pasta, or split peas roti) and choose between 2-3 stews depending on the container size you select. All the stews that we've tried are excellent: Curry Chickpeas, Eggplants Stew, Callaloo, Sautéed Cabbage, Curry Cauliflower, Stir-Fried Vegetables, Ital Kidney Beans Stew, Pumpkin Stew. Every meal comes with plant-based BBQ spareribs. Other mock meat / plant-based protein options are vegan chicken (my favourite), vegan fish, and vegan shrimps. My favourite stews are the Callaloo (they use kale here), Ital Kidney Beans Stew, Pumpkin Stew, Stir-Fried Vegetables, and Sautéed Cabbage. My favourite mock meat / plant-based protein is the vegan chicken - love the texture and seasoning. All the foods served at Ital Vital taste wholesome, healthy, and delicious, using all-natural ingredients without any preservatives. Portion sizes are just right; meals from Ital Vital are always filling and satisfying. On top of that, bonus for those who dislike or can't handle spicy food: none of the dishes are spicy (which is great!). You can always add hot sauce on your own if you want a bit of a kick. Sometimes they have daily specials such as Vegan Shepherd's Pie. They also offer desserts such as Cassava Pone Slice, Coconut Cream Cake, Spiced Carrot Cake, Vanilla Cheese Cake, and Sweet Bread (contains nuts). We tried the Cassava Pone Slice - it was quite dense and it actually did taste like cassava without being overly sweet. The place is small and caters to mainly take-out. There is limited parking right in front, but you can park on the small street just beside it (to the left). It's also accessible by bus / public transit.

When you order, you can order a protein box which comes with two items of choice for small or three for large plus a grain + the vegan BBQ ribs. So for example, I got the large box with caliloo greens, curry chickpeas, and a vegan fish. I love getting the roti wrapper as I can make it into a giant burrito of tasty delight. They also have daily fresh juices. I've tried a bunch and honestly have been impressed everytime. It is worth the $5 for the juice. They also offer vegan desserts in house. The owner is super sweet. They no longer have indoor seating, but they set up a cute seating area outside the establishment. Just a note, please do not wear any items containing real fur into the establishment as a courtesy.

Tropical Recovery and Brain Food are def the best smoothies at the retail locations. They have OJ 1l for a great price -- the best in Toronto. Their Chaga apple cider is also excellent, as is their Fireball. I love their Turmeric Sunshine juice, and all their bottled fruit juices. The green juices -- here's my issue. They put kale into almost all of them. Kale is high in thallium. I was drinking one of their green juices before getting serum thallium tested at WCH (your family doc can't do this test). My blood was high very in thallium both times and both times I had just had a VJ green juice. The doctor asked if I ate kale and said I should cut down. I do NOT eat kale, and VJ juices are/were my only source. Please add dandelion, more cucumber, celery! The kale is obviously not safe even in tiny amounts. I refuse to drink any juice with kale anymore, so I have been buying it elsewhere with dandelion as the main leafy green. Sometimes they make a lot of errors on your order, but they always fix them -- it's just time-consuming. I love this place, just please ditch the kale! I know it's a cheap green source, but it is NOT healthy.

Naturally I ordered an Acai Berry Bowl a Kiwi Kale Detox smoothie. This was an UberEats order from a little farther - it took 19 minutes to get to me so I was expecting a bit of meltage but not as much as what I got. I was pretty much having a thin berry soup. The smoothie base seemed very watered down. I wonder if it was because it was juice based instead of some sort of dairy (or alternative dairy) milk. Interestingly some of the toppings came on the bowl while others were on the side (the chia seed and ground flaxseed). It was okay. Not the best smoothie bowl I've had. As for the smoothie, it had a flavour I really wasn't expecting. If you've had green juice or green smoothies I think you kind of know what you're expecting - a lot of "green" or like chlorophyll/leafy taste with some sweetness from some sort of fruit. The listing of ingredients for this sounded like the typical formula. It just tasted very different than what I was expecting. I'm wondering if it was the protein? The protein is unflavoured but protein has it's own taste. This one was again, just okay. The regular size was more than enough for me. My boyfriend's main was the Boneless Chicken Wrap. His comment to me was that the chicken was incredibly dry and difficult to eat. My bite was actually alright, it tasted fine and wasn't that bad. He told me I stole the only bite that was good lol. There isn't a ton of selection in Toronto yet for health foods like this so I'd give this place another try. They have other locations throughout the city so I might hit up a different location.

(I initially ordered the passion fruit green tea but was told it can't be ordered with half sugar since it's a syrup-based beverage...ew.) Well, both drinks were still sickeningly sweet and just tasted gross overall. They were so bad that we chucked 'em after a few sips. And now I realize--though I should have figured--that not all bubble teas and related drinks are created equal, or even close. This location ranks way at the bottom IMHO.

Visited this cute little Filipino bake shop nestled in shops at don mills…read more They sell Filipino sweet treats and baked goods. Pandesal, cake slices, coffee, cookies, cheesecakes, and a small select option of savoury food as well. For baked goods I walked out with: - Ube cheesecake: it was moist, Ube packed flavour with a hint of creaminess from the cheese. Enjoyed it. And read good reviews about it prior to ordering it so that's why I chose it :) - Ube crinkle cookies: a basic Ube crinkle cookie, not too sweet (which is great) and powdered with sugar on the outside. Ube flavour is mild not too overpowering, moist and fluffy cookie. Would recommend as well! - Spicy chicken empanada- buttery crust, soft and falls apart because the crust is so buttery!! Stuffing was generous, chicken flavourful but I didn't find the inside spicy. One is enough for one sitting. I would like to try other flavours as well. Service - friendly. Fast. Efficient. $$- I would say some of the items are quite pricey for what you get e.g. turon for $5, cake + coffee slice for $10-12, I think that I've found other bakeries to be a little more cost friendly. But assuming because this one is more franchised, Perhaps why prices are higher (?) Would overall recommend this place especially if you'd like to share Filipino sweets culture/food. They do sell cakes and party platters of desserts which is also a bonus. Would recommend to try!
