They are seriously one of the most delicious "fast food" places in Brisbane and they're healthy! Anywhere that has an acai bowl called the "Bounty Bowl" is on a winner, it tastes similar to the choc bar but none of the bad stuff plus it fills you up topped with fresh banana, choc coyo, goji & choc bukinis - they've got me sold to try the whole menu. Bring. It. On.

Well isn't this a conveniently located spot to grab a smoothie or cold-press juice after your…read moreworkout at the gym or, in my case, after a morning Pilates session? Knowing I had a few more errands to run before getting home and not having any snacks on me, I popped into Coco Bliss (my first time in any of their stores) for a refreshing smoothie to tide me over til I returned home. Upon the recommendation of a friend I opted for the Mocha protein smoothie. I think something that impressed me most is the choice of base for your smoothie. Don't want dairy - that's okay. For an extra 50cents you can have coco water, almond milk or soy. All about the dairy? Then they've got you covered with skim or full cream. The customisation continues with the ability to add extras in like L-Glutamine for aided recovery? Now, before you roll your eyes, I have no idea if old mate glutamine is actually aiding my recovery but hey it sounds good! Sure, this bad boy set me back 8 clams but I could have easily spent that on a coffee and muffin or slice of banana bread - not nearly as good for you post workout. My smoothie was delivered lickity split and I was on my way. If you're after a overly friendly level of service you may not find that here (based on my experience today) but the team are efficient and that works for me.

Who gets the flu in summer? Apparently I do. Whenever I feel sick I crave fruit juice and to my luck I spotted a juice bar called Juice Energy. Now at this point in time I was craving juice but also in desperate need of some energy so I figured this was the place to be. The man serving was friendly and shot me a sexy smile the minute I walked up. I opted for the Super C juice since it sounded healthy and like it might ward off my flu. He whipped it up in no time and all and my gosh it was tasty. I do love those juice bars that aren't your normal chain ones. For some reason the juice just tastes more fresh. They also had a range of pies, salads, and gourmet yoghurts available. You can't go past their juice though. I highly recommend it.

Quench is definitely my new favourite smoothie heaven!…read more I just ordered a Mangolicious Smoothie and a Tiramisu Thickshake. What I like about its smoothie is that the drink is full of delicious mango sorbet and for me, it's a great breakfast! Tiramisu Thickshake, after the first of sip in my life, I feel this is better than the original Tiramisu cake itself! So creamy yet still attaining its tiramisu taste! The shop is located in the heart of James St Market! Trust me, this is the greatest way for a lighter breakfast!

My friend had got a sandwich from the restaurant across the way, and he had already finished eating it before I got back with my smoothie - kinda ruins meeting up to grab lunch/a snack. I really have no idea what happened...it shouldn't have taken that long and they didn't act like it took long, no apology for the wait or anything. I had the mint berry tingle - apple, fresh mint, blueberries, peaches, lemon and ice. But of course I had to tinker with it, I swapped the lemon for lime - and I must say it was a good choice!

I love Nodo donuts and I do love their Newstead location, but the Nodo in CBD sadly fell a bit…read moreshort. They were busy that day as they were celebrating their 3rd year anniversary since opening, so there was a big line you had to wait in before being served, but the lady at the counter didn't have any knowledge about their other products that were selling. I quickly asked and pretty much got a "I don't know, I'm not sure." Plus a hurry up vibe. So I was just picking a drink and other food not knowing it's contents without properly looking because it was far away from the counter...once I picked out my drink and came back to the counter, my donuts were just pushed to the side and the lady just started serving the next customer, didn't say thank you or bye, didn't offer to print my invoice, so I was awkwardly picking up my items in the middle of them whilst the next person was ordering :| hoping it's just a one off because their donuts are great.

"Everything natural is good" opines the proprietor of this happening smoothie bar in the heart of…read moreWest End. As someone with some scientific expertise in what is natural and what is good, I find this is overly simplistic and misleading. Nonetheless, if you drop in, I suspect you'll find that it holds true for everything they have here. I have tried a few local smoothie places, and while this isn't the cheapest one, it seems clearly the best. Of course, anyone can throw some stuff in a blender; I suspect juice bars persist largely because it's difficult for most of us to manage the logistics of keeping fresh fruit at home. But here, they're not just doing the grunt work for you, they're bringing some serious skill to the table. Could I use dragonfruit and coconut and get something that looks and tastes like bubblegum? I'm guessing not. Could I duplicate their wondrous "whipped fruit", a sort of fresh coconut ice cream made right in front of me? Not a chance. Their creations are both delicious and innovative, and I've not found an average one yet (and I've tried quite a few). The proprietor says he's from Brazil, which would explain why he is so good with topical fruits. It's a neighborhood vibe kind of place, and there's a decent chance of free samples. If something is on special, I suggest trying it. Most of what they use is fresh fruit and nut milks and coconut water and they are mostly vegan (save for a few clearly labeled pastries), making this establishment friendly to most customers. Besides their smoothies and bowls, a mouthwatering assortment of salads and baked desserts beckons. I still haven't tried any of those for fear of getting addicted, and if it instead turns out that they're terribly underwhelming in some way, I suppose I'll go back and revise this place's rating down again. Doesn't seem likely.
