Clean and Lean Cafe is a supporter of clean eating - using unprocessed, unsweetened, quality ingredients that are organic and in season. Wholesome food that makes you feel good from the inside. My kind of food. I had just eaten breakfast at Daylesford and was wandering around when i came across Clean and Lean a few doors down. I just went in for a look but after being found out for being Australian by a super lovely Australian girl working there, we were chatting and she mentioned that they did great Acai bowls. I am a sucker for a good Acai bowl and hadn't had one for a while so despite not being hungry, I decided to get the Nourish Me bowl on Ruby's recommendation. For 8 pounds, I got the most delicious bowl topped with granola, almond butter, hemp seeds and fresh blueberries and raspberries - heaven! The acai was thick and didn't melt which is rare! I haven't had one with almond butter before and it gave the acai an extra creamy feel. Clean and Lean also had some great looking salads and sweet treats on the counter which I would have been tempted by, if I had been at all hungry. They also do Paleo toast, if that's your thing. I was also assured that their coffee was good too, but I can't vouch for that! Yes Clean and Lean is one of those super healthy places filled with fit looking people in their activewear but that doesn't mean that their food isn't delicious. Because it is.

This Holland and Barrett is crap. They have a crap tofu section. There are no good veggie products…read morein this location. I stopped here thinking of Tofu stir fry for dinner and couldn't find anything except Cauldron which doesn't even do a non crumbly one. Some Holland and Barretts have a decent selection of protein although looking for firm tofu to grill is a tall order. This one is a bit crap because they didn't even have the usual sandwiches or fake meat slices. Just a sorry freezer case. Rats.

I generally do not use Holland and Barrett that much unless I want non specialty items as I find…read morethem lacking in choice. All Holland and Barrett stores appear to stock the same so when I needed some Ester Vitamin C as my usual delivery did not arrive, I thought I would get it here. I was pleased to find they had some on sale. I bought two bottles saving over seven pounds. The guy in this store was unusually pushy for a Holland and Barrett and tried to sell me some vitamin E that I really did not need. The Ealing store is quite small for this chain. On the occasion I was there, they had huge savings on their supplement range. I still prefer Natures Best or Fresh and Wild though.

I think this makes it a typical example of all those lovely little places that make up our daily life. They are fairly unassuming but we'd be lost without them. Portobello Wholefoods is tucked away in a dark corner under the railway bridge, at weekends you barely notice it. During the week it provides the perfect addition to the fruit and veg stalls along Portobello Road. They stock everything you'd expect from a decent health food store at OK prices. One of the highlights for me includes the large selection of loose teas; I'd be lost without my fix of vanilla or mango tea in the morning! You can go hardcore with green and herbal as well, of course. All tastes and dietry requirements catered for.

Coming here makes you feel good about yourself. It's a mini vegetarian/organic haven selling…read moreeverything from a small selection of fruit and veg to more specialist meat-free/wheat-free/gluten-free/dairy-free/anythi ng-you-like-free food. Sometimes I find shops like this can be limited, but Wholefoods always seems to have exactly what I'm looking for. I mainly come for the amazing choice of vitamins and supplements as although I'm not a vegetarian I really don't see the point of taking something that's meant to be good for you, but actually has weird animal additives added or is encased in a gelatin shell (last time I checked boiled animal skin and bones really don't do anything for you). Also, I've met a lot of different staff and they are all eager to help with their wealth of knowledge on all things healthy. It's probably a tad more expensive to shop here, so you should stick to getting your more mundane items such as dried fruit from the supermarket, but for something a little bit special it's perfect. Why not try the gelatin free raspberry jelly or the fortified mineral water (you take your own bottles to fill and pay by the litre). Another great idea is that they don't automatically give you carrier bags at the till. There are a few used ones available if you really need one, but why not follow their lead and bring your own canvas bag to fill up.

There are rows and rows of pills and supplements, plus specialist foods for allergies/intolerances as well as lots of food, lunch type stuff plus a full bar of virgin health drinks. My only complaint: I got some Echinacea in here once. I spoke to the man who worked there and read the instructions, it was going to prevent colds and I was never going to have to insert a Vicks stick anywhere ever again. However, only a month or so later I had a cold and had to buy Kleenex and insert a Vicks. Rubbish. Other than that, A-OK.

Used to spend quite a lot of money there to support a local business but they don't seem that interested in keeping their clients. Also I once asked if the shampoo was any good and he said "we are a health shop and don't keep things that are not good" which I found not very helpful. "I don't know, i haven't used it" would work better for me. So if you decide to shop in there make sure you don't come in with toddlers as they are not welcome.
