Quarantine Day 14: I guess it's the California girl in me but there's nothing that makes me feel healthier (mentally at the very least) than a smoothie bowl plus some sort of green juice. 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. read more
