Top Juice is a chain of health food restaurants offering a large variety of yogurts, smoothies,…read morefruit, acai bowls, and more! I'm definitely a fan of the fresh and delicious (albeit pricey) offerings. I've had the passionfruit, strawberry, banana, and granola yogurt, as well as the chia yogurt pudding and the acai bowl, and everything has been just delicious! The yogurt they offer is thick, sour, and unsweetened, so the fresh fruit makes for the perfect pairing. The acai bowl has a base of a refreshing acai blend, and it's all topped with freshly sliced strawberries, bananas, blueberries, granola, and coconut shreds! Things here may seem pricey but are certainly delicious, convenient, and of good quality. I'm a fan!

They have a big selection of juices and smoothies, around the $5-8 mark. There was a lot of signage of a 'magic South American juice' and apparently if you don't like it they'll give you your money back. A very tempting offer, but I was about to scurry off so I just grabbed an orange and pineapple juice. At $5.40 it was on the cheaper side of juices I've been of late (seriously, cafes are charging through the nose!) but to be honest, wasn't the freshest tasting either. I think the oranges tasted a little old and didn't have a nice aftertaste. Hopefully just an off day...no pun intended. I think next time I will try their speciality mystery juice - at least if it's not up to scratch I won't have to worry!

A juice bar smack bang in the middle of Queen Vic market - one of Melbourne's largest and most vibrant fresh food markets - promises to provide some of the most amazing, seasonal blends of fruits and veggies that you could ask for. And it doesn't disappoint. Since finding this little spot, I've made it a destination each and every time I'm in the area.

Splash Juice is similar to the chain juice stores, however they quality is alot better, they don't overload the juices and smoothies with ice cream, so they taste fresh and fruity. The prices are also very good a large juice will only set you back about $5. They also have a a selection of sandwiches and salads they you can order pre-made or make your own!

It's a very simple concept: decide on what to scoop, grab a paper bag and write the corresponding number on your paper bag If you like to mix up your own muesli you will have a blast here, you could create some pretty incredible combinations that would almost certainly guarantee you a super power. One my brief visit I noticed lots of the trendy foods - coconut sugar, cocoa nibs, mesquite powder, hemp and many more to pimp your green smoothie or raw foodie creation. There's plenty of cooking ingredients too -- flours, grains, pulses and pastas. Up the back there's oils including olive, macadamia, cold pressed sesame (I'll be all over this next time) and raw coconut oil. And pay a visit to the corner of chocolate goodness, they have carob and couverture to name a few, and there's plenty of fruit covered options so it's healthy right? I could go on all day, save me the bother and check it out! Oh and grab an energy ball for the road. You've earned it.

I woke up Monday morning to an email asking if I'd like to "pop out to Happy Place this afternoon…read morefor a beetroot latte and a raw paleo cake." Who says no to such an offer? (Also: How positively Melbournian!) Upon arrival at this tiny shop on the outside of South Melbourne Market, I was immediately beguiled by the recherché menu. Gems from it include a shroom latte (medicinal mushroom powder, chicory root, dandelion, stevia, almond milk) and an 'I Love Oprah' smoothie featuring monga waratah, a shrub endemic to Australia that's purported to help one find inner strength. After a long peruse I ordered the Mexicano Cacao (raw cacao, cacao butter, chilli, black pepper extract, cayenne, coconut milk) for myself and a cup of the bone broth to share with my mates. The Mexicano Cacao was rich and nicely spicy. But the real winner was the wonderfully toothsome bone broth. I could easily drink a cup a day of this savory stuff. Happy Place isn't set up for hanging out, as there are no seats inside but it's a solid spot to grab a smoothie, hot drink or a light lunch (I loved the look of the seared ahi slices on offer in the salad case!).

I have two rather unexpected words for you: BONE BROTH. Who knew it could be so rich, filling and…read moredelicious? If you're feeling a bit bloated I highly recommend grabbing a cup of their $6 broth for lunch. You won't regret it. But Happy Place, owned by nutritionist Lola Berry and Salvatore of St Ali fame, is much more than just a good broth. Here you will find smoothies with Aboriginal leaves that can instil various feelings within you (think strength, wisdom, kindness), salads and proteins galore and lattes of all colours of the rainbow. I went for a turmeric latte, which warmed me up on a freezing June day, while my pals went for the Mexican Cacao, which was truly a standout (obviously I took a sip and then hogged it). It tasted a lot like a spicy hot chocolate. Absolute perfection in winter. While I didn't indulge, there were a variety of salads available for you to grab and go. Because Happy Place are good to Vegan folk, you add your protein separately - there are little cups of chicken, salmon and tofu available to add. While this is pretty much a takeaway place only (there are only a few built in bench seats available), it shouldn't stop you from popping by and grabbing a footpath bench to nosh down on your healthful goodies before you head into the market.
