Hands down the best juice in Winnipeg! I've tried several places and Fruit de la Vie is the by far the freshest. I can never get great photos for the gram in time because I can't wait to feast. Save yourself the mess at home and order your juices here.
My recommendations for juice are Down to Earth, Pineapple Glow and Holy Melons. My plant based food recommendations from here are the salad rolls, watermelon "tuna" poke bowl and mushroom banh mi. The first time I tried the watermelon poke bowl, I couldn't believe it wasn't tuna. A dish like this provides more options. Don't get me wrong, I love my chu toro and salmon maki rolls but I'm more aware and want to learn more about industrial farming and how our choices impact our environment.
Their juices are stored in glass bottles and not plastic! They have a recycle program where you can bring your glass bottles back to the shop and earn rewards toward your next visit. Before you complain about having to keep your glass bottles, think about the amount of plastic the shop prevents from landing in our oceans. Jeline, the owner of the shop is not only passionate about nutritious food but truly committed to minimal waste.
The shop is located near central Portage. My only wish would be that they have more locations. Fingers crossed for one near my work, where there are too many fast food chains in the area. Having a place like this in the area would be delightful!
Do yourself a favour, stop by the store and check out their amazing products while they put together a feast for you. You'll feel great from the fresh food and that you supported a...
Read moreFirst of all I'm not normally a "juice" person, so my opinion is that of an off the street person trying it.
Le Blanc Sprouted almonds, cinnamon, maple syrup vanilla, pink himalayan salt, alkaline water. Kind of like Horchata. It was good, but I'd have to be in the mood for it.
Down to Earth Kale, romaine, lettuce, cucumber, apple, celery, orange, lemon I didn't think I'd like this since its kale and such, but this was the one I finished. Its not that I dislike kale, I guess its the thought of it in a drink that I wasn't sure about?
Le Bleu Sprouted almonds, blue majik (aka spirulina), maple syrup, vanilla, pink himalayan salt, alkaline water Not a big fan of spirulina, and this drink didn't make me like it anymore... but if you want to be healthy, apparently this is a great thing to drink.
Total Eclipse Activated coconut, charcoal, lime, lemon, maple syrup, alkaline water I took the info off the bottle. It should probably be activated charcoal unless its activated coconut water charcoal? Anyhow this was "ok" for me, but this was my friends favorite (She's into juices/cleanses etc)
Citrique Grapefruit, orange lemon Tasty. As good as the Down to Earth one.
250 ml between $5-6 500 ml between $9-11
They have other foods but I didn't try them on this visit.
It is located on Portage Ave. I believe its street parking mostly. I didn't notice anything about a...
Read moreI really wanted to give this place a 5star. We stopped by about 3 weeks ago, eager to have some proper food after a 3 week drive around the country and needless tto say we got nothing but disappointment and lots of filterd water and sugar. The juices from the fridge have more water than actual fruit/veggies The smoothies were 3 quarter ice. You make a smoothie with milk (obviously vegan) or coconut water, or tea, that's where you get the consistency and smoothnies from ,and definitelynot 3 part of any if tbise but the fruit should de more and liquid,and definitely not 3 part ice! The smoothie bowl, same thing! Extra ice! We also got some dish with noodles and veggies, we had noodles noodles noodles and a spoon of veggies! And sugar! There was a mushroom sandwich, too much sauce! The butternut soup was the only good thing here. I recommend they read some books, blogs, visit some vegan restaurants and improve their food/drinks. I've never had such bad vegan food, I guess making money on water it's...
