Besides the fact that they are 100% raw & cold pressed, made to order, and are free from additives, they also come in interesting flavours. Think Choco Sutra, Chai Express and Longan Loco.
Longans are one of our favourite tropical fruits. A Juicery hit the nail on the head by infusing those sweet and juicy longans into a base of cashew milk.
The end product? A decadent healthy and sweet treat that relieves insomnia while keeping a healthy heart.
A Juicery5) Gorilla Press
Gorilla Press’ Nut Mylks are made from a blend of almonds and cashews, resulting in a perfectly rich and velvety nut beverage. They use the traditional hang-squeeze and double-filtration method to produce their nut milks. By doing so, they retain the maximum nutritional values in their products. Lightly sweetened with medjool dates (one of the healthiest natural sweetener in the world), a bottle of nut mylk from Gorilla Press Co is packed full of energy and hence, makes a really great pre-workout meal or snack. Inspired by their Asian roots, flavours such as matcha and black sesame are blended into their nut milks to give them that extra oomph and creaminess. Ditch that green tea latte from Starbucks and give their matcha nut milk a try! Gorilla Press Taking such great care in perfecting their product formulations, the end products are a collection of high-quality and nutrient-packed beverages. A great dairy-free perk-me-up from HIC is their coffee nut milk. It’s a really simple blend of almond milk, cold brew coffee and medjool dates. Now, you can perk yourself up the healthy way! HIC Antidote has stated that they choose their ingredients really carefully and use only top quality raw nuts in their beverages. The result? Nut milks pumped with body-loving superfoods. A bottle of nut milk from Antidote is essentially a body-fueling nutritional powerhouse. So abundantly filled with nutritional superfoods, a bottle is great enough to fuel your body for a workout, or until your next meal. Antidote’s Real Cacao Milk consists of a blend of almond milk with superfoods such as raw cacao, maca powder and cinnamon. Unlike the usual chocolate milks that are filled to the brim with sugars and preservatives, Antidote uses raw cacao to give their nut milk that rich, chocolaty flavour. Raw cacao is also extremely rich in antioxidants, so ladies, drink more of those to retain that youthful look! A bonus: Maca root powder helps to keep you in shape by regulating the fat distribution process in your body! Antidote

Something to suit the local palette – their quinoa goreng is definitely a dish that is lighter and healthier than the traditional nasi goreng.
What an interesting choice of grain to substitute the Jasmine rice that is used in the usual nasi goreng.

As interesting as these two words – Poke Bowl – might sound, it is essentially a raw fish salad.
At A Poke Theory, they serve fresh, marinated cuts of salmon and tuna with a base of either their Signature Sushi Rice, brown rice, lemon herb quinoa or romaine lettuce. It is then topped off with a mix of toppings such as avocadoes, roasted cashews and furikake.
Finally, a salad that isn’t boring.
A Poke Theory You can see from the generous amount of food in each bento – they are sure to fill you up until your next meal. Their Chicken Breast Sausage & Protein Waffle Toast that comes with oozing melted mozzarella cheese from their brunch menu is only 367 calories. What are you waiting for? Lean Bento With 5 outlets in the CBD area, they are the perfect choice for those who’d like to eat clean and good food. What got our attention though, is their offering of soba salads with interesting Japanese inspired dressings like yuzu, teriyaki and sesame. Here’s a meatless soba salad with sesame sauce and wakame. So light and refreshing, your body will thank you for it! WHEAT Baumkuchen A little cafe located in the Telok Ayer district, Sarnies serves up some pretty mean sandwiches. But what really caught our attention was the Cocowhip. It’s like a froyo, but not so much like one. Made with only coconut water, vegan stabilisers and organic bio-fermented coconut, this frozen dessert is vegan, gluten and dairy free. Try their Cocowhip Breakfast Bowl. It’s creamy and delicious Cocowhip topped with a fruit salad and a medley of nuts & gogi berries. We won’t say no to healthy and delicious “ice-cream”. Sarnies Each of these bowls have been concocted with goodness in mind so you can indulge in them without feeling guilty. Sprout offers a range of salads, incorporating flavours from different cuisines. The Korean Chicken Bowl consists of chicken breast meat that was marinated with kimchi and accompanied with shiitake mushrooms, carrots, Japanese cucumber, and a soft boiled egg.
