Now that Mother Nature has figured out her seasons, and summer has finally fallen upon us. Many things come to mind, bathing suit season, tank tops, & eating more healthy. Freshii is just the perfect place to get my healthy on. This brightly coloured eatery is just the place, to get you to start feeling energized. Broccoli greens, Eggplant purples, & Mango yellows, are just a few of the brightly coloured pictures you will see on the wall table of super foods. Dana & Harjinder Shergill this husband and wife team are taking the health game and juicing it up with style. Freshii is located in Hamilton Ont. and has many choices for your well-being. Salads, Wraps, Burritos, Health Bowls, Smoothies, Soups, Juices, and the list goes on.
The concept of Freshii, which most of you have already guessed, is to energize your inner body. Embrace new things as I read the large writing on the wall of inspiration. The menu names are great as well, as you order I am sure you will find your inner SOUL. My Buddha’s Satay Bowl was full of rice noodles, bright broccoli, carrots, cabbage, crispy wontons, green onions, and a spicy Peanut sauce. Just looking at all the colours of the rainbow in my biodegradable bowl was fascinating. This Buddha Satay had just the right amount of satisfying flavours with a tangy peanut bite to it. My Zen salad was delicious as well, again similar to the Buddha bowl but with crisp fresh romance lettuce and an Asian dressing. You also have the choice of adding a protein to any of your dishes from chicken,tofu steak, or falafel and the proteins are hormone free. A little bit of history of the Freshii brand, it goes like this. A fashion designer from New York City noticed plenty of fresh food family delis that were opening up, and he wanted to get in on the action, but with a twist of course, and the Freshii brand was born. Freshii educates their clients to eat well, with one step at a time. Smoothies & juices are made fresh every day for a quick grab n go for clients. I had a green energy juice and it was packed with kale,spinach,romaine lettuce, green apple,cucumber,carrot & lemon. What a way to wake up and strengthen your inner body. Freshii soups are a fantastic quick fix. My Spicy Lemongrass soup was a large portion of spicy lemongrass broth with thick rice noodles,cabbage,carrots,tomatoes,mushrooms (which I told her not to put in, I’m allergic) and cilantro. This soup was full of pure robust flavours, and wholesome ingredients. Freshii also considers the kids I love that, with a kids menu. My son ordered the Fung Fu Bowl such an awesome name.
This bowl was full of broccoli,chicken,carrots,crispy wontons & edamame, you have a choice of brown rice or rice noodles, we decided to go with the rice noodles and then a Kung Fu Kick with sweet teriyaki sauce. Now most kids may not like broccoli, but my son loves it and enjoyed this Kung Fu Bowl not just for the name but for the taste as well. Freshii also donates a portion of their proceeds from selected menu items to “Energize the World” helping around the world to building school kitchens,& vegetable gardens. I was glad to help out by the zen bowl I ordered. A very rewarding charity. I went into Freshii thinking it was another health food eatery, but instead was greeted by staff, educated on fresh and different ingredients to get you motivated, and was taught to eat without regret. I might have gone into Freshii feeling sluggish but came out feeling revitalized. Most people may think healthy eating is a major chore, but it’s all the small changes you make slowly on a daily basis and before you know it, your eating habits have changed for the better. It’s everything in moderation of course. From designing beautiful garments for your outer figure to designing beautiful fare for your inner body. Eat, Love, Embrace, and Energize.
