Thirsting for a Bite

In a time of everything instant, life has been set in a faster pace. More people find themselves on the go, and a fast food chain is usually the best venue to abate hunger pangs in a jiffy. To catch up on this seeming need for immediate access to food, some entrepreneurs have put up juice bars around the metro that offer a healthy menu matched with swift service. Mondo Juice is one of those juice bars in the Metro Manila area that cater to people who want healthy food in a split second.
Mondo Juice is founded on the beliefs of healthy living. Its operations manager, Jonathan Kui, adds that one of the reasons they built the juice bar is to simply make healthy food more accessible and enticing to diners. But this doesn’t mean that it’s an ordinary juice bar, for it still has some things up its sleeves to make healthy eating an exciting task than it usually is.
For starters, Mondo Juice sources its fruits all over the world with their natural freshness still intact. This is made possible through the Individual Quick Freeze (IQF), a process that freezes fruits swiftly, which helps maintain the fruits’ original structure. Through this, fruits stay fresh even if they travel from one continent to another.
Aside from this, the juice bar also prides itself for churning out fruit smoothies containing more authentic fruit content, instead of fillers such as sugar, milk, and syrup. A 22-oz single serving of a Mondo Juice smoothie has a 1/3 pound serving of fruit, which meets the minimum five servings of fruits and vegetables per day recommended by the World Health Organization. The smoothies are then usually poured into recyclable transparent plastic cups.
Oh, and don’t make the mistake of calling their blended drinks as shakes, since their products are strictly smoothies. A shake, in its essence, is a dairy and sugar-filled beverage. On the other hand, smoothies are fruit-based and are blended along with yoghurt and fruit juices.
If things get a bit too fruity for you, Mondo Juice also offers a wide array of grilled sandwiches to cater to your palate. Take your senses into a cultural ride with their sandwich selection—from the BBQ Pork Sandwich harmonized together with a sweet and sour Asian sauce to the Mediterranean-inspired Turkey Pesto Sandwich, among others.
Mondo Juice has outlets in SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, and SM North Edsa, with an upcoming branch in Ali Mall. For more information, please visit www.mondojuice.com.
