Heal is a 100% vegan wellness shop that makes smoothies from superfoods designed to improve your wellness. Their carefully blended smoothies and smoothie bowls are sure to make your day a little healthier.

The açaí berry is one of the many super-foods which Heal uses in every one of their smoothies. Açaí berries are known to provide an energy boost throughout your day while also supporting the health of your heart, skin, and digestion. At Heal, every one of their smoothie bowls are centred around super-foods such as Açaí so that you can feel good throughout the day. Check out their websites linked in this article to learn more about their super-foods.

Heal’s smoothie bowls aren’t just healthy, they’re delicious too! These smoothie bowls made from all natural ingredients are both good and good for you. Take their superfood Dragon Bowl shown in the image below for example. This bowl is made by blending dragonfruit, peach, mango, agave & oat milk. This sweet base is topped with fresh granola, hemp seed, pineapple, kiwi, strawberries and coconut. This tasty bowl contains loads of vitamins and also protein thanks to the hemp seeds and superfood properties of the Pitaya (dragonfruit).

If you’d prefer something to drink rather than eat, order a smoothie! There are many original smoothie flavours at heal, including the Strawberry Sunshine and Blue Magic. Did you know that Matcha is scientifically proven to enhance metabolism, boost focus and reduce stress? Try these effects out for yourself by ordering a Green Matcha Smoothie made from matcha, spinach, mango, pineapple, orange, banana, and oat milk.

Lettuce Love is a café which aims to improve their customers’ health, happiness, and sustainability with a 100% vegan menu. Each one of their dishes are made from products which are sustainable, non-GMO, fresh ingredients and prepared with love.

The most common orders at Lettuce Love are their bowls, which are specifically designed to make you hale and hearty. For example, their Power Bowl ($17.25) is packed with loads of beans for protein, and their wellness bowl is loaded with root vegetables to give you lots of fibre.

At Lettuce Love Café, you’ll be able to purchase delicious burgers and sandwiches without feeling guilty. You’ve heard of a BLT, but now you’ve also heard of a BLAT ($13.25). This is a whole grain sandwich with coconut bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato.

You might be wondering why the burger below is plant based since it looks so much like the real thing. This is their Big Veg Burger ($17), consisting of two veggie patties, daiya cheese, pickles, and onions topped with their special secret sauce. It comes with a choice of coleslaw or potato wedges.

On weekends, Lettuce Love Café serves brunch! Stop by for your order for three fruity pancakes and a cup of maple syrup on the side. Try their avocado toast. Fresh avocado is mixed with arugula, tomatoes, house-made mayo, chilli flakes and almond nut parmesan. It also comes with a kale and cranberry salad.
