Vibe SuperFood: Berry Good Parfait, Pesto-mania, and more!

Vibe SuperFood

Gone were the days when I can eat anything yet I stay slim and fit. Since I gave birth and now that I'm 30, it has gotten harder and harder to lose the 30-40lbs I accumulated since 3 years ago. The best solution is a change in lifestyle.

Around 5 months ago, I went back to dancing through attending classes. I love dancing so it was easier for me to incorporate it in my current lifestyle. Exercise, or dancing for my case, is just one thing. Diet, or food intake, is another equally important factor. Yet, look around, restaurants everywhere where I get tempted to eat more.

Vibe Super Launch

Thank God for Vibe Superfood -- a small yet trendy cafe at Life Yoga Center in Burgos Circle, Taguig. Just last October 13, 2016, they launched their new superfood-infused menu.

Superfood - a nutrient-dense food where you can get more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Eg. salmon, ginger, malunggay

a vibrant cafe

Have a look at their menu and be tickled by the wittiness of the music-inspired dish names. It's easy to see how healthy your food is as the ingredients are listed there. I also like that there are indicators if a certain dish is Vegetarian, Gluten-free, or Protein-packed. So yes, vegans are welcome here!

During the Vibe Superfood Super Launch, we get to sample some of these healthy dishes. I had to include some pictures from Vibe so you can get an idea of the actual serving size.

samplers

Pesto-mania (230Php)

Malunggay basil pesto, parmesan, chicken, whole wheat pasta

Pesto-mania sampler

I love pesto and this Pesto-mania was just oh-so-good! It had a creamy sauce and a not-overpowering pesto. It says it is a malunggay basil pesto but I didn't notice the malunggay taste at all -- which, for me, is a good thing.


Pesto-mania	Bologneezy

Bologneezy (280Php)

Three kinds of mushroom, stewed tomato, whole wheat pasta

Bologneezy sampler

Bologneezy has this true tomato taste, not the sweetened type nor the kind you'll get from tomato paste. It didn't had meat and I'm amazed the mushrooms sufficed (given I'm not so into mushrooms).

Salmon Like You (200Php)

Salmon, red onions, romaine

Salmon Like You sampler

Salmon, onions, lettuce, and bread...boom -- Salmon Like You. It was that simple, but it was good! Salmon was fresh and very evident.


Salmon Like You	Berry Good Parfait

Berry Good Parfait (240Php)

Chia seeds, coconut, honey, matcha, cacao nibs, yogurt, banana, berries, mango

Berry Good Parfait sampler

Berry Good Parfait is very superfood-packed. Just look at it and the list of ingredients. Eating it is like shouting, "I feel so healthy!". The toppings gave different flavors as you get to finish it. There's sweetness, sourness, at times blandness but hey, those are all the natural flavors. The yogurt here made use of coconut so do not expect the usual tangy yogurt taste.

Yo-Yo Ma (200Php)

Melon, banana, mango, yogurt


Yo-Yo Ma sampler	Yo-Yo Ma

Yo-Yo Ma is the safest pick for the smoothie. I love that it is not sweetened nor made extra sweet, and it is definitely refreshing. Though I am also interested to try the other smoothies with malunggay or ginger.

Dried Fruits

Dried Apple

While waiting for the event to start, we were served with these Dried Fruits and wow, they're amazing! I can't stop munching them and these are fruits! Perfect healthy snack.

healthy snacks!

Who says healthy can't be this good? Vibe Superfood just made nutritious food accessible, affordable, creative and fun! It's eating and enjoying without the guilt making it easier to switch to healthy living.

I'll be trying out some yoga classes here at Life Yoga Center soon! So far, I'm impressed with their artsy studio and serene view. Will talk about this more once I've tried it.
