I started with a Tropical Smothie made with banana, pineapple, blue spirulina coconut milk and peppermint. It came in about 3dl glass, beautifully decorated with edible flower petals and tasted delicious, although I might have preferred it to be slightly thicker, less “watery”. For my main meal I chose Falafel Hummus Plate.
This was more substantial than I expected and again looked beautiful. Five 50-cents-sized bites of falafel were served with a generous dollop of chickpea hummus, a big portion of mixed salad and a couple of slices of warm pita bread. The salad included the usual greens, tomato, cucumber, shredded carrots, but also goji berries, and pumpkin and sesame seeds for an added crunch.
It was tossed in some lovely, creamy dressing giving its flavour some extra depth. As I recently joined the gym for the first time in my life (thanks everyone at FitCub who keeps cheering me on day after day!), I became more mindful of what I am eating even when I go out. And this was definitely a great choice! In fact, the salad was so filling that I asked to take away what I could not finish.
That was my dinner sorted as well then. Meanwhile, I still left some space for a dessert..
. This time it was all in the name of research, of course! Looking at several choices in NU Market’s glass cabinet, I opted for Vegan Banana Bread topped with almond cream and sliced berries. It was another great choice, generously sprinkled with bananas and walnuts, soft, moist and absolutely divin.
