Sugarleaf Brings Us Healthy Choices

 Healthy Choices by Sugarleaf formally opened in Greenhills.   Sugarleaf… foods that nourish expands its mission in  providing Filipinos and expatriates better living and eating with Healthy Choices.  Healthy Choices is a store that showcase  things related to health and wellness.  Renown sports newscaster and health advocate Ms. Dyan Castillejo and MTRCB Chairperson Mrs. Grace Poe Llamanzares graced the occasion and cut the ceremonial ribbon with Healthy Choice's main man Rman Nepomuceno Lorenzo. Rman shares “It’s been an exciting journey but well worth the wait! Healthy Choices by Sugarleaf, is finally open! With the continued patronage of our loyal clientele; increase in new customers eager to live more healthily; and the forging of new partner-ships–most significantly the one with the La Trinidad Organic Practitioners, we felt that it was time to differentiate the mini-mart concept from dining. We now have a more consistent supply of certified organic produce at more reasonable prices!

 “What started with a few of our original partners eager to join our expansion has now grown to a variety of small and big companies, home-based entrepreneurs, importers and distributors. We’re showcasing products for health and wellness from organic super probiotics from Japan to open-sea raised bangus from Mindanao to bee products from New Zealand to organic raw chocolate bars from Ecuador, said Angelo Songco.  “Some have taken sizeable spaces to showcase a variety of products like Gana Vida and Rezostar while others showcase a few but fast-becoming-popular items like natural peanut butter with malunggay,  Forzudo’s maca powder, chia seeds and even Lois Alog’s L.A. Feng Shui Solutions’ healing crystals and stones–really an interesting array of products for everyone of all ages!” 
The mini-mart in their  Makati branch at the MEDICard Lifestyle Center will also be converted  into Healthy Choices very soon and bringing a wider variety of products to the central business district. 


I'm a regular at the Sugarleaf  Medicard Makati branch, it is where I get kefir and some organic vegetables, it is my first time to visit their pilot branch, which is in Greenhills and may I say, it is one tremendous idea putting the organic and health-giving store alongside a nice cafe which serves more healthy menu picks.
Here are some of the goods that you can find inside the Healthy Choices...

 Organic vegetables, food supplements, honey, superfoods, teas and more.

Here is where you can find raw cacao or chocolates added with essential herbs or superfoods.

 

 Craving for some unusual Ecuadorian Chocolates?

Jello's kefir Ice creams, frozen breads, organic frozen meats fill up the freezer smacked right in the middle of the store.

Demystifying Superfood with Raw Food Chef Mona Lisa Neuboeck

Heard of super foods?  You might say it would be absurd to link it to Superman's diet.   I guess it's a possibility.  But if you're as curious as I am, let us check out The Beauty of Raw with 'Demystifying Superfoods' with certified Raw Food Chef and Health Educator Mona Lisa Neuboeck at Sugarleaf, MEDICard Lifestyle Center on 12 May, 230-530pm.

Join a group aiming to live healthier on a three-hour class that will focus on the countless benefits and preparation of recipes focusing on powerful healing properties of imported and local  super foods.

According to Mr.  Songco, Marketing and Business Developer of  Sugarleaf, Inc.,  super foods are vibrant, nutritionally dense foods that have recently become widely available and which offer tremendous dietary and healing potential. It's going to be a lively and  informative class  where raw-food chef and instructor Mona Lisa  profiles delicious and incredibly nutritious plant products such as goji berries, hemp seed, cacao beans (raw chocolate), maca, spirulina, bee pollen, and a host of local Philippine super-foods, as powerful sources of clean protein, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, good fats and oils, essential fatty and amino acids, and other nutrients.  They represent a uniquely promising piece of the nutritional puzzle.  Each super food is described in detail, and the catch,  generous servings of Mona Lisa's easy and delicious signature recipes. 

This fun and educational class introduces persuasive arguments, based on sound science, for the important role of superfoods in promoting nutritional excellence, health and well-being, beauty enhancement and the transformation of diet, lifestyle, nation and planet.
