Unimaginable juice combinations at Healthy Juice

Healthy Juice (Mong Kok)

This juice joint is located in Mong Kok, an area that I avoid dining because the food is weird.
But sometimes, the weird creations in Mong Kok can be good!

I was attracted by their avocado and apple juice but there was no avocado that day so I had to choose something else!

The fruits and vegetables were the usual ones until I spotted okra!

Okra and guava:




There was actually more than one cup in the blender so she poured some of the juice in the cup and told me to drink some before pouring the rest in.
The guava was quite sweet and the juice was extremely viscous because of the okra, however there could have been more okra in proportion to the guava to taste it, but okra is probably expensive which is why they only put three in there.

Okra, beetroot and cucumber juice:

Before ordering this drink, she asked if I have tried beetroot before because it tends to give people diarrhea and upset tummies.
I was more suspicious whether the beetroot has been washed because that is more likely going to be the cause.

The taste of this was much better than the guava but again, there could have been more okra, and there were bits of grit in the drink too.
Anyway, this drink was nicer because it was thick with natrual sweetness of beetroot and the refreshing taste of cucumber!

Blended strawberry & apple juice @ Mr Fruit

Mr Fruit (San Po Kong)

During the winter, this Juice bar serves hot Chinese soup.

The logo and decor is quite attractive with white fonts and sliced fruits that represent the DOTS.

Ordered the Freshly blended Strawberry and apple juice.

They tried to recommend the Asian Pear and strawberry but I do not like Asian pears so I stuck to my choice.

Apple and strawberry juice:

The colour of this blended juice was quite nice, it was redder than my expectation.
They CLAIM that it is unsweetened but you can actually taste syrup in it.
Despite the fact they claim it is unsweetened, they still put a tiny amount so that it does not taste so sour in the bid that the customers will come back.
Overall the taste was quite nice but I did not like the artificial sweetness.

Next time I will probably try the blueberry and apple or another combination.

greenie meanie Five green juice @ Juice Bar

Went down to the Food republic because I needed a drink, there were three drinks that were interesting.
Five green juice, Cane sugar juice and Frozen matcha.
The Five green juice was the healthiest, the Cane sugar juice was tempting because you can add lemon or aloe vera to it, and the Frozen Matcha was just for its taste only.

 

 

 

In the end I chose the Five green juice which is the healthiest but not really worth its value because you can make this at home providing you have a juicer.

They also had Rose milk which I found disgusting.

Five green juice:

The five green juice were five green vegetables and fruit juiced together, to be exact four vegetables and one fruit: Celery, bittergourd, cucumber, green pepper and apple.

Here goes the greens to be juiced

 

 

It was nice and frothy on top when I got it.

 

I asked for it unsweetened, it was bitter as I expected. I could not taste the apple.
All I could taste was the bittergourd.

Starfruit juice @ Bon Bon Tea

Not many places have starfruit juices today unless you look for them.
It just so happens I saw the starfruits in their cabinets so decided to get some starfruit juice.

 

 

 

 

 

As this was a Taiwanese beverage shop, I asked for the starfruit juice not to be sweetened incase it was and the girl at the counter said it is just juice so it shouldn’t be sweetened.

Starfruit juice:

 

When I got the juice, it was really sweet and obviously it had been sweetened.
Water was also added because you can taste it was watered down.
