Mr Smoothieee for your health

There's a new eatery in town that's dedicated to getting you healthy in the most delicious way. On September 2, Mr Smoothieee opened the doors to its shop No. 7 in Southdale Plaza, along Constant Spring Road with a range of delightful treats.

Specialising in natural fruit smoothies, vegetable and fruits juices, gourmet sandwiches, salads and self-serve frozen yoghurt with extensive topping over 25 choices of toppings from an extensive topping bar, it's all you could ever need for a healthy lifestyle under one roof.

Mr Smoothieee Juice Bar and Café was established in May 2007 in Bronx, New York, before making its move to Jamaica with a second store. According to Chief Operating Officer Nicole Brown, "Mr Smoothieee was developed as a result of the current health-conscious and fitness trend in the world.

With the growing rate of obesity, diabetes and hypertension affecting our culture, we decided to enter the Jamaican market in an effort to make a difference to people's lives by helping them live and eat healthier."

All the smoothies are made from fresh fruits and fruit juices, using the wide selection of delicious fruits available in Jamaica year round in unique and creative ways.

They offer a wide range of smoothies for every desire - from dairy to non-dairy (no moo), detoxifier/antioxidant, breakfast meal replacement and immune system enhancers. Customers have the option of adding medicinal supplements to their smoothies including whey protein, soy protein, flaxseed, matcha green tea, vitamin C, and multivitamin.

There are also therapeutic juices geared towards people with ailments such as prostate, diabetic, high cholesterol, hypertension, and the common cold.

There is a smoothie that will be perfect for your breakfast, lunch or mid-afternoon snack. Among the offerings is the Usain punch, Think Guinness, baji, tiger bone, Irish moss, ginseng, cashew and oats.

If you have a sweet tooth, then their range of frozen yoghurts will do the trick. Similar in taste and texture to ice cream, it contains about 80 per cent less fat and has numerous health benefits, including being a great source of protein, calcium and B vitamins.

Mr Smoothieee is open every day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
