| - I've been here for 2 meals in the past 24 hours - that's how good it is.
I've shopped on occasion for groceries here. There's just something calming about the pristine clean floors, freshly spritzed kale and dandelion, and array of colourful fruits and veggies. It's as if your hind brain thinks it's discovered a garden oasis with an unlimited food supply adjacent to a stream of cool, fresh water.
Yesterday, I decided to venture further into the oasis and discovered that not only did the scared deities of this garden provide the raw materials for you to craft your own meals, but they also offer food already prepared to perfection by applying the golden ratios and using ancient spices that I imagine are similar to those that were gifted to Baby Jesus by the 3 Wise Men.
I've explored the hot foods mix-and-match $2.50/100g (?) carousels. I've elected for the buffalo chicken salad, curry chickpeas, salmon, apple quinoa, normal quinoa w/ the blueberries, and mashed potatoes. They all tasted fresh and flavourful. I would recommend grabbing a bowl and just trying a bit of everything. My friend and I shared a bowl of random dishes and it came to $10. We were both satiated and in awe of the freshness that we had just consumed.
To add to my hippie resume, I've tried bottles of the GTS Organic Raw Kombucha - the green one with spirulina and the orange one with ginger. They both taste pretty decent - I don't know how to describe the green one, but the orange one tastes like gingerale. The macros are good too - at 480mL, they're 60 Cal, 4g of sugar. As with all things probiotic, there's not enough research to prove that they have a significant effect on your gut microbiome, but it doesn't hurt to try, and whatever makes you feel good makes you feel good.
Pay the Whole Foods garden oasis a visit. It's pricey, but you're essentially extending your life. And you can't put a price on that.
