I was on Selwyn running errands and wondering where I was going to eat lunch. Eating out now that my doctor put me on a dairy-free, hormone / soy-free, gluten-free, and corn-free diet is a bit of a challenge so I've been frequenting the "safe" places a lot and was hoping for something new to pop up. So when I was across the street and about to turn and saw One Life Raw Juice Bar I thought it would be worth a shot even it it was a "liquid" lunch.
Much to my delight, not only did they have creative juice and smoothies but also a few solid (you guessed it) raw food items too. I ordered something called the "Un Stir Fry" which was like an asian stir fry but thankfully made with their housemade almond butter (very creamy) instead of a soy-based dressing. It also had rice from turnips and delicately seasoned avocado, veggies and mushrooms. It was exactly what I needed and it's so nice to have another option.
Turns out I hit them during their "soft opening" (they gave me a first timers' discount) and it looked like they were adding menu items like "taco tuesdays" and more so I look forward to trying more things there. They clearly are very health-oriented and the menu explained various health benefits but the menu also didn't denote what things were organic and which weren't, so I suggest adding that.
The place is small but has a few tables and a counter at which you can sit. I wish the best to One Life!
