I've been on a bit of a health kick this year, and started really caring about what I put into my body.
It's since affected the way I cook, the food I order, and the types of food I pick, when buying groceries.
It's not always easy, of course...after all, who can resist the tantalising smell of fries, wafting through the air on a cold autumnal night? That said, there's so much joy in just eating fresh, healthy produce that leaves your body feeling so clean and well. I made a date with my friends Evelyn, Yan and Bev to visit Green Press, a small health foods bar tucked in a corner of Lt Collins St. We sat down with some smoothies and Açai bowls on their open-aired deck, and marveled at finding a gem of a place like this right smack in the middle of the CBD.

We got the berry smoothie with spinach, almond milk and vanilla essence. Together with the açai bowl (which was packed with the goodness of açai, cacao, coconut flakes and muesli), it made for such a filling start to the day!
I noticed that I stayed full from this meal for much longer than usual, and felt very energised throughout that day.

Here's us taking a quick browse through the shops in the arvo:
This episode with the yummy Açai bowl might've sparked a new desire in me to find the best Açai bowl in Melbourne...
