Juicyfied Organic Juice

Healthy, tasty and lechonfree: welcome to Juicyfied!

In the midst of all the super sweet and carbs loaded Korean cafés blooming in Cebu, I found a pure gem! A real, unique, special one!

I dreamt it, Pauline did it: an organic little restaurant, with real fruit juices, and delectable low calorie meals! Wait wait wait, I can see your eyebrow raising, but organic does not have to be boring nor come with dreadlocks or piercings. Open the door of Juicyfied and I bet it will only take you a sip of Pauline’s pure juices to convert to the healthy cause. 😉

The signature of Juicyfied is in (guess what).. the juices. The menu offers some 22 varieties all made exclusively of fruits and vegetables. No sugar, no water. Not even the usual trick of serving it in a glass full of ice cubes.

Not sure about what to order? Pauline is not only the owner and the manager of the place. She created every single juice, each meal of the menu.

Juicyfied is more than a job to her, it is almost a calling: To fight the diabetic history that had put a spell on her family, she took upon the challenge to convince them to change their diet. “I had to convince myself first, and being a Filipina, it took some time to get rid of my…Filipino diet! But the more I learnt, the more I became absolutely convinced of the special nutritional power of fruits and vegetables in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. You can not mix any fruit with any vegetable, plants have their powers, and you need to know them so you can really heal and restore balance”.

Her Mum became a first guinea pig consumer. I could picture the alchemist daughter and her patient Mum chugging on their bubbly greenish beverages and I again realized how far unconditional love can take you. 🙂 After testing, mixing, adding a spoon of lemon here and a pinch of cucumber there, Pauline had become an authority in juice making. Her juices became so famous that she opened an online store, and success went far beyond her expectations. She did not change her ways though; she would deliver the juices herself and ask her clients for their opinions and suggestions, so she could keep on improving her delicious cocktails.

Pauline is living her passion, and she loves to share it. With her medical background combined to her studies in culinary, she could only do good in the kitchen as well. The menu of Juicyfied is simple enough to tame even Ms Attila (my daughter), whose mango roll disappeared in a few minutes. Great food, great people, great movie.
