Hello blog friends! How have you all been doing? 
I’ve been busy with life, which apparently wants to keep me on my toes.
After bringing lunches that consist of nutella sandwiches, bits and pieces of random fruit, really old celery and chobani yogurts for a few days, I realized I needed to buckle down and get my shiz together. Along with no clean laundry, I had zero fresh produce at home, and knew that I needed to get out to a grocery story before I went insane.
I was supposed to be in the downtown area after work today, so I decided to head over to Whole Foods to get my shopping done and grab some dinner. All that was going through my head was leafy greens, tofu, beans and veggies, so the WF hot bar sounded like heaven. Cupcakes for breakfast seem like a good idea until this point.
It’s true that you shouldn’t shop while hungry – I put together the biggest salad I’ve ever gotten (double digit price, eek!).
Shoyu tofu, sesame ginger kale, beans, grain salad, veggies… you can’t even see it all. It was awesome.
I also had a peach kombucha with my salad. I remember not liking kombucha too much the first time I tried it, but for some reason I’m hooked now!
Completely demolished. At first I didn’t think I was going to make it through the whole thing, but I did! And don’t worry – the red isn’t blood, just some beets that were hiding under everything else 
After my trip to WF, I had some other business to take care of in the city.
I passed by Menchie’s on the way to my Winterlicious blogger date last week, and almost had a heart attack. Menchie’s… in Toronto!? Finally, they’ve brought self-serve froyo stores to the great white north!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <—absolutely necessary to convey my sheer level of excitement
The concept is simple: mix the flavours and toppings you want, weigh your creation, and pay based on weight. Easy, right?
They had at least 10 flavours of froyo and sorbet to choose from, which you get to serve yourself from soft-serve dispensers.
They also had a whole assortment of toppings you could add to your froyo.
This included fresh fruit and sauces!
I loaded up at all the stations and basically created a monster froyo.
I die. Seriously. Best froyo ever.
I went absolutely insane with flavours and toppings. I had original tart, vanilla, chocolate, mocha, peanut butter, pina colada and cake batter froyo topped with cinnamon toast crunch (lovelovelove cereal for dessert!), mochi, chocolate and yogurt chips, sprinkles, toasted coconut and a maraschino cherry. Sounds ridiculous but was amazing, and only came out to about $5!!
My favourite flavours were tart, vanilla and peanut butter, although I also liked the pina colada and cake batter. I was surprised by how intense the flavours were – the mocha was almost to coffee-y for me! I also loved how you could add whatever toppings you wanted. The mix-and-match of flavours is perfect for an indecisive person like me!
Even though I do love MoRoCo, this is everything I always hoped and thought a froyo shop should be. I think I’m a Menchie’s girl now <3
So… who wants to go back with me?
