"All natural fruit smoothies, no syrup or artificial sweeteners added" That is Mondo Juice's tag line. It is quite catchy specially if you are a health conscious person. It sure got my attention as I walked passed by SM Megamall's new wing, the Atrium.

menu board

I like their menu board. It has vivid pictures of fruits which would connote that everything served is real fruit. The menu board also offers various combinations of fruit drink from smoothies to freshly squeezed.

sandwiches and desserts

I was not able to order any of these desserts or sandwiches as I just had lunch. Maybe on my next visit.

seating area

I think the seating capacity would be for 20 persons. The space is good enough for a small barkada to hang out.

information sticked for your drink

I ordered Classico under their premium fruit smoothies. Classico consists of strawberries, bananas, orange juice and apple juice. A solo cup costs PhP110 while the mondo cup costs PhP155. No sugar or sweetener was added on my drink so I get the real deal. The problem I had without the added sugar, I was not able to finish my drink lol Mainly because the fruit combination is sour (maasim). But what the heck, it's a healthy drink. Nobody says that going healthy is sweet and easy.

classico- strawberries, bananas, apple juice and orange juice- PhP110/ solo cup

apple and carrot juice- PhP135/solo

My DM ordered the apple and carrot juice combination under the fresh pressed juice category. The juice tasted more carrot than apple. I think it is better if they put more apple in it to make it palatable. Maybe next time, I should request it.

The people manning the booth are all knowledgeable about their product. One person even told me about the different countries where they import all their fruits. They even offer a shot (an ounce) of wheatgrass for only PhP85.

Their flyers, found on top of the counter, are very informative about their products and it even showed some random facts.

I would like to come back to try some of the other drinks that they are offering.

New find: Something new in SM Megamall

It's been awhile since I have been to SM Megamall. And my oh my, there are so many changes- new restaurants and offerings to try.

I was there at 10am. The mall's opening hour thus the empty parking space. I took the opportunity and took pictures of the newly installed parking indicator- green color for vacant parking and red color for taken slots.

2 pcs. breast and leg part chicken barbecue solo at PhP119

I had lunch at the number one fast food chain here in the Philippines- Jollibee. I ordered their newest offering- chicken barbeque.

mondo juice

After lunch and whiling my time, I passed by Mondo Juice and decided to give it a try. I'll post a review tomorrow.

paper bag

I noticed that paper bags are now being used in the grocery area. The cashier asked politely if she can put all my grocery items in a box. It turned out that in line with going green, SM has been encouraging people to bring their own bags every Wednesday. SM also have reusable bags for sale on the side that when presented would give you additional 2 points in your SM Advantage card. Reminds me again of Taiwan where shoppers bring their own bag for shopping.

M.O.B. = My Own Bag

packing tightly

It seems that SM personnel are not yet trained how to pack right especially with the plastic twine being used to secure the box. I am only a few steps away from the grocery area when the twine seems to be loosening up.

I support SM in going GREEN! Next time, I will surely bring my own bag!
