Since returning from spending a few weeks in LA, I discovered some of my favourite GO-TO places to grab my green juice and organic fresh food ranging from super food salads, to Brazilian acai bowls, bone broths, plant based smoothies and powerful vitamin shots. LA is the hub of organic healthy eating, and I still have yet to explore when I go back, but these have been my top 4 near me while staying in Malibu.
Malibu Farm

What they say? A Breakfast-&-lunch spot offering locally sourced american cuisine & pier side Pacific views.

What I say? This place is on the water, and has a tasty menu ranging from delicious salads, to grassfed steak, fresh juices as well as Californian wines. A beautiful view with a nice balance of items to choose from.  During the day,  I love the vegan chop with a fresh kale/ apple juice, and in the evening the cauliflower crust pesto pizza with a glass of pinot noir makes the perfect edition to the sea view and sunset. All the food is organic, local and fresh.

Kreations Cafe 

What they say? We stay true to our initial beliefs. We are always healthy and organic.
 Not “sometimes.” Not “when we can.” We are always 100% Certified Organic.  
Part of our mission is to inform the community about the healing power of traditional Persian cuisine. More than just a reflection of our roots, we emphasise Persian food, and even use our own family recipes, because we know that they promote longevity. We believe in preventing disease, not fighting it and we provide everything needed to build stronger and healthier bodies at the cafe.

What I say: This place super fresh, clean and cool. It is a fab place if you are gluten intolerant as they offer very yummy gf baguettes. Im a juice junkie myself, and seeing how juice bars are the craze right now, I couldn’t believe how many flavours and blends I could choose from. I would recommend the moncao for breakfast with gluten free bread and strength juice, and for lunch I am obsessed with the chicken kebab that is served with salad, veggies and fresh persian style dips along with the 50 shades of green juice, I literally could feel the 50 greens I was consuming instantly. I left feeling great and sporting a gorgeous glow 😉

Vitamin Barn: 

What they say? The Vitamin Barn is a specialty health food store. Containing a juice and smoothie bar, it also sells a wide arrange of nutritional products and food items.

What I say? This cute little bar and shop in one, is located on near the cross creek on the pacific coast high in Malibu. A perfect of mix that combines a long list of wellness shots/ drinks and snacks as well as many high quality supplements. The knowledgable staff will give also make bespoke shots mixing different ingredients depending on what you need. I was feeling slightly jet lagged after getting my nails done next door, so walked in and said i need some energy, and suddenly I got a concoction of ginkgo, ginseng, caffeine, and vitamin b. I was buzzing by the time I got home, ready for our karaoke filled evening.  It felt more like a Farm-acy…natural remedies for all sorts of health boosts or issues.

SunLife Organics 

What they say?  SunLife Organics isn’t a juice bar. It’s a palpable experience fuelled by the simple but profound joy of human connection and an unrelenting commitment to quality.

What I say? As Sunlife Organics was conveniently located where I practised yoga daily at Malibu beach yoga, this is where I got my cold pressed veggie juice fix; , my favourites were the veggie, solace or elixir blend. I loved the fact that that its one stop health shop, you can buy fresh food, juices, books, supplements, smoothies and nutritional powders. You will often see the founder himself Khalil Rafati who has a beautiful story and the most friendly staff I have ever come across, you can sit inside or outside as its a great people watching place where you can sip your juice in the sunshine. I would go to the point dume location as it was minutes from me, but there are 4 other locations.  If you love yoga, also try out the yoga upstairs, beautiful views and amazing teachers.
