This post is brought to you in partnership with nood and Pure Fitness.
As you all know, I love FOOD. The question I always get asked is, “how are you not 500 lbs.” Well, first of all, after putting in work at That Food Cray !!! I had to keep that booty in check and start working out. Secondly, I eat salads when nobody’s looking! I would say 50% of my meals consist of salads, granola x yogurt, and acai bowls. I barely consume sugary drinks and opt for cold-pressed juices or coconut water.
I’m honestly the worst at eating a healthy balanced diet. Like a majority of people, there are some days where I just go H.A.M. on food and crush ice cream, cake, and cheese. The only time I actually want to eat healthy is after going to the gym! Working out makes me realize how much work I have to put in to burn off that burger or last night’s hot pot.
I’ve been exercising at Pure lately, which is why nood has been so key. I usually want to eat immediately after working out so it helps that every nood is conveniently located at every single Pure Fitness or Pure Yoga studio. It’s the perfect post-workout meal, simple, fresh, and nutritious. Each location offers pressed juices, fresh coconut water, smoothies and protein drinks. The food between the locations vary, but most of them offer an assortment of salads, sandwiches, wraps, acai bowls, gluten or dairy-free desserts, snacks and supplements.
I hit up a few locations, each facility stocked with fresh juices and food by nood. My favourite location, albeit far, was Pure South, located in the Pulse right along the beach. We actually had a picnic post-workout out on the beach with salads and freshly cracked coconuts. The Hutchinson House (Admiralty), Lincoln House (Quarry Bay), and Kinwick (Central) locations are stocked with salad bars. Choose from an assortment of healthy salads made with fresh kale, quinoa, beetroot, pumpkin, and more. The Soundwill Plaza location is conveniently located in Causeway Bay and newly renovated.
P.S. You don’t have to be a Pure member to #getnood! All nood locations are open to the public!
