“If you blend up some almond milk, a frozen banana, some frozen pineapple chunks, vanilla protein powder & ice - it tastes exactly like Bananas-A-Whey from Booster Juice. EXACTLY.”
My Favourite 10 Things To Eat in Ontario
Happy Canada Day!
I'm feeling a little annoyed that I'm not in Mississauga celebrating Canada Day with the rest of you, but I'll get over it. What will I do instead? Sit and pine over these items below.
1. Salted Caramel Timbits. Have you tried these yet? They're relatively new and amazing.

2. The poutine at Royal Burger on Lakeshore.
3. All forms of Coffee Crisps (especially Coffee Crisp Latte, Coffee Crisp McFlurries, Coffee Crisp Hot Chocolate, Coffee Crisp cake, IT NEVER ENDS).

5. Trinidadian doubles near any of the West Indian places near T.L. Kennedy.

6. The garlic cheese loaf at Swiss Chalet (it sucks if you get it for delivery or take out, but it’s amazing when you eat it at the restaurant).

7. The caesar salad at Canyon Creek is especially 'cause they use way too much garlic when they make the dressing and I cannot get enough of it.

8. Parmesan Chicken Bowties at Jack Astor’s.

9. Mind Over Matcha at Booster Juice - (I stand by this statement, Magowans!)

Mind Over Matcha at Booster Juice
I feel slightly cheated that I've ONLY DISCOVERED THIS DRINK THIS YEAR. I can't believe that I've walked past many a Booster Juice for fifteen years - all the while this beautiful drink was sitting there, watching me, silently taunting my ignorance. I've never tasted a smoothie as delicious as their Mind Over Matcha. You have to try it. I didn't (/still don't) know exactly what matcha is and I never bothered to look it up since the word itself never sounded very appetizing to me. I couldn't have been more wrong. Drink this baby. Drink it hard.
(And is it not nuts that Booster Juice has been around since 1999? That seems a little wild to me.)
