Located
on the corner of Fleming and Margaret is a health foodie's paradise. Welcome to
Help Yourself! a totally organic market, juice bar and cafe. Step inside to a
plethora of products that are organic, GMO free and come from sustainable food
sources.
Charlie
Wilson started Help Yourself! back in 2008 as a cafe. Her passion for good food
and healthy living caught on quickly. In 2012 the market side was opened. The
variety of products is amazing; from fresh non-GMO fruits and vegetables to
beauty products and everything in between. One product that caught my eye was
the Kids Bamboo Utensil Sets sold at the counter. I also like the fact that
many of the nuts, seeds and dried beans are purchased in bulk from sustainable
non-GMO sources and packaged right there for you.
Over
at the cafe, I tried their sampler platter. Made with Hummus, Tabouli, Indian
Summer, tomatoes, pesto, mixed greens and toasted pita bread, this really was
delicious. The flavors were a mix of savory, spicy with a touch of sweet. I
highly recommend it. To drink I had their 'Purple Jungle' smoothie made with
Acai, blueberries, goji berries and banana, very tasty. In looking over the
menu, everything looks good, worth coming back again and again.
