Sweety Pies and Jello’s Ice Cream debut at Sugarleaf…foods that nourish
In anticipation of Sugarleaf’s debut in Makati at the MEDICard Lifestyle Centre in mid-November, Sugarleaf launches two new product lines epitomising its mission of serving healthy and yummy treats to every one of all ages.
Jello’s Ice Cream is the concoction of Sugarleaf’s marketing and business development head Angelo N. Songco who also dabbles in dessert preparation. “I’ve always dreamed of having an ice cream parlour when I was a kid. Little did I know that Sugarleaf would be the avenue to achieve this yet still be able to give a lot of health benefits to its consumers.” Most flavours are vegan (coconut milk base provides creaminess without dairy products and cholesterol), low in fat and sugar, and contain billions of probiotics from the incorporation of Goody Coco-kefir.
JIC features five bestselling flavours Vegan jolly green (spirulina, green tea and malunggay), Triple chocolate (raw cacao-tsokolate-cocoa), Vegan 5-berry (acai-blueberry-cherry-raspberry-strawberry), Cherry-pistachio and Vegan vanilla2 bean. Limited-edition flavours include blueberry cheesecake, sapin-sapin, macaroon, mung bean mocha, sans rival, pastillas de leche, Arabica almond and more.
With prior notice, special orders for your dream ice cream flavour combination can be created in a healthier version! Special orders for macadamia-chocolate, strawberry-kiwi and after 8 (chocolate mint) have been made for loyal customers. “We’ve had customers who shared that they have family members who do not like ice cream but have completely consumed entire packs of Jello’s Ice Cream.”
Sweety Pies…baked healthier is the brainchild of Gina Yambot who is an advocate of healthier dining options. Most cakes and pastries use coconut sugar, a natural sweetener that is low-glycemic and can be enjoyed by diabetics (still in moderate amounts). Refined white sugar is completely avoided in the entire restaurant. Wheat flour is used to provide additional fibre. Best sellers include organic carrot cake, sans rival, nut pies (macadamia, pecan and almond) and kefir cheesecake – creamy but low-fat and just very slightly tart as cream cheese is substituted with kefir curds sweetened with raw wild honey topped with organic blueberry.
For Thanksgiving and Halloween, catch JIC’s flavours-of-the-moment Kalabasa (squash), All-American apple cake and Roadkill! (chocolate-chunky strawberry-cashew). Menu items featuring turkey and pumpkin will also on offer from soups, salad, pasta and sandwiches.
Jello’s Ice Cream and Sweety Pies strengthen its roster of healthy-eats including Healthy Picks organic fruits, vegetables and prepared products and Goody Kefir probiotic line of food and beverages.
