In childhood,
we use to snub eating vegetables which moms proudly present to us in the name
of healthy eating. But at a certain age, we understand the importance of nutrition
and follow the right path. This world needs more of antioxidant rich food and
is it easy to find a balanced and healthy meal at any restaurants? Well, I would say there are places where you
can have a guilt-free healthy meal and I visited one such place recently – Enerjuvate Studio & Café, Bengaluru.
Tucked in one of the busy streets of
Jayanagar, Enerjuvate Studio and Café is
near to the RV College of Nursing and can be easily located through Google map.
Once you enter this property, first thing welcomes you will be a mini-garden
with serene Buddha statue. With modern and quirky interiors, Enerjuvate Studio & Café has a lot of interesting spaces like Aasan Payasam which is a Spa Café, Elixir & Euphoria for
workouts, yoga and other interesting activities and a chic space with a boutique,
#Hep.
I was invited to spend an afternoon at Enerjuvate
Studio and Café and I was not having any clue what was there in store for me. I
knew Bangalore’s famous food blogger, Monika Manchanda (Blogger is an
underrated word, she is a Food connoisseur) has created the menu for them along
with the founders.
We were a small group and the founders
Darshana and Sunayna took us for a Studio tour and gave us a brief description of the health studio concept. While having a
conversation with the team, we got a Tender coconut cooler and watermelon drink
along with a platter of veggies, crackers, hummus, and other dips. I had the
Coconut cooler which was so refreshing and had a quick bite of food before we
headed to ‘Euphoria’, the studio for Yoga session. The young and fit Yoga
instructor, Yash welcomed us foodies to a new world. We did an interesting half
an hour session of Yoga and the instructor was really motivating and helpful.

I had few health issues due to climate
change and after doing Yoga I felt much rejuvenated and that’s the whole idea
of this place. After the Yoga session, we settled for lunch and we were so
excited about what Monika has to offer us,
foodies. When you look at their menu, you will feel a bit disappointed by not seeing anything nonveg. But mark my words;
you will have the most amazing veg experience in your life. Our lunch started
with a Chandan cooler followed by few smoothies which helped us to forget the
after workout tiredness. The Green tea & fresh greens smoothie was antioxidant rich which is a must drink
after any workout. We also tried the Vitamin C rich Orange and Chilli juice and
also a Strawberry berry Mojito as a palate cleanser. We loved the flavors which
boosted our energy.
They use customized
wooden cutleries and it’s really appealing. Next, it
was time to eat something solid and we got few salads in different combinations
and interesting dressings-
Mango, Corn & Black rice Salad – This
was the first time I tried black rice in
a salad and the trio blend was heavenly. Rice was cooked to perfection and
sweet and tangy flavors from Mango and Corn took me to a different word.
Thai Guava Salad –The spicy Thai dressing
made all the wonders to the simple Guava
pieces. This salad was extremely delightful.
Watermelon Delight – Delicious cubes of Watermelon
tossed in a creamy vegan sauce and garnished with pumpkin seeds.
Tandoori Tofu with Naan crisps – The super
healthy Tofu in Tandoori flavor and for that extra crunch you have the option
of Naan crisps. Yes! Salads are no more boring stuff… :)
Soon after salads,
it was time for some soups and I opted for Carrot ginger soup with herbed
millets and house salad. The soup and sides were tasty. I also tasted their
Tomato Rasam with cold rice salad. Being a South Indian Rasam is like a
soup/palate cleanser I would say. This combination was so good and we couldn’t
stop having it.
After soup, we got a platter of healthy bites
– Ragi Vegetable Pancakes, Scrambled Tofu Wrap and a Pumpkin & Potato
Roesti. Four interesting dips were served - creamy vegan sauce garnished with
gun powder and a green chutney for the pancakes, Roasted Bell pepper dip for
the beetroot Tofu wrap, and basil flavored creamy vegan dip for the Pumpkin
& Potato Roesti.
All these were healthy bites and the ingredients were so
fresh and scrumptious. The wrap was made of whole wheat, beetroot and jowar base.
When we heard next on the menu was Pizza,
we were eagerly waiting for to know how to it will be after a healthy course of
meal. There is no place for ‘all-purpose
flour’ in Enerjuvate’s kitchen. Instead,
they use the amaranth flour and ragi flour as a pizza
base. They offer different veggie
toppings, vegan and no cheese toppings. We tried three pizzas –
House pesto with grilled baby corn, broccoli and garlic topped with
cheese.
Honey Roasted Apple wedges, rosemary twigs,
roasted garlic, chillies topped with feta
cheese and walnuts.
Republic day special tri-color pizza made
of ragi base with a combination of rocket leaves, oranges, and fresh feta cheese.
Enerjuvate offers a gluten-free, vegan and processed sugar-free desserts and you can enjoy these desserts without
counting calories. We tried the Tri-color orange, kiwi & vanilla chia seeds
cake with an orange dressing. Strawberry, Banana
& Basil nice cream was more like a gelato. Both the desserts were really
good and make you crave for more.
A perfect ending to a perfect meal is by having a hot drink. Often I prefer flavored
tea or coffee after my meal. Here at Enerjuvate,
they have exciting blends like Basil & Blueberry, Thyme & Lemon,
Rosemary & Orange, Ginger & Lemongrass, and Rose & Betel leaves
served with an energy snack. I tried a cup of Rosemary & Orange infused tea
and the flavors from tea along with the dancing orange zests surely made my day.
A special thanks to Sunayna, Darshana,
Yash, Abhay, Pratik, Kavita, Monika and Aravind for making my Republic Day a memorable
one. If you are looking for healthy eating and a place you can relax, then head
to Enerjuvate Café and Studio at Jayanagar. Like me your perception of healthy
eating will also change.
