The Aivee Café at the Aivee Institute was supposed to have been an exclusive establishment catering to its clients. With the opening of its doors, Doctors Aivee and Z Teo realized that they were attracting curious customers who were on the lookout for something healthy. And so they welcomed these new guests with open arms as well. Constantly making improvements and upgrading their menu, the Aivee Café has recently added new items to suit the needs of their ever-growing clientele.

Though it’s best to savor your drinks and food at a more mindful pace, the Aivee Café understands the rush of the daily grind which usually gets in the way of healthy habits. There are now four new powerful fresh juices sans sugar and preservatives, plus two dishes and a gluten-free dessert.

The Lifesaver – This juice is composed of juiced pear, spinach, lemon, and pineapple for its base. The vitamin C from the pineapple improves digestion and contains anti-inflammatory qualities. An overall immune boosting juice, the Lifesaver has chlorophyll found in spinach, which is good for the skin, hair and nails. The taste of the pear and spinach tempers the refreshing zest of citrus flavors.

The Elixir – Not all drinks need a myriad of ingredients for potency. The Elixir hydrates you with coconut water that complements the cleansing effects of organic apple cider vinegar, known for its alkalizing properties that restore your body’s pH balance. It cools you down with mint garnish for stress-free days ahead!

Beetle Juice – With beetroot as a main ingredient of this drink, mixed with two whole fresh oranges, this drink aids in the circulatory system. Beetroot has detoxifying properties able to purify the blood and liver. Packed with vitamin C from the oranges, both your body and your liver will be grateful. Don’t let the natural red hue from the beetroot intimidate you, the taste is quite tangy as the oranges balances out the earthy taste of the beetroot.

Milky Way – The key ingredient in this drink is spirulina (nutritional algae), which is said to help flush out and eliminate body toxins often caused by stress, free, radicals, and an unhealthy lifestyle. This superfood is rich in minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium, and contains 70 percent protein. Combined with spirulina is lime juice, almond milk and a hint of maple syrup to sweeten the senses. Smooth and suave, this cold drink washes down the nasty stuff of the body away.

Knowing how busy you are day to day, the Aivee Café serves up these four delightful juices in a ready-to-go takeout bottle so you are always prepared to drink up when times get tough.

Aivee Water – Starting the year right, all guests at the Aivee Café are served not just any kind of wate. Each guest is served Aivee Hydrogenated Rich Water. In the quest for understanding the healing waters of the world, it was studied and discovered by the Japanese that a common denominator of healing waters contained high amounts of hydrogen, which is a natural anti-oxidant that counters free radicals. You may purchase your own portable Aivee Water bottle, which can easily brew hydrogen rich water in just five minutes. The Aivee Water bottle is a top-tier Molecular Hydrogen Water bottle as it is made from actual Titanium plates that will not easily corrode nor produce metallic water, which is unhealthy. While other Hydrogen bottles make 300 to 600 parts per billion of Molecular Hydrogen, the Aivee Water bottle produces 900 parts per billion of Molecular Hydrogen rich water.

Drinks are best paired with food. Here are a few new selections, you may want to try:

Aivee Salad – A simple combination of lush green romaine lettuce, grapes, ripe mango, poached chicken, parmesan shavings and tofu dressing, there is an option to add lightly sautéed shrimps for those in a seafood mood.

Grilled Two Cheese Open Faced Sandwich– a sourdough bread sliced up with melted sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese drizzled with honey truffle, this order is even more tasty with cherry tomatoes and a garnish of arugula. It’s best to relish each bite with the siding of sweet potato chips dipped in honey mustard.

Gluten-free chocolate cake – Gluten-free desserts need not be bland and boring. This homemade moist gluten-free cake is as delicious as it looks topped with a big ripe strawberry and a smattering of fresh strawberry puree. The icing is chocolate goodness and every bite is wonderfully uplifting.

The Aivee Café continues to charm with food and beverages that are tasty and sometimes rich, but never sinful. You can eat and drink to your heart’s content. The more you partake of the selections at Aivee Café, the more you nourish your body.
