Few people are better prepared than Steve Sanna to squeeze onto Toronto’s burgeoning cold-pressed juice scene. Steve runs Beaches newbie Sanna’s Farmacia Organic Juicebar with care and precision, sourcing ingredients, tweaking recipes and charming health-conscious locals by the dozen. But Sanna’s Farmacia goes well beyond barista-style juicing. Steve says, “We’re focused on healing people, and we’re happy to educate them. I want to act as a stepping stone for them, and to get people doing it (juicing and eating well) on their own.”
This organic juice bar on Queen Street East is one Matt Damon approves. Seriously, he’s been here and his favourite drink is the Chocolate Sanna Banana smoothie. They have a three-day detox program which is customized to your needs and offer workshops that make leading a healthy lifestyle fun. Plus, there’s elixirs you can add to your smoothie, juices, raw organic freezies and gut-healing probiotic shots, amongst other things. They even ferment their own jun soda, kombucha and water kefir.
For a light option that is full of all the good stuff – vitamins, nutrients, fibre – Farmacia Juice Bar is your place. What’s more refreshing and rejuvenating than a fruity juice or smoothie? Former physical trainer, Stefano Sanna, will help you find just what you need. If you’re looking for something more filling, try a protein smoothie or add a baked goodie. A whole lot of care goes into each creation, so stop by for a delicious concoction.
