IMUS CITY, Cavite – If a “healthier you” forms part of your new year wish-list anew or opting to spread a healthy lifestyle to your friends and loved ones, Healthy Basket, a grocery store located at the Millennium Building, Palico 3 in Aguinaldo Highway here, could be your long lost ‘Santa’ for these Christmas wishes.
Healthy Basket, which is now on its soft openings stage, sells many healthy food products, including healthy meal packages for your kind of diet (keto, paleo, vegan, etc), including pastries of Sugar Fix and Fat2Fit plus Healthy Cheffy to help make your 2019 goal closer to reality.
The store owners who are “keto” fans themselves, Muriel Laurel Colubio, Ma. Christina Valdez and Emmaruth Arranzamendez-Mondejar, thought of this business to provide a one-stop, physical shop, a first down South where its residents, especially Caviteños, can buy or replenish their supplies of popular health food products, healthy desserts and snacks, herbs and medicinal plants, organic foods and local produce for people with special dietary needs.
“Although these products are available online, the physical shop offers the ‘have it when you need it’ convenience, especially when people on a diet sometimes crave for something that is not readily available, they’ll have an excuse to cheat, sira ang diet,” explains Colubio (it will disrupt the diet routine)
They decided to put up a store to heed into their friends’ requests to help them with their diet routine, “so here it is,” quips Mondejar.
The business is also there to support local products, especially those from the regions as “most of our products are locally made or from small businesses/micro entrepreneurs like sukang (Vinegar) watwat of Baguio, Mama Cili sardines of Pangasinan, coconut vodka and coconut cider from Quezon,” Valdez, in her turn, shares.
Understanding the busy schedule of its clientele, the store also do meet up and deliveries, and people may contact them through their social media pages (Healthy Basket) for the latest products, offering and other concerns.
The formal launch is set on Dec. 8, and all health buffs are enjoined to come and check out the shop.
Depending on its success, the owners target to open some 100 branches around Southern Tagalog region so that more people will be aware and get into healthy lifestyle and crave, instead for healthy food options. (PNA)
