JIVIT MAARS

Chapel St's best smoothie bar. house-made nut butters, organic whole foods, zero shortcuts.

A small, clean and cosy spot on Chapel St that reads as unassuming from the outside but delivers an unusually high-care experience inside. Bright and light, with a tidy and welcoming feel. Easy to work from or sit with friends. The owner. known as Abs. is deeply present and turns each visit into a personal interaction about health and food.

All nut butters and plant milks made in-house. notably rare in Melbourne. Fresh coconuts juiced on-site rather than using bottled coconut water. Organic and whole-food ingredients throughout. Owner personally explains the menu and customises orders to dietary needs. Small menu with focused quality rather than breadth.

Name means 'Life' in Sanskrit. owner Abs brings an Indian health-food philosophy to the concept, with evident personal passion for whole-food nutrition.

Smoothies priced $14-$16 and bowls $15-$16. Some reviewers note it is on the pricier side for the category, but the quality of house-made ingredients and portion size justify it for regulars. 'Pricey but high qual' sums up the consensus.
