What is certainly a noticeable trend is that health-focused stores in Malaysia are taking the lead on developing an allergy-minded culture here. I was pleasantly surprised to see the following pamphlet at the counter of Boost Juice, a fruit juice chain that originated from the UK, in Midvalley Mall. The pamphlet provided information on nutrition and allergens in Boost’s main offerings. Thankfully for us gluten-phobes, most of their menu is gluten-free, with the exception of some of their chocolate- and granola-based smoothies and their wheatgrass shooter.

Boost is a leader in providing allergy and nutrition information to consumers here in Malaysia.

Here’s a list of their offerings with gluten:

  • King William Chocolate Low Fat Smoothie
  • Raspberry Ripe Low Fat Smoothie
  • Cookies ‘n Creame Low Fat Smoothie
  • Brekkie to Gogo Super Smoothie
  • Gym Junkie Super Smoothie
  • Wheatgrass Shooter

 

 

Yay that for once, the “yes” list is longer than the “no-no’s!” Boost Juice is available at virtually every large mall in Malaysia. Don’t forget to ask them to wash out the blender before making yours.

Peace,
