Eating healthy in a busy city like Singapore just got a whole lot easier with Detox Cafe. This take-away lunchbox concept provides fresh food daily and combos that are ready to go during the busy lunch period. This is especially great for working professionals that lead a busy lifestyle, but still want to keep in shape and eat clean.

Here are some light signature options below that we tasted. They were perfect for a weekday filler during work hours or fuel after hitting the gym.

We had the Salmon Fiesta ($12.90), which came with zucchini, broccoli and green salad leaves, pumpkin seeds and a citrus balsamic dressing to top it off. Unfortunately, the Salmon was a tad overcooked and dry but the rest of the salad was very fresh.

Every salad bar needs a solid vegetarian option. We also tasted the Veggie Lovers ($10.90) which comprised of cold fusilli pasta, olives, broccoli, Mexican beans and ratatouille with a pesto dressing to accompany it. It was certainly delicious and refreshing on a hot day.

Next we decided to try their homemade smoothies. Stay active (left), a berry-based smoothie and Green and Clean (right), a vegetable-based smoothie ($7.90 each). The smoothies can also act as a meal replacer for those of you on-the-go.

We ended with a Super Bowl ($8.90) which was rather tasty! It is layered with banana, black berries, strawberries, coconut shavings with a lovely cacao acai mix.
If you are in a hurry or just want to grab a healthy meal to live a balanced lifestyle head over and choose from a selection of different combos or just make your own salads.
