This brand has been around Toronto for two decades, serving modern vegetarian food and offering gluten-free and organic choices. Starting out in 1990 as a travelling juice bar called Juice for Life, Fresh On now has four locations. It makes its food in-house and offers a vegan- menu, without butter, dairy, eggs, honey or any hidden animal by-products.

You must order: The Create Your Own Juice ($6-$14 for 12-32 ounce drinks) includes a range of choices such as apple, carrot, cucumber, mango, pineapple, pear and milk (including almond, hemp, skim and soy varieties). Add banana, beet, blueberry or celery and your choice of acai, acerola cherry, astragalus, raw coconut oil, echinacea, lucuma and maca. Finish that puppy off with agave, cinnamon, cayenne, nutmeg or pink salt. What have you come up with? Who knows? But it will be unique and nutritious.
