Just Green

Fantastic organic grocery store in Central. It’s where I get most of my organic goods aside from fresh veg.
They’ve got almost everything I could want, from cereals to sweets to frozen dinners, bread, vitamins, supplements, and bath, body care products. There’s even a rewards card program you can join if you’re a frequent shopper. And those rewards add up fast!
Sort of don’t want to share this tip, but I will for lovely Unilocalers! Here it is: if you come at the end of the evening, they often have some excellent markdowns on the shelves and in a tote by the counter. As in lactose free soy yogurt pots that were $ 56 for $ 16, or granola bars that were $ 25 for $ 14. I once bought a bag of organic basmati rice that was a few days from expiring (but it’s rice for flake’s sake!) for ¹⁄₅^th the original price.
I’m in the store almost once a week so maybe we’ll see each other!

An appealing and delightful chain of health food stores that offers a comprehensive selection of natural, organic goods. Food and beverage items catering to a wide breadth of special dietary needs, vitamins, health and sports supplements, all-​natural household products, etc. Think ultra condensed Whole Foods on crack.
They carry some of my favorite brands and products, such as: Living Intentions sprouted nuts and superfood cereals, Traditional Medicinals tea, kale chips, Harmless Harvest coconut water, Andean Dream coconut quinoa cookies, Vega protein powders, Quest bars, and Lenny and Larry’s Complete Cookies. To say that I stocked up during a recent trip would be an understatement. I felt like a kid in a candy store. A broke kid.
So great! I love Just Green.

Damn, I’m happy/​sad that this place opened at this location, cuz I can foresee spending way too much frickin’ money here on a regular basis. Just Green has a few other locations throughout Hong Kong, but this newer location in Central opened just 2 weeks ago. They have everything you’d want from a natural/​organic market, except for fresh fruits/​vegetables (although they do stock fresh kale from Green Vitamin).
I love that they stock pretty much the full gamut of Green Vitamin’s products (See
), which is the main selling point for me. That, and the wide range of flavors of Happy Cow ice cream, which they even sell in mini-​cup size! (For those who don’t know, Happy Cow is made with coconut sugar instead of cane sugar and therefore has a lower glycemic index, but is just as tasty.)
The location is a bit tricky to find (it’s on the first floor above Christian Louboutin on Wyndham Street), but once you’ve found it, you’ll be glad that you did (although your pocketbook may not be as happy).
