Fruitas

I was craving for something fruity today. And when I saw this Fruitas booth in Market Market, I gave it a try. I posted about Fruit Magic last year and I thought it would be good to try to check out the competition.

The booth is so colorful and summery.

I asked if pure juices are available but they said no. They only do shakes and other fruit preparations like the Buco halo halo, but no juices. I still tried it anyhow.


From among the fruits available, I decided to try their green mango juice. Must be my hormones, I was craving for something fruity but sour.

The shakes come in different sizes. P35 for the smallest glass, I'd say not bad.


It was fun to watch your fruit get peeled, sliced and osterized. Crushed ice is added halfway, plus sugarwater, then osterized some more.


I was so happy with my green mango shake! It was thick, natural and tasted just the way I want my shake. And it is nutritious too.

  1. I once tried... don't remember the name of the booth. I thought it would be a fresh juice but instead the saleslady took out a plastic bag out of the fridge and poured it in a glass. That was it... fresh juice! ;-)

  2. I thought they were just about fruits. It seems like they also have buko. I'd love to try that.

  3. Sidney, im sure that wasnt Fruitas... what i enjoy about Fruitas, is that i get to pick the fruit myself off their shelf. and watch as they prepare the shake in front of me. but if it is juice you want, try Fruit Magic instead. good luck this time! ;-)

    Em Dy, i just had my 3rd tall glass of green mango shake today. and while i was buying kanina, the girl beside me ordered buco shake with banana.. hmmmm, sounds good no. ill try the buco preparations too next time. ;-) lets!

  6. good thing there's a fruitas stand near my office :) i like their fresh buko juice.. as in they'll pour it sa glass straight from the shell mismo. yummm. sometimes i tell them not to put syrup sa shake ko para fresh talaga. hehe.

  10. einah, yup. market market din ako.. sa may grocery. after i load my grocery bags sa car, i make sure i go back in to order a medium glass of their shake... try ko nga ripe mango next time...

    sakai, come to think of it, i do now. same with you. i just realized na sa Fruitas, the fiber content is intact since the fruit is blenderized whole. while in Fruit magic, the fiber is left out. at least a big bulk of it. ;-)
