LIVING a healthy lifestyle is not an easy task. From the meal preparations to going to the gym for workouts, it’s a routine which requires time and effort. Despite the challenges that come up with maintaining this way of living, there is an increasing interest among the youth who are willing to take an initiative when it comes to a healthy diet and better lifestyle choices.

Brothers Thirdy and Ricardo Pepito Jr. opened a cafe inside a fitness center that caters to fitness enthusiasts. Called 1031 Dose, the place serves nothing but delightful healthy meals and drinks made from all-natural ingredients packed with nutrients, protein and vitamins. Needless to say, these are perfect for before or after a sweat session.

A range of flavorful, luscious yet effective whey from Wheyl Nutrition Co., are offered for one’s protein fix and for rehydrating after a tough workout. Flavors include Naked White, Just Melon, Clean Caramel, Mighty Matcha, Salted Chocolate and more.

The cafe even serves the famous Indonesian Jamu Turmeric Tonic, as it’s said to promote inner and outer health and beauty. The traditional drink is a mix of turmeric, ginger root and honey, and has been passed down from generation to generation, earning it a reputation as a “cure-all elixir.”

Coffee from Linear Coffee Roasters is also available here to keep one awake and alert before a workout session. And, Milo Monster is available as well—for the kids and kids at heart—as a happy drink.

Making sure that its ingredients are all-natural and organic, 1031 Dose sourced some of these from the owners’ family farm, like the free-range eggs. The peanut butter in its Peanut Butter Toast is also homemade.

“We just want to make sure that everything is healthy as we are promoting a healthy lifestyle here,” said Thirdy.

To keep the look and feel consistent, the cafe’s concrete wall is accented with planters and woven ropes, and native bags are impeccably displayed on its wooden bar tables. The wooden chairs and tables can accommodate up to 25 customers.

Now, one can grab his protein or coffee fix after an hour or two of working out, helping him achieve his fitness and health goals. The cafe 1031 Dose is located on the second floor of Southside Fitness, E-Zone in Panagdait, Cebu City. It is open from Monday to Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
