I would love to try every single one, if I could but unfortunately, it is not within my budget to do so nor would my body agree (hmm\u2026BUT I am<\/em> going to Zumba tomorrow at the Athletic Centre<\/a> though, maybe a few ice-pops wouldn\u2019t hurt, right?\u2026NO, Meimei, NO!) \ud83d\ude1b\r\n\r\n

Look at those ice-pops! (Image: Meimei)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nAfter much debate, I decided to go for the simple yet sophisticated flavour, Mango (YUM!). I brought along a fellow foodie friend\/U of T student, Juli with me and she decided to go for the Strawberry Coconut flavour dipped in chocolate. Now, does that sound de-lish or what?? There were a variety of options too such as having it covered in peanuts, toasted coconut, or even Reese\u2019s Pieces. I think it is a nice summer treat to help you cool down in the afternoon, wouldn't you say?\r\n\r\n

Grasshopper is one of my favourite vegan restaurants that is only a few minutes walk from campus and the prices are reasonable! The portions are HUGE so definitely a good deal. The Chick\u2019Un nuggets are sooo yummy.\r\n\r\n
