Sunnybrook Health Store

If you are gluten intolerant then you surely know this place, but if you’re vegan then it is a shopping haven too. Stocks heaps of vegan products (eg. Roasts, burgers, sausages, slices) and has a large selection of organic produce. If you want liquid aminos instead of soy, they stick three different brands, if you want textured soy to replace your mince meat, you can choose from four styles.
As per all speciality shops they are pricey but hey that’s what you get if you want to live longer.
Vegan lip balm? No issues.
Vegan chocolate snack? Of course.
Gluten free is also a speciality with breads, pastas, sauces, frozen meals… The list goes on.
My favourite haunt for stocking supplies.

Sunnybrook was smaller than I expected. I think it’s because when I am told about a gluten-​free and health food supermarket, I automatically imagine something the size of Costco. So let’s not quibble over size.
It has a spectacular range of gluten-​free, and other allergy and intolerance friendly foods. The kind of spectacular where one is overwhelmed for choice and sometimes have to go and have a sit down with a cup of tea and a biscuit (that you ask someone else to select for you).
To top it off, there are naturopaths, a naturopathic dispensary, understanding staff and frequent promotional tastetestings on offer to help you find something to pacify your disagreeable digestion system. I can’t really recommend a product, I would just say go with a full bank account and an empty freezer and come back with the reverse. Having bread that tastes like bread might be a simple pleasure, but it’s one not often experienced by coeliacs and should be indulged in should the opportunity arise. At Sunnybrook, that opportunity doesn’t so much arise, as leap up and hit you in the face.
