Green Smoothies Served Up With Style At Samudra

Green Smoothies Served Up With Style:
Getting to Know Michael, Samudra & The Kombi Live Food Café

- Q & A with Michael Parkes of Samudra

After a big trip around the world, Michael Parkes found himself landing in Yallingup in the South West of Western Australia. Needing to find work, he came across Samudra and liked what they had going on.

Michael was working in the Café when he first tasted a green smoothie and — as he puts it — “the wonderful flavour on offer for something that was so good for me.” Curiosity sparked, Michael picked up a couple of books to understand more of the story behind “going green”.

An introduction to green smoothies was a stepping stone on Michael’s path to truly listen to his body; he is now nearly 100% vegetarian with plenty of raw food in the mix.
