Nourished On The Go

Go there. Try the Southwest stew, with avocado and sauce. Ask yourself what you’ve been doing with your life, ’til now. Vow to ‘up your game’ from now on, and start by visiting Nourished On The Go on a regular basis. Your wonderful, healthy, more-​ethical, more-​delicious, new life awaits. You’re welcome.
Tip: Many items are frozen (and warmed for eat-​in customers), so stock-​up on your way home, so you can pop these healthy meals into the microwave when you don’t have time to cook, but don’t want to sink to the level of most frozen meals or fast food. Stay healthy!

I’d like to start off by saying that I don’t usually eat at vegan restaurants so there is not much for me to compare it to but I have to say, I really enjoyed it here. The restaurant itself is quite small and it doesn’t have a lot of seating space but I think it adds to the charm. It definitely has a very cozy feel to it.
My friend and I each order a no-​chicken souvlaki wrap, apple pie, a strawberry cheesecake, and an icecream sandwich. Obviously, the no-​chicken wrap didn’t contain any chicken in it but what the chef had used to replace it was very chicken-​like! The texture was very very similar to that of chicken and the seasonings she used were excellent. The lettuce was crispy and you could tell it was very fresh. The size of the wrap was decent too, none of that skimpy stuff. I must say though, the desserts were smaller then what I was expecting. (the whole thing could sit on your palm with room to spare) However, they were delicious. The apples in the apple pie were crunchy (!) and tossed with cinnamon. It was a very nice surprise when I had my first bite because I was expecting soft, baked apple pieces like how other apple pies are usually like. The crust was made out of nuts and was chewy (I can best describe it as a crumblier granola bar). Next up was the strawberry cheesecake (of course, it was not actually made of cheese) of which I did not like as much as the apple pie but my friend had enjoyed it more so to each their own i suppose! It consisted of a base of that chewy, nut-​based crust from the apple pie, a creamy cashew cheese filling topped with strawberry sherbet (on the website it says its a strawberry jam but our cake came from the freezer so it froze over into a sherbet) Now, I have never tried cashew cheese before but it was really creamy. If you’ve ever had frozen yogurt (like, yogurt that you put into the freezer to freeze, not like the ice cream frozen yogurt) before, it had exactly that kind of texture. Lastly, we have the ice cream sandwich which was made of a soy based ice cream (we chose vanilla) and a choice of two of their cookies (we chose the chocolate chip one and the brownie one). The ice cream was not creamy, it was more watery if that makes sense. The brownie cookie was really chewy and had a nice cocoa flavour while the chocolate chip cookie was, again, like a crumblier granola bar. I personally like the chocolate chip cookie more but my friend had like the brownie one more, so I’d say just try them both!
Overall you can tell that time, effort, and a lot of care was put into making the wraps. Same for the desserts. This is a place I would definitely recommend anyone to go to– vegan or not! I know I will visit again for sure

Have been here several times over the last few months and it has always been excellent. So refreshing to finally have an all vegan restaurant in Durham Region. My favourite item here is the no-​chicken club wrap, my only recommendation would be to make it bigger. The no-​chicken souvlaki wrap is pretty good as well. They make an excellent Caesar salad but I was most impressed by their Alfredo. It is very, very difficult to make vegan Alfredo sauce at home that doesn’t end up too watery, too sticky, or flavourless. It may not be exactly what you are expecting in terms of an alfredo but it has a wonderful flavour and texture. I also quite enjoy the no-​chicken noodle soup, when I got it it was fresh out of the pot, I found it tasted better after letting it sit for a few hours like most soups. Keep up the good work Nourished on the Go!

First time trying this restaurant and loved it! Had the strawberry cheesecake and veggie dream wrap. Delicious.

Being a curious foodie, I enlisted the tummies of 10 carnivore, but health conscious, ladies to come over and try vegan food. Keeping in mind, none of us had tried it before.
Nourished On The Go is a take-​out vegan spot right downtown Oshawa. I had them each pick a couple things off the menu and off we went! We ordered almost everything on the menu.
The purpose was to show carnivores that vegan food actually tastes good. I think a lot of meat eaters assume vegetarian and vegan food is just boring salad; I know I did. It was time to broaden our foodie horizons and here’s how it went.
I asked everyone to write down their favourites, the OK’s and the ones they didn’t enjoy as much. Here we go!
It was pretty easy to tally; the Southwest Stew was a HUGE hit. We were duelling spoons trying to get the last of it. The sweet, spicy stew full of tomato, avocado, corn and black beans in a macadamia nut cream with Cajun spice and a little cilantro was to die for. I plan on picking some up frozen, so I can have it ALL to myself whenever I want. Teehee. The dishes with the next highest ratings were the Cashew Cream of Mushroom Soup and the Curried Cauliflower. If I didn’t know the mushroom soup was vegan, I would’ve never guessed. Sweet and spicy with a creamy consistency won over everyone. The curried cauliflower was another hit; the almonds and raisins were a great addition to the curry spices. Yum! The No-​Chicken Souvlaki Wrap won my heart. The sauce and toppings were great. I didn’t realize it wasn’t actual meat! So far, so good!
There were a few that some loved and others didn’t enjoy equally. I think the Italian Wedding soup was at a disadvantage. A few of us really liked it (myself included), but others were comparing it to East Side Mario’s version because it’s the only one they’d ever had. Sad, sad. The only thing I would change is the shape of pasta; I find getting penne on a spoon makes me wear soup. The Potato Salad was another that I feel was underrated. No, it wasn’t as creamy as its non-​vegan counterpart, but it was damn good. The ones that loved it, didn’t miss the mayo at all.
The No-​Chicken Club Wrap was not bad. The ‘bacon’ tasted similar to actual bacon, not dead on, but close. I was pleasantly surprised at the vegan chicken; the texture was great! Very chickeny! A few of us didn’t mind the vegan chicken, but a couple of my friends didn’t like it much. Some people found the ‘bacon’ flavour either good or not good. The poor Hummus Wrap. We all have been so spoiled with grocery store flavoured hummus that plain hummus was… well, plain. We had a few wraps on whole wheat and a few on a collard green. Everyone with a collard green wrap had trouble eating it without dropping something. If you get a wrap on collard green, leave it in paper or don’t cut it in half. We made a bit of a mess trying to share wraps on collard green. Very fresh though!
There were only a few that we all agreed were not our favourites. The Alfredo and Pesto were the not liked by the adults, but the toddler ate both of them. She loved them! There could’ve been more sauce, but I think we are used to a certain creaminess that just wasn’t there. Time for Scrambled Tofu. Most of us are a little skeptical of tofu, so we might have been biased, but it wasn’t our favourite. The Leek & Potato Soup was ok, seemed a little watery; felt like it could use more texture to make it a little more hearty.

This is a brand new vegan restaurant.
.They have soups, wraps, pastas
I had the vegan ceasar salad and no chicken club wrap and both were really good!
My son had the pasta salad, the hot cocoa and the no chicken club wrap and really enjoyed it. My son says the wrap had all his favorite stuff in it.
My husband had the no chicken noodle soup, and the souvlaki wrap.
He also enjoyed all his food.
The chef, Gabriella, was very pleasant and helpful and we will definitely return.
The only disappointment is that they were sold out of the cookies and brownies so we hope to try these another time!
It is mostly takeout but they have 4 tables for 2 for eat in.
I think it would be great for take out for a group event.
