Mobile Food: It CAN Be Gourmet!

Posted August 7th, 2012 in Blog, Updates by tim

You really can get gourmet food from mobile food trucks

You’re at a street fair, the races or a concert. Maybe you’re just in Venice Beach. You’re hungry. You see all the mobile food trucks parked in the infield or up and down the block. You want to GET some food from those trucks but you don’t want greasy burgers or burritos. You start looking for some food that is tasty and a bit gourmet. Just when you are about to give up on finding some something that could be considered gourmet, you see it: the My Organic Oasis mobile food truck, where you will find some of the best food all-natural, organic gourmet ingredients in our smoothies and snacks.Mobile Food Truck

Let’s face it: when you think of “mobile food,” you rarely think of a nice, clean truck with gourmet mobile food. You think of carne asada breakfast burritos with some kind of mystery meat or burgers and fries that not only have no taste, they are NOT good for you and are certainly not gourmet.

My Organic Oasis is a gourmet mobile food truck that excels and prides itself in making some of the most delicious smoothies and snacks made with all-natural, vegan and gourmet ingredients. Our truck is one of the only mobile food trucks, gourmet or otherwise, in the industry that is powered solely by liquid propane and solar energy.

Unlike other mobile food trucks, My Organic Oasis uses only gourmet ingredients including raw and vegan ingredients such as fresh fruits and raw cacao powder for the tasty gourmet smoothies and raw organic avocados for the delicious Nori Roll and Avo Bowls.

Find out where the Organic Oasis Food Truck will be next and come on down for some good (and good for you!). You just might be surprise on what kind of gourmet food selections you can get from a mobile food truck.

Organic Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream Is Still The Same

Posted August 6th, 2012 in Blog, Updates by tim
Organic Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream

Tomberlies will transition to Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream

Tomberlies Ice Cream is transitioning to Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream. It’s made from raw, vegan ingredients. Those raw vegan ingredients include ice cream that is free from dairy, gluten and soy and has no thickeners or fillers of any kind. And of course, all our ingredients and fruits are fresh and raw, not processed! That’s why Organic Oasis bought it and will continue producing it only with a different name: Organic Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream.

The fact that it will still be called Tomberlies and Organic Oasis simultaneously for the near future is part of the transition process that will take place over the next few months. Nothing will change. NOT the ingredients. NOT the process. NOT the same great taste, which has been called “Fantastic!” and “Great tasting.” Organic Oasis will continue to take great pride in producing this fine product which we have come to love.

The Organic Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream brand will still be available throughout Northern and Southern California at all the same places you  have come to expect it like the Earth Bars’ in the L.A. area and the North Coast Co-ops in Northern California to Whole Foods and Jimbos in San Diego County. And of course Mother’s Markets and Kitchens in Orange County.

So, keep an eye out for the Organic Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream brand AND Tomberlies in your local food store. We will always use the same great raw, vegan ingredients in every cup of ice cream. And we will continue to use the same great processes when making our ice cream. All so you can keep getting the same great taste!

Raw Foods: Not just good for you, GREAT for you!

Posted July 31st, 2012 in Nutrition, Updates by tim

When people think of raw foods, they often think of Brussels sprouts and parsnips. They think of uncooked hamburger or chicken. To a lot of people the word “raw” and “food” should rarely go together. “Raw foods” are either unhealthy or are the stuff of extreme health nuts who subsist on tasteless, boring food. Boy, are they WRONG!

Raw Fruit is great for you!

Organic Oasis uses only raw fruits in our smoothies!

What does “raw foods” mean, anyway?

What if I told you that raw foods are not only good for you, but can be great tasting as well? What about delicious raw foods like strawberries, blueberries, bananas and other fruits? How about the raw cacao powder that we use to make our Mayan Chocolate Smoothie? Or the fresh, ripe raw avocado in our Avo Bowl (which just so happens to be entirely vegan as well)?

Eating a diet rich in raw foods can provide you with more nutrients without added chemicals, preservatives or additives. Raw foods are often tastier because a lot of the flavor may be lost during the cooking process. Overall, eating a raw food diet with lots of fruits and vegetables is a start to a much healthier you.

At the Organic Oasis Food Truck, we make it our mission to bring the best and tastiest raw foods out to the people. The ingredients in our smoothies and our snacks are 100% raw, vegan and seasonal, meaning that they are ripe and packed with flavor! All our concoctions are hand made with care from the finest raw ingredients like fruits, cacao powder and coconut milk, which not only makes them vegan and raw, but organic as well!

So find out where we will be next and come join us for a great-tasting raw foods-based alternative to the usual food truck fare, like a great tasting smoothie or an all natural bowl or roll.

 

Tomberlies Ice Cream Is Now Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream

Posted July 24th, 2012 in Updates by tim

Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream to replace Tomberlies

Organic Oasis, Inc., the LA-based purveyor of gourmet mobile foods is now producing Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream brand ice cream, formerly known as Tomberlies Ice Cream. Continuing the tradition of raw, delicious foods, Organic Oasis will still be committed to producing ice cream that is all natural, raw and great tasting.

Organic Oasis will be making the Oasis Raw Vegan ice cream with the same ingredients that have always gone into this fantastic desert when it was produced by Tomberlies. We will be producing it with the same equipment, the same recipes and the same raw vegan organic ingredients (such as young thai coconut, raw cashews, raw agave syrup, whole vanilla bean, raw cocoa powder, raw cocoa butter and fresh seasonal fruit) that have always gone into the Tomberlies brand.

For the near future, the ice cream will be produced and sold under both brand names until the switch over can be completed and then it will be sold under the Organic Oasis label exclusively. But, it will always be the same raw vegan ice cream that you’ve come to enjoy. It will now just be called Oasis Raw Vegan Ice Cream instead.

Organic Oasis: A Food Truck That Doesn’t Make You Feel Guilty

Posted July 24th, 2012 in Blog, Nutrition, Updates by tim

Organic Oasis Food TruckThey’ve been called “the roach coach,” “the food truck,” and “the taco truck.” Mainly serving fast fast-food, they are a guilty pleasure full of high calories, high sodium, high fat and are NOT a diet plan one should dedicate themselves to every day. All this while you wait next to a truck spitting out diesel fumes near you and your food. But, what if there were an alternative? At the Organic Oasis food truck, we are changing all that.

Do food trucks have to make you feel guilty when you eat from them? No. Not if you want to eat healthy foods that can be found at the Organic Oasis truck. Our truck is completely powered by liquid propane and the power of the sun! It’s a hybrid where even the equipment inside is solar powered. Our truck leaves a minimal carbon footprint and there are no smelly fumes while waiting for your great tasting food. We even use biodegradable cups, making us one of the most eco-friendly food trucks around.

And we are not just proud of our truck! The Organic Oasis truck is dedicated to bringing you great tasting and vegan foods and smoothies! Made fresh daily and with seasonal flavorings that change throughout the year, Organic Oasis is proud to offer smoothies that are 100% vegan and gluten and dairy free. Our food dishes are tasty and made from 100% fresh ingredients.

Organic Oasis is proud to offer up gourmet smoothies and foods & snacks that are great tasting and good for you! We are environmentally conscious about everything we do and will only use ingredients that are good for the environment. That includes our truck! So, when you visit from Organic Oasis, you won’t have to feel guilty about eating from a “food truck.”

Organic Oasis: What ISN’T in Our Smoothies.

Posted July 17th, 2012 in Blog, Updates by tim

At Organic Oasis, we pride ourselves on making not ONLY the best tasting gourmet smoothies and snacks made fresh daily, but we offer 100% vegan ingredients that are also gluten and dairy free. Our flavors are seasonal and therefore change when fruits are in season. Our ingredients, our products and even our truck is eco-friendly, helping YOU to look and feel good and live a healthier life.

But, what are you getting at other smoothie providers if you aren’t visiting the Organic Oasis food truck? Let’s take a look:

IOrganic Ingredientsf you walk down to your local smoothie provider, chances are that you are going to get three main ingredients in your smoothie: ice, something with milk (yogurt, for example) and fruit blend flavoring. Let’s take a look at a standard pineapple smoothie. At your local smoothie place, you are probably going to get a 1. Some kind of pineapple juice blend, pineapple sherbet and nonfat yogurt (both of which contain milk), ice and bananas (fresh?). Not quite fresh, is it?

At Organic Oasis, our ingredients are all natural: FRESH coconut water, FRESH orange juice, FRESH pineapple juice, FRESH bananas and raw vanilla. Clearly, you can see the difference in our ingredients when you get the pineapple smoothie. But, it’s not just pineapple. ALL of our smoothies at Organic Oasis are made with fresh, raw ingredients, which are healthier for you.

Healthy ingredients lead to healthier smoothies, which lead to a healthier you, which is what Organic Oasis is all about!

Embrace Raw Food – Embrace You!

Posted June 27th, 2012 in Blog, Updates by Peter

The word “raw” is thrown around a lot.  What does it truly mean?  What does it mean to you?  To me, it means taking off the armor we wear, the pretty packaging and candy-coating that looks great, but has a “nutra-sweet” after-taste that I think we are all quietly aware of.

Why? Let’s be proud to be who we are, love ourselves for that true, sometimes gritty, taste that has a greater reward than any donut can provide.  Remember riding in the back of a pick-up truck with your friends and the dog?  Or jumping off the dock into the lake?  What is that feeling?  Can you get it again?  Yes!  I can’t define the feeling but I know that whatever it is…it’s RAW, raw fun!  That’s what living raw and eating raw food does.  It encourages going for the pure nectar of the flower, the pure nectar of life.

The Sun to the Rescue!

Posted June 21st, 2012 in Blog, Updates by Peter

The Sun to the rescueDid you know Louis XIV was a fan of solar power?

“Because of the light it shines on the other stars which make up a kind of court around it, because of the just and equal distribution of its rays to all alike, because of the good it brings to all places, producing life, joy and action, because of its constancy from which it never varies, I chose the sun as the most magnificent image to represent a great leader.”
- Louis XIV, the Sun King, 1638-1715

That’s quite an endorsement from the legendary French monarch, but he’s right: Solar Power is absolutely awesome! Continue Reading »

Eat Well, Enjoy Life

Posted June 5th, 2012 in Updates by Peter

Enjoy LifeThere is an old saying, “when you look good, you feel good,” but Organic Oasis feels that “when you eat well, you feel good.” We provide only the freshest products to guide you through your organic oasis. Just like our eco-friendly truck, we only put the best ingredients in our bodies.  Imagine sitting across from the Venice boardwalk, the sun is in your face and you start to feel so very thirsty. You look up to see the back of a food truck a few feet away from you. But the last thing you want is the smell of exhaust fumes.  What a discovery!  You’re walking toward Organic Oasis, the world’s first solar powered smoothie truck so the only scent is the smell of fresh fruits and veggies being blended up for some amazing smoothies. As you take a sip of a delicious Trippleberry organic smoothie, your first sensation is the delicious taste and cooling feeling of sweet, organic, wild blueberries. You taste a hint of banana freshened by coconut water and the delicious acai berry from the Brazilian Amazon that Continue Reading »
