Proud Sprout - Collingwood

I’ve now been to proud spout twice and seeing as the meatball bowl was so good the first time, I couldn’t go past it the second! I must admit, it was a noticeably smaller portion the second time however. Nonetheless it was definitely large enough for lunch. The meatballs themselves are flavourful and the eggplant and pickled turnip are standout. My friend ordered the tofu bowl and I have to say, this dish looked second rate (dry and the pickled carrot was not pickled). So it may be the kind of place that has a few inconsistencies. But speaking from my experiences, I’m a fan.

Proud sprout cafe in Collingwood. I came in the lunch time with colleagues. Ordered the meat ball lunch bowl and it was healthy and tasty. Coffee was also strong and nice. Good healthy place to dine in.

So aptly named supercharged bowls. Definitely was supercharged after devouring one of these bowls. The Middle Eastern Spiced Beef Meatballs bowl (what a mouthful) not only tasted healthy and delicious, it was quite substantial yet does not weigh you down. The chargrilled eggplants and roast broccoli added a depth of flavour to the bowl. A bit on the salty side, but you can't say this bowl lacked any flavours!<br/ <br/ The Super Acai Bowl was bursting with berries goodness, and I was sold when I saw the huge dollop of peanut butter on top. The house made granola were deliciously crunchy too. Same price as the aforementioned savoury bowl, but slightly smaller in sized so that was a bit of a minor grievance for me.<br/ <br/ A great alternative for when I'm after something healthy that isn't a poke or a salad.

My friend has been raving about this place and I finally decided to visit Proud Sprout for lunch. We ordered the Mediterranean spiced meat balls and they did not disappoint. I absolutely loved the eggplant in the dish! The cous cous had a nice bite and the other elements were delicious too. Will be revisiting soon!

A amazing Buddha bowl style cafe for quick healthy meals! If your fan of poke style bowls you will love proud sprout as they offer a whole range of Buddha bowl fillings that I personally prefer to the poke style bowls. The charred eggplant and broccoli is absolutely amazing and the tofu only thing I did not quite like was the spiced pumpkin which was almost hummus styled (I ordered uber eats and thought it would be roast pumpkin chunks) but can’t really fault them on this as I didn’t physically visit the store itself. Found it to be reasonably priced. I am so keen to come here in person and would definitely recommend if your looking for a healthy option. If you like poke style bowls and laneway greens the you will love proud sprout- in my opinion offers more flavoursome toppings and a wider variety of options for toppings. I wish I lived closer.Update: roasted sweet potato is to die for! The Mediterranean meatballs was also received well! Visited in person and the shop is really cute with extra seating in a courtyard out the back- would be so nice in the summer.
