Fruitas

Nothing beats fresh fruit smoothies when you’re in the midst of a hot day. Fruitas – a local fruit smoothie franchise – supplies you with no additive smoothies that are both delicious and filling every time. Though fresh fruit smoothies can be found almost anywhere nowadays, these refreshing (and cheap!) smoothies will have you questioning if anyone else’s smoothies are really as fresh as they claim.

Greenwich Pizza

Now under the Jollibee Foods Corporation umbrella, Greenwich Pizza is a Philippines-based pizza and pasta chain. Sure the Philippines has their own franchises of some of our favorite pizza places like Pizza Hut, Papa John’s and Dominos, but giving their recipes a try is great way to experience an everyday American meal through the eyes and flavors of the Philippines.

Goldilocks

If the name Goldilocks sounds familiar, then you may have been exposed to it if you’ve cruised around certain parts of the west coast. While its franchise is still growing over here in the United States, there’s nothing like picking up some delicious native sweets from the actual country they were derived from. Not a huge fan of sweet delights? Goldilocks has got some tasty food options for you too.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to try out one of the state-side locations (which aren’t found in many areas), heading while in the Philippines is a great option – especially if you’re looking for Americanized food. Not traveling to the Philippines? No worries, Project Pie is expanding in the U.S., Scotland, and Dubai!
