Origins
Alexis has conquered the corporate world in many ways. He has worked for world class luxury brands and climbed the corporate ladder at an explosive rate; he then stepped into the limelight securing a position in the top 3 in
AXN’s The Apprentice Asia with
Tony Fernandes in 2013. Now he looks to put into use his rich experience and grow his own business YOLO.
The idea for YOLO stemmed from the common notion that eating healthy is ‘boring, tasteless and expensive’. Being a strong fan of good quality food, Alexis is driven to offer this value to the mass market and create a shift from healthy eating a practice restricted to health fanatics or workout enthusiasts.
Taking the first step to making this dream a reality the first YOLO outlet was opened to the public at ICON VILLAGE in 2015. Under their iconic slogan #EATYOURGOALS, YOLO is fast growing into one of Singapore’s most preferred healthy Halal food businesses.
How it Works
Many shy away from eating healthy because it seems complicated at a glance. But YOLO has come up with an innovative menu that makes eating healthy super-easy and extra enjoyable. All you have to do is pick one of the two options.
Signature dishes – designed by YOLO’s own professional nutritionist you have the option of selecting a meal option based on your goals.
Shape up: A low-calorie menu to get you the dream body you desire.
Energise: Low-GI dishes designed to give you an added energy boost
Build: Protein-packed, ideal to bulk up
Glow: High in vitamins for youthful, glowing skin
Build your own healthy meal: Offers a range of protein, sides, topping and sauce that helps you build your own meal according to your target calorie intake.
Make the Meals to Suit the Local’s Palate
The YOLO menu has been carefully crafted to be enjoyable but still stay healthy at the same time. Creating Muslim-friendly food dishes appealing to locals was, therefore, the main focus. Alexis took the time to watch what his employees enjoyed for lunch and included some of the favourite aspects of the use of coconut milk, also known as
'santan', which is a popular ingredient in most Asian dishes. This is actually the secret ingredient of Asian Green and Coconut Chicken with Brown Rice & Veggies – a best-seller.
Creative with Healthy Substitution
If you notice the dish Cauliflower “Fried Rice” with Chicken & Veggies on their menu, you might think it actually serves fried rice, like most of the customers who tried it, did. You might be pleasantly surprised to find out, this ‘rice’ is actually made from pulsing cauliflower in a food processor, then baked. Healthy aye?
Healthy but Delicious Desserts and Refreshing Beverages
When we try to eat healthily, most often than not, we might have to forgo some of the more enjoyable parts like dessert or refreshers. Not with YOLO! Their amazing menu features yummy desserts like Probiotic Acai Bowl with Fresh Fruits, Chia Sees & Granola, and a wide range of smoothies, refreshers, tea and coffee, all of which contain no added sugar.
