QUIZINE asks on its outdoor signage if you’re tired of eating “crap”. Yes, “crap”.

If Quizine knows anything, it knows its position in the market. The name stands for quick and healthy cuisine – eating right at an affordable price. It’s serious business, but the vibe is far from stern; it’s perky, lively and playful.

Quizine is in a spot on Botany Street, Phillip, that has always served food, but these owners took over, renovated and brightened the place up. The service is still quick, but the dishes are now healthy and full of flavour.

Quizine is most famous for its line-up of Fit Meals. You make your own meal by selecting size and protein (including steak, chicken, fish), one or two bases (including rice, sweet potato mash, gourmet garden salad), signature extras (including avo, poached eggs, marinated eggplant) and a side sauce (11 varieties). You can even add good fats for an extra $1.50.

If you’re lazy (tsk, tsk) you can opt for one of the “pre-designed” options. There are 10 all up.

Perhaps it’s because the café is across from a big gym, but Fit Meals are named after stuff you’d do while “working out”, such as Ultimate Bulk Trainer and Lean and Clean. Get over it, Wendy, get over it.

I was lazy and ordered the Classic Fit Meal.

This range of Fit Meals are 125 grams ($12.50 to $19) or 200 grams ($15.50 to $22). I ordered the 125 grams of lightly grilled chicken breast, served with brown rice, broccoli and carrots. I kept reassuring myself that the taste would come with the chunky satay salsa packed with good fats. It did. The meal also arrived piping hot. The chicken was moist and tender, the brown rice neither soggy nor undercooked and the veggies perfect with just a bit of crunch.

Quizine also dishes up healthy salads, including a sweet potato and quinoa ($14.50 to $15.50).

Quizine attracts folks who have just been to the gym (no surprise there), but also business folks, mums and bubs and even blokes sporting fluros.

I openly admit I felt a bit healthier when I walked out the door and was pretty pleased with myself. So there.
