I am now home from a wonderful trip to Maui! We went to Maui to kite surf as our main activity as the wave sailing there is just incredible. We did many other things such as stand up paddle board surfing, surfing, and checked out all the great sites. We stayed in Paia which is an old plantation town on the North Shore of the island.

This is me kitesurfing in the incredible waters of Kanaha, Maui.
The one and only grocery store in Paia is called Mana Foods. This is not your typical grocery store! I was in heaven here. The produce section featured local, organic produce and there were fruits/veggies there that I’d never even seen before. They had boxes of passion fruit, one of my favorite types of fruit, so I had at least 4 a day!
They also have a vegan salad bar which features organic salads, pastas, quinoa and so much more. Every morning I went for a run and did yoga on the beach followed by a visit to Mana Foods on the way home to pick up our lunch – a raw food wrap. It was delicious!
They also have a great selection of fresh fish which we cooked up for dinners and ate with our incredible salads.
Mana Foods also has its own bakery which bakes wheat free and vegan goods, with specialty breads and pastries. Yum. Around the corner is the “vitamin room” which carries great products (great prices too). This was another one of my favorite areas of the store!
If you are heading to Maui, I highly recommend stopping by Mana!
To your health,
