Those looking to combine work with pleasure and stay healthy at the same time have a new venue to explore. Flow, a “paleo health hub and creative workspace”, opened yesterday at Jumeirah Emirates Towers and is the brainchild of the Emirates Youth Council and the UAE Minister of State for Youth Affairs, Shamma Bint Suhail Faris Al Mazrui.
Inspired by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and set up as an open workspace with power plugs, USB connections, Wi-Fi and room for meetings, Flow will also host regular round-tables featuring young leaders to stimulate imaginations, reshape the cultural landscape and cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit.
One of its main point of differences is the desire to promote a healthy lifestyle, which is seen through its healthy food offerings and its push for patrons to embrace a healthy state of mind.
“Flow has been created by youth to be a destination to connect and lead the movement towards a healthy lifestyle,” says Al Mazrui. “The correct diet ensures a healthy mind and when people are in this state – the state of flow as we call it – they reach their optimum potential. Flow is where the UAE’s next generation of innovative leaders will connect, create and converse over nutritious food and specialty coffee in a space that nurtures creativity.”
The menu features healthy snacks, salads and grab-and-go bites that are organic and locally sourced where possible. It also offers vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and paleo-friendly options. The coffee is provided by Dubai’s The Espresso Lab, which was founded by Emirati Ibrahim Al Mallouhi.
Those who avoid dairy are spoilt for choice with the country’s first “milk taps”, offering almond, rice, soya and coconut milk.
