Full Power Chicken Sandwich in Sharm
Presented by Omar Elfishawi – Full Power Juice Bar
Entrepreneur Omar Elfishawi is the brains and creative spirit behind the amazing new juice bar and sandwich shop in Genena City. His enthusiasm for healthy foods is clear from the products he sells but we wanted to know a little bit more about him and ‘Full Power’
How did you come to start your own business here in Sharm?
I love Sharm and I’ve always wanted to live here since the first time I came. It has a unique vibe and energy.
So, why a juice bar?
One thing I love about Sharm is there are so many sports you can do … you name it, you have it. Thing is after sports, I never had a place to go where I could get back my energy in a healthy way. I knew there were other people who were looking for this, and that’s when Full Power was born.
Are all the juice recipes your own? Do you think your Italian roots influence your food?
I add my own twist to all the recipes, but at the end of the day it’s really about choosing the best raw materials. And yes, I think this is a very Italian approach, though I like to learn from any culture. We also encourage our guests to post their recipes on our Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest pages and we often include some of their recipes and photo on the weekly menu.
What do you think is most important about your food the taste or its healthiness?
I think the most important factor is Awareness.I love (and I encourage my guests) to discover food, its properties, what carbs, proteins, and fats are, what the metabolism is and a lot, lot more. So, to answer your questions, between taste and health I choose both of them. I’d be happy to discuss more on that with anybody wishing to … just drop by!
What are your ambitions for the future?
We wish more and more people will get positive, vibrant and healthy and that when people ask them “How are you?”
they’ll answer “FULL POWER!”
