I live in NYC now, but Cincinnati is my hometown and one of my favorite cities in America. Each time I visit, I go to Melt Eclectic Cafe for lunch or Sunday brunch. It’s a favorite among locals and is located in a cool part of town called Northside. Though it’s very vegan and vegetarian friendly, the cafe also serves meat and dairy cheese, so its versatility makes Melt a wonderful spot to go to with my friends and family who aren’t veggie like me. We can all eat in harmony!
America has been hit by a juice craze that’s making many of us drop $55 or more on a colorful liquid cleanse. In New York City, we have so many juice spots that it’s hard to walk around Manhattan without stumbling upon a Juice Generation or Juice Press, two of the more well-known places that have popped up there. But it’s not just NYC that’s sippin’ on juice and juice. The craze has come to my hometown, Cincinnati, with Off The Vine juice bar.
For a while, it seemed like every single protein bar out there was made with soy protein isolate, which was frustrating as a plant-based eater. Since I eat edamame, tofu and tempeh every week, I like to limit my soy-based protein bar consumption since too much soy isn’t good for our bodies. Thankfully, Squarebar uses brown rice protein for a different way to fuel up!
When I moved to NYC after I graduated college, I came to rely on quick and easy food solutions. Small, 100 – 300 calorie mini-meals have become my saving grace in so many situations! Now, I eat several small meals throughout the day and always have a snack in my purse.
I recently tried a trial of Aloha Daily Good Greens and was impressed! They’re powdered superfood blends that are vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free of artificial ingredients. I loved them so much that I became a Brand Ambassador & am giving you a code below for 20% off your order.
Over the past two years, I’ve been trying new vegan foods and transiting from vegetarian to vegan. Naturally, now that I’m eating a full vegan diet in 2015, I want to take a step up and try eating more of a RAW vegan diet! Not fully raw, just more raw (for now)!
