Sweet Eats: Protein Bar
How can I forget! A client of mine reminded me of Protein Bar the other day - one of my fave healthy "fast food" joints! Opened in 2009 by Matt Matros after struggling to find convenient places to eat that would support his new healthy lifestyle (after years of being overweight and unhealthy) - Matt spent his life-savings to start what is now a booming business. Currently they have multiple locations in the downtown Chicago area and as well as DC.
Protein Bar's mission is to change the way people eat on the go. They aim for active, urbanites that are looking to eat healthy without getting too fussy about it. "We do healthy...healthier" is their motto and they get a thumbs up from me :)
You can find salads, wraps, bowls, smoothies and fresh juices that satisfy anyone's cravings from vegan to carnivore. Check'em out!

Sweet Eats: Flipside Cafe
Ok, I don’t know how I’ve been oblivious to this place for so long considering I live a hop-skip away. This awesome eatery resides in the house of Miko's Italian Ice in the cold winter months, running from Oct 2012 thru Mar 2013. They serve fresh homemade comfort food (most locally sourced) and rotate new items into their short ‘n sweet menu. Their most recent rotation: a vegan spicy butternut squash soup with coconut milk. Heaven. Add free wifi and sweet vinyl tunes makes the trek in the below-teens Chi temps well worth it. Try the kale burger and a game of Connect Four while you chow down!

Sweet Eats: Earth's Healing Cafe
If you haven't been to Earth's Healing Cafe just yet, I suggest you RUN to this charming, super deelish & healthy cafe in the North Center/ Ravenswood area. They seriously have the best juices, smoothies, and raw bites to go... not to mention they offer cleanses at great prices!
My sister introduced me to this haven of plant-based foods and I AM SPRUNG. They use nutritious and organic ingredients, and are the nicest people you'll meet. Here's what they have to say about themselves on their site: Earth’s Healing Cafe is found on the principles of Ma’at. Our operation is strictly governed by: Love, Truth, Harmony, Balance, Integrity & Order. I mean... LOVE THEM.
Go check'em out! I'm a fan of Love & Light smoothie and State of Mind (break me off a piece of that pls).
