A Rad Recipe from Summer Sizzle Detox!

 
Who says detox recipes have to be bland and boring? NOT THIS GIRL. Since I'm a choco-holic, I had to share the love with you all. Enjoy!
 

Chocolate Covered Cherry 

1 cup water, unsweetened coconut milk, hemp milk, or rice milk
½ avocado
¾ cup of frozen cherries
1 tablespoon ground flax
1 tablespoon ground chia
1 tablespoon raw cacao
½ dropper of stevia
3-4 ice cubes (optional)

Throw all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend baby blend. Enjoy with a cherry on top :)

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: 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).
