sun, love, air & fruit

Every time I’ve sat on this lawn, the lawn of UC Berkeley, I’ve had a stunningly delicious vegan cinnamon roll from Cinnaholic, but I did not have one yesterday.

I changed…for the better, choosing instead to get two raw cacao truffles from the Green Earth Cafe & Bakery. Success. :)

Delicious lunch: Agave-Mustard Kale & Kelp Salad with tomatoes, onion, and avocado. Add some Brother Bru-Bru’s for a kick.

A post-workout-and-my-calves-are-really-really-sore midnight snack: Tropical Orange (banana, mango, & OJ) with spinach.

Do we have enough bananas?

I got all of the ones on the bottom shelf at Berkeley Bowl for $4. Thanks, Bargain Bags!

Tangy Summer Soup (and Victoria Boutenko’s favorite green smoothie!)

1 head of organic red leaf romaine

5-7 sun-dried tomatoes

10 Small Tomatoes 

1/2 onion

2 cloves garlic

Lime (we used four, but we’re a little nuts!)

1/2 Avocado

Serves two.

Best when followed with banana ice cream. :) 

Emily and Alexa’s Best Cart Ever at Berkeley Bowl 

Organic Greens: rainbow chard, red russian kale, dandelion greens, and red romaine

Kelp Noodles (mmm!)

Black-Label Grape Kombucha (my favorite!) 

Stoneground Mustard (sugar and salt free!)

And “bargain bag” produce ($1 per bag!): bananas, kale, tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, and garlic. 

Fantastic day. 

Queen of the Greens. A beautiful day at The Berkeley Bowl West. 

Thanks to my housemate for snapping this. :D

Oh, I’d really like these. They’re perfect.
