Cleanse Diary – Should You Purium Cleanse?

I’ve Master Cleansed, Hcg-ed, Whole30ed, and now, Purium Cleanse-d. Hell, they even call it a 10-Day Celebrity Transformation, so obviously this faux celeb has to try it. As everyone and their mom (including my mom, literally) is doing some sort of reset or cleanse for the new year, it seems like an apropos time to…

Amazing Plant-Based Supps: Ora

I am a red-meat-eatin’ Texan (grass-fed only, duh), but I’m also a good dirty hippie who loves her some clean, plant-based products like these beauties. This brand-new line of supplements—protein, probiotics, and Omega-3 spray—being produced right here in Southern California (LA) is called Ora: ora.organic. I love these products. Ora claims to be the first…

Austin: Giveaway! Tix to Advance Screening of Forks Over Knives

“The answer is so simple it’s criminal: people starting to take responsibility for their health.” This trailer is for FORKS OVER KNIVES, a film examining the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods*. *You know that…

Aspen: Mountain Naturals $6.50 Burger

Burgers aren’t hard to find in Aspen (LOVE Belly Up’s double and sweet potato fries!!) But burgers under $10? Rare. So when Mountain Naturals, the crunchy store in the ABC, announced lunch specials like a $6.50 burger, I had to check it out. Served on an english muffin with as many toppings as you’d like,…

Cheer Up Charlie’s Grand Opening

Finally our hippie town is getting the food to match! I’ve heard great things about their coconut milk drinks served in a coconut, cacao drinks, and goji-berry-stuffed raw chocolate, but there’s more to come too! The east side is getting so hot … … And Happy 25th Birthday to a certain June bride …

El Greco < Raw Food Bar at Whole Foods

I’d been wanting to try El Greco for awhile, ever since my mom met the head chef and told me how nice he was and that I needed to go try his restaurant. It’s on 31st & Guadalupe, behind the Mangia–which is a disadvantage for me, because I’d rather eat the delicious Mangia pizza I…

Daily Juice Cafe

Hello! I’m Lisa, and I’m often mentioned as one of Lyssa’s “companions” when she blogs. I’m now getting my own voice! I started counting down the days to the Daily Juice Café opening last spring, after a Daily Juicer on a party boat told me about the plans for a full restaurant. Daily Juice smoothies…
