Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
In the past few weeks I’ve let pending reviews pile up, because I have been in the midst of graduating college and moving to DC in addition to the usual stressors of the holiday season. Now that the pace of life has slowed a bit, I am excited to share a new foodie find I discovered in my last week as a Maryland resident: Grabbagreen. While Grabbagreen can be categorized […]
If there’s one thing the world needs more of, it’s smoothie shops that use real ingredients. As a busy college student, smoothies are an essential part of my diet, as they enable me to consume much needed nutrients quickly and in a delicious fashion. When the New York City-based smoothie chain Juice Press announced that they were opening a store in DC’s Union Station, I jumped for joy because I […]
Although I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, there are times when I don’t always eat as many nutrient-rich foods as I could. That’s why I am a big fan of smoothie/acai bowls, which pack nutrition into every spoonful. Jrink is a juice shop here in Washington D.C. that has several locations around the city. I’ve passed by their locations before but for one reason or another did not stop in […]
Since purchasing a high-powered smoothie blender several months ago, I have cut down on ordering smoothies when dining out. Most store-made ones have sky-high sugar levels, and I like to control what goes into my custom blends. I have had South Block on my list of places to try for months now, and when I was in the neighborhood of Union Market, I decided to stop in and give them a try. […]
My final dispatch from Florida during my winter break from college comes from Winter Park, where I investigated Create Your Nature, a build-your-own smoothie and salad restaurant. With tons of naturally gluten-free and dairy-free options and a menu featuring nothing but healthy choice, it’s a win/win restaurant concept. Orlando’s restaurant scene is still in the development stage, and it’s nice to see quick-serve restaurants like this start to enter the scene […]
I have been on a smoothie kick of late, as I have visited many new-to-me smoothie shops in recent weeks. Although it’s currently winter, I don’t really let cold temperatures deter me from seeking these nutrient-dense blended beverages. While in visiting Orlando I made a point to check out The Smoothie Room because unlike major chains, they do not add sweeteners, syrups, or sugars to their smoothies. While smoothies are […]
The dawning of a new year is a time when most people take stock of their health habits and refocus on how to make the new year happier and healthier. As 2016 was coming to a close, Tropical Smoothie Cafe reached out to me and offered to team up for a fun giveaway to kick off 2017. I needed no persuasion to accept the offer, as Tropical Smoothie Cafe is my favorite of […]
Although this is not the case everywhere, December is certainly not prime smoothie-drinking weather here in Maryland. This time of year we tend to go for hot drinks and foods over frozen concoctions. However, upon hearing that Towson’s latest gluten-free friendly restaurant was Pure Raw Juice, a 100% organic and raw juice and smoothie bar, I did not let the season- nor freezing temperatures- deter me from checking out the newcomer […]
I’ve been to Washington D.C. enough times now that I now have to debate whether to visit beloved restaurants I have already been to or check out new ones. On my latest excursion, I decided to do the latter and check out as many new places as I could in my short time in the city. Making the list for places I wanted to check out was The Protein Bar, […]
November is a little bit past prime smoothie season here in the Mid Atlantic, but I wasn’t about to let chilly temperatures stop me from checking out a 100% organic plant-based cafe in Washington D.C. that puts juices, smoothies, and blended bowls front and center on their menu. Being 100% plant-based means that there are not animal products used (meat, eggs, milk, etc.) and that everything is vegan. Fruitive is not […]
