Life is about to get sweeter, Boise! Revitalize Juice Bar is coming to town.

On Saturday, I attended the grand opening of Revitalize Juice Bar’s new location in Old Boise. I love going to their location in The Village at Meridian, and I am so excited for them to have a location that’s closer to where I live and work!

Revitalize offers a wide variety of nutrient dense juices, kombucha on tap, protein smoothies, lattes, and fruit bowls. They have pitaya bowls, acai bowls, and coconut bowls inspired by the owners’ trips to Hawaii, and they truly are a refreshing bit of paradise!

Both locations are welcoming and have plenty of seating to hang out with friends after a good workout (I recommend re-fueling with a lavender vanilla protein smoothie which is TO DIE FOR).

Or you can hang in the swinging chair at the Boise location and read (or blog!) while eating an Oregon bowl (acai, blueberries, strawberries, banana, goji berries, hemp hearts, honey, and bee pollen).

Week 2 of #IdahoIceCreamSundaes! I’m very excited to tell you about this wonderful ice cream shop.

Forty miles outside of Boise is the quaint little town of Idaho City (‘city’ being a misnomer). Idaho City is surround by national forest and beautiful mountain scenery and within the town is the cutest ice cream and gift shop called Sarsaparilla.

Sarsaparilla scoops up to five flavors on a cone, and they make their waffle cones in house! They’ll also mix you up a milkshake, or you can order a deliciously rich brownie sundae topped with hot fudge and peanut butter. There are around 16 different flavors of ice cream to choose from, including maple nut, butter pecan, cotton candy, and (my personal favorite) black licorice. You’re welcome to sample any of the flavors before you buy, but it’s going to be a tough choice! It’s the perfect treat to enjoy on their spacious front porch on a sunny summer day!

Hey all! Did you know that July 15th is National Ice Cream day!?

I really dig these national days for food, and could there be a better way to celebrate than a waffle cone?

There are way too many wonderful ice cream places to let all the recognition fall onto a single day. So, we will be using the hashtag #IdahoIceCreamSundaes to celebrate one or more shops every Sunday in July.

This post is a two-fer!

The STIL (Boise)

The STIL (The Sweetest Things in Life) in downtown Boise is the place you’ll want to be when that craving for something sweet hits. This ice cream shop offers unique, vegan, and booze-infused flavors so there’s something delish for everyone. Flavors rotate often, but I recommend Picnic in the Park (raspberry+goat cheese+walnut), Idaho Wilderness (berry+local lavender from Red Chair Lavender), or Pool Days (mint+lime+rum+mojito). The STIL also gives you the option of pairing your ice cream with local and regional beer and wine options OR you can have them scoop you some ice cream onto local cookies from Sugar Whipped and Gluten Free Galaxy for an ice cream sandwich! Cookies also come in vegan and gluten free options.

Reed’s Dairy (Idaho Falls and Meridian)

Oh, the whole-milk goodness. This is not the shop to go to if you are looking for almond, soy, alternative ice cream, ok? This shop houses fresh, flavorful, and creamy treats that are sure to bring a smile to your face. You’ll be sure to see flavors like strawberry or huckleberry any time of the year. However, watch out for some rotating flavors that aren’t always in shop (coconut almond fudge, honey comb crunch). Honey comb crunch is definitely one of my favorites! It’s a blend of cinnamon, chocolate pieces of honey comb, and graham cracker.

Milkshakes with local strawberries, brown cows (ice cream and chocolate milk floats), and grilled cheese sandwiches are other items you don’t want to miss.

If you can’t stand to leave without taking some deliciousness home —don’t worry! Reed’s also offers tubs of ice cream to take home, milk, and cheese from their farm, or you can have milk delivered to you!

After a grueling five hour staff meeting at work, I needed some fuel. And for some casual healthy lunch the best option is Wild Root Cafe on 8th St. in Boise.

The staff is friendly, the decor is beautiful, and the food is like nowhere else!

I recommend the Indian “Nacho” Flatbread (which is a wrap you can carry to go), the Market Melt (which changes seasonally. I got the cardamom pear with brie), or the PB&B (peanut butter and banana with fresh local peanut butter from City Peanut).

They also have a selection of fresh squeezed juices and kombucha from Idaho Kombucha Co.

Wild Root Cafe is a must if you want to eat locally and eat well!
