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).

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!

I went on a trek this week to Park City, UT to see Dawes.  It was absolutely FREEZING, but fantastically amazing.  On the way back home we stopped at a little gem called Heber City Café. I didn’t at all expect it to be like it was. I was thinking alright, so we are going to this café on the edge of town.  There will be cheap coffee, bacon and probably pancakes that taste like bacon. BUT no.

First of all, the café looks like it is part of a ghost town which was rediscovered and spruced up.  It just has this wonderful old-timey feel.

We walk in and the place is really comfortable.  The walls are this lovely green color with brown trim that feels natural and there are pretty little hanging lights. The menu is written on a chalkboard that promises organic selections that are as local as possible. I was reaaaaal pleased. The owners were fantastic and friendly.  The atmosphere was great.  The soundtrack would hop around from Marley, to Jack Johnson, to doo-wop. I was totally smitten with it all.

We ordered some coffee from Millcreek, a local roaster out of SLC, UT, which was delish.  I ordered the Turkey Bagel and a side salad with lemon Dijon vinaigrette.  The dressing was made in house and it was sweet and light. The bagel was perfect; not too dense. I also sampled my boyfriend’s French fries with homemade ketchup. UH YEAH. They were the bomb. A slight crisp on the outside paired with the tanginess of the ketchup… All in all I think the best way to describe the food at this joint is fresh.

If you make your way to Heber City stop by at Heber City Café.

You won’t be disappointed!
