West Columbia has a great raw food and juice bar. Several people have told me about it so my husband and I went to check it out Friday night.
The top picture is what I ordered: Mediterranean Flax Wrap. It is filled with pesto, tapenade, lettuce, tomatoes and basil. Served with a garden salad and an amazing basil vinaigrette.
The bottom picture is what my husband ordered: Burrito, made with walnut meat, salsa and lettuce in a mexican flax wrap. served with a cold Kale salad and fruit.
I was so impressed with the meal and with my husband for coming with me. By the end of our meal three other brave men showed up with their female companions. The menu has many gluten-free options and is completely dairy free!
I loved the basil vinaigrette and the cold Kale Salad. (I made my own version of the Kale Salad yesterday.)
The meal filled us up and it was nice not worrying about whether there was gluten or dairy hidden in an ingredient. I think it's a great time to be gluten-free and dairy free in our culture. There are more options on the grocery shelves and in restaurants like never before. I am always looking for something new to add to my diet so I don't get bored with the staples of rice, potatoes, salad, etc. It keeps me from getting down about the things I can't have and helps me to focus on something new I can have.
The restaurant's website is: www.goodlifecafe.net
Check it out!
