Abu and I went to Cafe Gratitude in Larchmont with a friend for some yummy vegan food. I kicked off brunch with an “I AM RESTORED” adrenal latte with ashwaganda, pine pollen, cordyceps, maca, and raw honey. It was good, but I forgot that my adrenal system is already sped up, so, well, oh boy, look out! Talk about waking up with coffee, yowsirs!
For grub, I ordered an “I AM WHOLE” 🥬 bowl based on the recommendation of my friend, and it did not disappoint. This macrobiotic bowl has it all: braised butternut squash, stewed adzuki beans, kimchee, sea vegetables, sautéed kale, garlic tahini, and toasted tamari almonds on top of a mix of brown rice and quinoa (feel free to add an avocado 🥑 if you have extra dough to spare!).
The I AM WHOLE bowl is so good that I’ve since ordered it a few times to my house, because I just can’t live without it. After brunch, Abu wanted to check out Jeni’s Ice Cream, so we strolled over there for dessert.
Though I’d been to Jeni’s before, I didn’t realize they have a little yard out back, so we sat back there to snack on Jeni’s Brown Butter Almond Brittle in peace in the shade with little Abu.
