Traveling Raw Vegan & Gluten Free

Ginger's Garden Cafe is our favorite health food restaurant in Utah. Located in Springville, Utah in a health food/herb store/yoga studio space, this little cafe has amazingly flavorful food. Made out of local, organic, whole foods, you can really taste the love. Most of the food is vegan or available in a vegan version. They do have gluten in the facility, but they have separate preparation stations, so cross-contamination is less likely. They have some really unique flavor combinations, that are absolutely scrumptious. I really enjoyed the mango salad as well as the freshly squeezed juice. Definitely worth making the trip to visit it! 

Unfortunately, as it tends to be with some vegan restaurants, it was a bit hit or miss. We found that this restaurant was excellent the first time we visited, but not as good the second time. The juices were fresh, the kale chips and dip, and salad were good and flavorful, but fairly basic recipes and easily could have been made at home. I think that the crepes were the most unique concept, they were a bit overly sweet and were more like a sweet wrap then crepes.  The positive thing was that everything available was raw, vegan and gluten-free. The staff was also fairly knowledgeable about nut and nightshade allergies. this restaurant is in a very central location to all of the main tourist attractions in Prague as it is located in Prague 1 district. We didn't try any of their desserts, but they did have quite a few options available. 

 Cave Creek, Arizona
Chef Sara's Raw Vegan Cafe offers many options and is the place to go for those with allergies! They don't use cashews and avoid most nightshades. We found that though there are a lot of options, the food flavors are extremely similar. The food was amazing, but pizza and burgers should have some difference in flavor. They used the same side salad for all of their dishes, which is cost effective but doesn't offer variety. The dehydrated wrap used in the ravioli was amazing! 

 Their health drinks and smoothies are just that, super healthy and packed full of nutrients, but you can definitely taste the superfood powders. Not the most appetizing thing. The environment is very laid back. Cave Creek is a beautiful upscale area, truly a hidden gem. If you visit Chef Sara's be sure to get the cinnamon roll.
