Traveling Raw Vegan & Gluten Free: United States

Ginger's Garden Cafe - Springville Utah

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!

Chef Sara's Raw Vegan Academy & Cafe

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.

Mystic Chocolate

This review is a bit different from the ones we usually do. This is a product review. We were recently sent some mystic chocolate, an Artisan Stone-Ground Raw Chocolate. The Chocolates are Organic, Vegan, and Paleo friendly. The chocolates themselves are gluten-free, but they are processed in the environment that has gluten, thus cross-contamination is possible. The companies goal for this year is to transfer to a gluten-free facility. We received the chakra set, which contained is a small box of seven pieces of chocolate. The chocolates were bite-sized, and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. They are made of Raw Cacao Butter, Raw Cacao Powder, Coconut Palm Sugar, and Medicine Flower Extracts and Essences. All of the flavors were amazing! We really enjoyed Root and Crown. Root has a nice bite to it, and Crown was light and airy. Overall the whole experience was positive.
