Looking for a healthy dinner out and kid friendly? Check out Ginger’s Cafe in Springville. The #vegan nachos are the best I’ve ever had! The falafel wrap and veggie wrap are really good too. For kids, the chik’n nuggets that come with almond milk and lollipop are a hit!

Recipe: Almond Milk
Yield 1 quart
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup raw almonds
5 cups water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (or to taste)
DIRECTIONS:
Soak almonds uncovered over night in room temperature water. Rinse very well. 3-4 cups water with almonds in high-powered blender. Blend until thoroughly and finely blended. There will be tiny almond pieces at bottom. We leave in, but you can strain out pieces if desired. Store in air tight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week (if it lasts that long!!).
Blueberry banana walnut ice cream
We saw a gal on Dr. Oz’s show who lost a lot of weight (like ~200#… holy cow that’s amazing!) eating the “Eat To Live” way. She had a major sweet tooth, so found that she still craved sweets. She created this adaptation of Dr. Fuhrman’s Banana Walnut Ice Cream, by adding some blueberries. Delish!
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS:
1 frozen banana
2 tablespoons walnut
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup almond milk
DIRECTIONS:
Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender, serve immediately. Can be doubled. (Note: I like to put in the freezer and eat when it’s even more firm. Really feels like you’re eating ice cream!)
