When you’re trying your best to eat healthy, some days you just need an ace-in-the-hole; a place you can go where you know that every single thing on the menu will be a good decision. For me that place is Lifefood Organic on Cahuenga and Sunset. Nestled in a bustling neighborhood that is fast becoming one of my favorite in Hollywood, Lifefood Organic is a health market, a restaurant, and a spa all rolled into one. Stop in to get lunch, stock up on supplements and raw snacks, get your B12 shot, and continue on with your day – it’s no joke. I only ever come here for the food (big surprise), but if I had lots of money to spend I could totally see myself trying all their natural snacks and supplements.
What I love about their menu is that literally everything is vegan, gluten-free, and raw. So if I’m in need of a sandwich fix, but I’m not in a place where I can go all out for a traditional sub, or if I just need to eat some food that I know will make me feel fantastic, this is where I go. Pictured here is my go-to, their falafel wrap, which again is entirely vegan and gluten free and comes with some sort of heavenly green dipping sauce (no idea what it is, all I know is that it’s delicious and I eat all of it). I have also had their pad thai – my friend Brett swears by it. You get all the textures and flavors you expect from Pad thai without ever missing the meat or egg. It’s like vegan magic. They also are a full juice and smoothie bar and even serve vegan ice cream – mmm!
Now I can’t lie, with food this good and this natural, you know it isn’t going to be cheap. This wrap is $13 – worth it both for the flavor and the mental satisfaction, but it is by no means starving artist friendly. And I actually went home after this and ate a salad – lol! Still, it’s a fantastic treat when you’re in the mood to eat out but not in the mood for temptation, conflict, or self-loathing. If clean eating is your thing, then you won’t be disappointed by Lifefood Organic.
