Nourished on the Go.

Remember my post about convenience food? In that post I discussed Rawlicious and how it offered healthy clean eating when I didn't feel like cooking.

Well. There was a fire.

Don't worry!!! The Rawlicious is intact! However, the building directly beside it is not. It was gutted. The Rawlicious and adjacent buildings actually share walls, everything is connected. Also, they are all historical buildings. So until things are repaired/torn down, I have no take out.

Enter Groupon!

A friend posted a Groupon on her Facebook Page for Nourished on the Go . It advertises as "healthy vegan fast food restaurant". I was intrigued. I looked at the menu online and saw many things I wished to try. So I bought the Groupon and checked it out.

It's not a place where you're likely to sit down for a meal, it's simply not big enough. But because it wasn't too busy when I went, I got to chat with the chef while she was working. In particular, I was curious about the artwork on the walls, all of which is for sale. Very reasonable prices too! Yes, she knew the artists. Yes, they were all local artists. One of them very fond of painting carrots. She showed me some more carrot paintings. I want one for my walls. Also featured was peppers, and a giant beet. The painting was called "Queen Beet".

I also learned there was a vegetarian association in my area! I had thought the only chapter was in Toronto. Exciting day!

I got the Thai coconut green curry soup, a Cesar salad, and the strawberry cheesecake. Everything. Was. Delicious. I liked the salad best. The dressing was creamy and garlicky and zippy, just as a Cesar dressing should be. She added fake bacon strips to the top. They were nice and smokey. The cheesecake was cashew-based and the strawberry topping was very refreshing.

My only complaint about the soup was that it was thin. That's not to say that it wasn't filling. It had loads of broccoli, leeks onions, carrots, and some chilies for a kick. I mean the broth was thin. I prefer soups to be a little thicker. Maybe next time I will get a stew. Nevertheless, I was very pleased with my meal.

Nourished on the go insures that ALL of it's take away containers are compostable or recyclable. Even their cutlery can be placed in the compost. This is HUGE for me. To see a restaurant take it's responsibility to the environment so seriously, makes me very happy.

With my Groupon, I paid $12 for my dinner. the normal price would have been closer to $21. For a soup salad and dessert? I consider that a fair price. Certainly it's on par with Rawlicious.

I will be back!
