“Take good care of your body! The more you nourish it, the greater the chances for a long and healthy life”.

That’s Great Earth’s philosophy.  I’m a big fan of Great Earth and I use lots of their super foods in my smoothies. I like that they have a long history and that they are a couple of hard working and driven guys behind it. Lately I’ve been baking away with their wonderful coconut oil and delicious cacao butter. By the way… cacao butter is absolutely fantastic to make homemade chocolate with. I tried it last week and I’m sold. It’s so easy and I love eating chocolate that is made with raw organic ingredients.

Great Earth has been around for 25 years and was founded by Bernie Bubman; and, he also the man behind the health concept Earthbar… a juicebar in West Hollywood and Equinox. Thankfully, Great Earth has found it’s way to Sweden and is currently one of Sweden’s leading health food providers. Here is Mr. Bubman outside Earthbar (who serves the largest acai bowls in town)

Health Food visionaries: Mattias from Great Earth Scandinavia and Bernie. Hello!

 You should pop into their concept store on Birger Jarlsgatan 18 in Stockholm for a hot chocolate almond milk…so nice on chilly days. It’s delicious AND nutritious – these do go hand in hand, you know. 🙂

Katrin is in town. In Venice actually and we met up for a breakfast early this morning at Cafe Gratitude on Rose Ave.  I had the cravings for “I’m Fantastic”, the cashew crêpe with fresh fruit, coconut yogurt, maple syrup and pecans. Maybe it’s more like a dessert but since the ingredients are all from nature, I was thinking it would work as a Halloween breakfast as well 🙂

That folded peace of treat is one of the most delicious things on the breakfast menu. You have got to try it next time you’re in town. And then I tried their warm “Turmeric latte” with turmeric juice, honey and steamed almond milk. But I skipped the honey. So good and nourishing.

There is only empty left, like always when eating at this place. It’s not only raw food. They offer plenty of warming vegan dishes, all really tasty.

I’v got 2 words for this place: Delicious and stylish. L.A Juice serves cold pressed, 100% organic juices, smoothies and mylks  and the guy behind it is a total pro.  Make sure you pop in here when you go juicebarhopping next time.  Strawberry, coconut and coconut water. Tastes like a dream.

Dolce Hollywood Cocktail.: Almond milk with cardamom and rose… heavenly!

Everything is made right there in the back. No traveltime at all for these blends. We like that!

You will find them on Melrose Ave.
