Urban Herbivore

I've experimented with a few vegan options in the past week, and I have to say, it's surprisingly good. As one who is new to the vegan food scene, it's been a bit difficult to find really good options, aside from maybe the tofu at asian fast food takeout, or a salad. In a quest to live up to the Tony Horton/p90x standards (a workout routine) of whole grains and lean protein, I've been on the hunt for plant material.

At Urban Herbivore, I found a variety of sandwich and 'bowl' options,  my favorite being the BBQ Tofu sandwich. It's incredibly savory, so it doesn't taste "too healthy" (you know that grassy taste?), and you feel satisfied, and light after. I love sitting on their patio on a nice summer day shaded by trees in Kensington. It's also excellent for people watching.

Oh, and they offer freshly squeezed juices. Which is my new addiction to replace my old caffeine addiction. Just saying, it's pretty delicious.
