I was out and about today (because it was sunny) and I thought I would look for that vegan/raw cafe called, Prasad that my friend works at. Located in the Pearl District, the little cafe shares a garage-looking space with a yoga studio called Yoga Pearl. Sort of bizarre but the layout makes sense for a cafe that is featured in an episode of Portlandia.
The menu is amazing to me; categories on the menu are: breakfast, drinks, soups and greens, bowls, wraps, fresh juice, health elixirs, and smoothies. I got the Soul Salad: spinach, chiplotle tempeh, black beans, toasted pepitas (yum), slow roasted tomatoes and avocado with red chili vinaigrette and garlic tahini for $8.50. It was very filling and delicious; tempeh is my new favorite power food. I felt so great after, I decided I would even walk the 1 mile home... then I started getting gassy.
Anyways, I got home and started obsessing about the cafe over the internet. I came across this funny Portlandia video- filmed in Prasad and making fun of it. So true. Unfortunately the fart patio is made up.
The Gaucho Wrap:
Chipotle marinated tempeh, slow roasted tomatoes, spinach, black beans, jalapeno cashew cheese, smash avocado and lime in a whole wheat tortilla $8 (Same as the soul salad I ate today except in a wrap with cashew cheese)
One of those women is the owner; Karen Pride
Found a recipe for a vegan dressing that Karen gave to another obsessive blogger who blogged about Prasad. I need a food processor so I can try to re-create it at home.That way, I'll be in my own privacy when I eat raw ;)
