1. Vacation run through the city (or a Sappy wedding anniversary video?)

I made this during a run through the north side of Chicago. It’s sappy.

“Headed to Chicago for #LaborDayWeekend and wanted to make sure we start the morning right. Oatmeal bowls topped with ALL the goodies!”

“First morning back at home since Saturday. No groceries, no motivation, no energy. But as “extra” as smoothie bowls seem, they are actually really easy. Threw some frozen fruit & some almond milk in the blender & topped with pantry items I always have on hand. Fast, nutritious (and even kinda pretty) breakfast.”

4. The Big Vitamix Sale that Ends 9/9/18

Guys! The Vitamix back-to-school sale is winding down.

Yes, there will be more sales.

But this one is ideal if you want to buy a new machine.

Pretty much everything is on sale. There’s even one model that’s $120 off.

There are deals for USA, Canada, and UK.

I just typed them all out and picked the best ones.

Get yours now here!

5. Articles, links, and other goodness we’re appreciating

Being out of town reminded me of a classic video of ours about what to eat during special events.

First, the video: How to Eat Healthy at Weddings, Parties, and on Vacation

And here are a couple of the things we indulged in during our little trip to Chicago:

The Radical Reuben from the Chicago Diner. (Yep, 100% vegan.)

And a banana walnut brownie from West Town Bakery.

And finally, slices from Ian’s Pizza spin-off, Dimo’s. My vegan slices on top, her vegetarian slices on the bottom.

Thanks again,

Shalva and Lenny
Life is NOYOKE
