Arizona Trip: Whole Foods and True Food Kitchen

Every flavor of Coconut Milk Ice Cream

My last trip to Phoenix I decided to take a few pictures of a few places I visited. I love going to the States in search of new products and this time I made a trip to Whole Foods in Scottsdale. It is the best Whole Foods I have come across and I found a few things to bring back. The salad bar was incredible! I was lucky enough to be staying with a friend so I was able to prepare a few meals with some fantastic ingredients I came across. My favorite find was micro greens which I later used in an Ahi tuna salad. I picked up flavored stevia to bring back for the kids; rootbeer and peppermint. I can't wait to play around with that.

Whole Foods - Sprouted nuts, seeds, granola's

I really wish Calgary had a Whole Foods. Why don't we?

Whole Foods - best coffee ever

Whole Foods Salad Bar

While in Phoenix a friend of mine took me to True Food Kitchen for dinner. True Food Kitchen was founded by Dr. Weil and based around an anti-inflammatory diet. I wish there were more restaurants following the same principles as this one. Most of the ingredients are organic, fish is wild or sustainable, organic and bio-dynamic wine selection, plenty of vegetarian options, healthy oils, gluten free options and the red meat is bison. Heaven.

Dinner at True Food Kitchen

I had a very delicious grass fed bison burger which they did on a gluten free pita upon request, served with a side of raw kale salad. My friend had grilled steelhead salmon with quinoa pilaf. It was amazing and the wine was fantastic. I would highly recommend True Food Kitchen if you are visiting Scottsdale.
