Stay Nourished

“For the incredible depth and breadth of Austin’s culinary options, there’s been one glaring omission from the scene: raw foods. That’s finally changed with the arrival of Conscious Kitchen ATX, a new wholesome oasis in Bee Cave. Opened just three weeks ago, it’s already redefining what it means to eat well and be well.

Nuts and seeds form the incredibly hearty foundation for most meals, like the pizza slathered with pesto and sun-dried tomato sauce, veggie burgers that use two patties instead of buns, and hefty breads that could double as savory granola bars. I was treated to a sampler platter because I always need a little taste of everything.

Try to save room for dessert though, because these creamy creations are something else. My favorite was the coffee cake, which actually relies on chicory root to impart a caffeine-free latte-like flavor.

Conscious Kitchen ATX isn’t just filling a gap in the local food scene, it’s rewriting the script on what healthy eating taste like. The proof is on the plate that raw food can be decadent and crave-worthy, too.”
