Oh how I love you vitamin barn.
With your overpriced supplements and coconut water and your more reasonably priced wraps and smoothies (arguable take).
Two recommendations:
1. The veggie wrap (pictured below)
Quite possibly the best veggie wrap available for purchase in the United States at least.
Kale, shredded beets and carrots, sprouts, celery, cucumber, hummus, and a tomato
One half for now, one in the fridge for later
$12.99? #werecopping
2. The Lean Protein
California greens, matcha, a-milk, dates, a-butter, coconut oil, banana, protein
Now this is basically the same price as the veggie wrap. So there’s definitely an argument for it being less of a deal. But I’m addicted to paying over $10 for smoothies.
This smoothie fills you up, subtlety satisfies your sweet tooth, makes you healthy (California greens), and gives you protein and energy.
Don’t worry about the Thai Wrap or the hulk shake, just listen to me and you will be okay and happy.
Bonus Features:
They are so nice, 70% chance of meeting a dog in there, 100% chance of a creative director in white jeans/overalls
Just get there before (4?) because the juice/sandwich bar closes earlier than the store

Malai has really great flavors like Saffron, Masalsa Chai, Rose, Coffee Fenugreek, Orange Cardamom… always perfect. Cafe Panna is great for crazy twists on American classics (Sweet Corn!), and Leo’s does a really good Cantelope in the summer and Concord Grape in the fall. For straight up classic though I love Rays, just feels good there.
For vegan, only Orchard Grocer impressed me. I was really disappointed with Bananas except for the Ube/Thai Tea twist. Orchard can be too cashew-y sometimes, but when it’s good it’s good. They rotate flavors but they had a better Thai Tea, green mint Shamrock shake style, Blueberry, etc etc

1. Hearing Moanin & Screamin for the first time on the radio late one night otw to a sneaky link was just one of those moments…. One of those real mind blowing moments. This song was a vibe that I had been looking for for a long time.
Linked in post (I promise one day I’ll be better at link management I’m still figuring it out
2. And This one, Look Way Back, also by diamond joe, may even be better:

Not much is known about Joe Maryland (diamond joe). Like this is literally the only picture I have even been able to find of him. I couldn’t even find when he was born or died. New Orleans guy, just like me!
he has Less than 1,500 monthly listeners on Spotify. It’s just incredible when talents like this, real real talents, people truly connected with their soul and able to express it honestly, go mostly without recognition. But A tale as old as time I guess
RIP him ❤️
