We had the most amazing time tonight at the Capitola Whole Foods.  We went on an exciting excursion around the store to see what kind of marvelous raw foods we could encounter, and of course talk about their benefits and why they are so great!  At the end of the tour we made a delicious salad that had a variety of greens, fruits, and vegetables, all topped with the Rawesome ZUKAY salad dressings!  Also, Whole Foods was kind enough to give everyone samples of their Raw Vegan Cheese Cake, it was pretty good (Of course, not as good as Fritz’s ).  Thanks to everyone who came, and especially Whole Foods and Melissa for being so helpful.  We had mentioned Chia Seed Pudding and wanted to make sure that everyone can have the recipe, so here it is:
