Boise, ID

Boise Co-op- Boise has no shortage of healthy options but my favorite spot is the downtown Co-op. The organic juice/smoothie bar is great and I highly recommend stop at the salad bar and the bulk section. The produce is fresh, reasonably priced and I believe is 100% organic!

Right next to the Co-op is 208 Pho and Vegan. I had the vegan pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) for dinner and it was great after a long day of travel plus morning/evening workouts. The menu is simple and there aren't a ton of vegan options (or options period!) but that is cool as the vegan pho was just what I needed. The price was right as well. Good idea to hit up this spot and then head over to the Co-op for some some supplies for the road!
