“Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and rigid,” says Nicole Obermire of Peace, Love & Raw. Inspired by her children to eat well, Nicole has created a menu that sings ballads to healthy eating, a harmony of delightful treats that are completely raw, vegan, and organic.

Olympia Food Co-op carries Peace, Love & Raw packaged delicacies, such as Forbidden Rice and Red Lentil Chili, always bursting with savory goodness, and free of gluten, corn, soy and common allergens. Both Co-op locations also carry their raw healthful versions of traditional confections. Nicole’s Macaroons, Cinnamon Rolls, Strawberry Parfaits, German Cacao Cake, and avocado-based Key Lime Pies are in high demand. Her raw vegan “Cheezecakes” are rapturous creations. The tantalizing flavors, such as Strawberry and Cream, Chocolate Orange, Salted Caramel, White Chocolate Rose, and Mint Chocolate Chip, change weekly. Nicole’s three layer “Rawnaimo” dessert bars are built upon a sprouted almond and coconut crust, filled with a creamy almond butter middle, and covered with a raw cacao top.

If you wish to experience the full menu, drop in to their store locations for a juice, smoothie, salad or sandwich. Peace, Love & Raw Cafe, downtown on Legion Avenue, is convenient during Capital City Pride, or you can visit their Capital Mall location. By all means, treat yourself!
