Tried a new vegan spot in Chicago 👀🌱 The Green Ap Tried a new vegan spot in Chicago 👀🌱

The Green Ape is currently in soft launch before opening officially on May 3rd, and we stopped by to check it out. 
@the.greenape 

What we tried:
– Lasagna roll up (definitely worth getting)
– “Mane” attraction sandwich 🦁🍄
– Fried chick’n sandwich
– Baked vanilla donuts with lemon zest 🍋

Everything was really solid, but the lasagna roll up and donuts stood out the most for me.

If you’re nearby, it’s a nice one to check out before the official opening.

I found VEGAN hard boiled eggs at Whole Foods and I found VEGAN hard boiled eggs at Whole Foods and I had to try them! 

The ingredients are surprisingly clean, and they’re actually so good on ramen.

They are made by @mycraftycounter and they’re honestly so so good! Just sprinkle some black salt (Kala namak) on them for the eggy flavor.
