Chef Rawsheed's Sun Power Natural Cafe

Chef Rawsheed makes some very awesome raw chocolate cookies (consisting of little more than raw nuts, raw chocolate powder and agave syrup) which you can get at Whole Foods if you're lucky because they tend to be out. So I felt compelled to trek across the mountains and check out his cafe in Studio City, stock up on some healthy cookies and try some of his main dishes.

Here's the fabulous smoothie I got while waiting for our to-go order: a sweet kale smoothie, with kale, bananas, almonds, agave nectar and almond extract. This raises the art of smoothie making to a whole different level. Very impressive.
And here's the raw pesto pizza - crunchy sunflower seed crust with creamy pesto, cashew cheese, green onions, tomatoes and marinated olives. And that's a side of the kale salad with pine nuts on top.
And finally the raw Mexican torta - spicy raw veggie sausage, pico de gallo, avocado, pickled cabbage, raw basil ranch dressing and a side of greens w/ raw ginger-orange dressing
all very yummy and super-filling, in a healthy, nutty kind of way. I did stock up on the cookies, too, but I'm embarrassed to admit that they have already been demolished, and no picture was taken... :(
