Heyo, lovely Real Life RD readers!
I’m Alexis, the donut-loving dietitian behind Hummusapien and Alchemy Juice Bar + Cafe. Robyn and I became internet friends before chia seeds were cool and fell even more madly in love when we met in person last year. We’re basically twins.
I help people discover the art of eating happy and living fully. I talk a lot about avocados and salted dark chocolate and not getting mad at unicorn frappuccinos for being unicorn frappuccinos.
Every Wednesday I share a day of delish eats, so I went back through the archives to share this baby with you while Robyn is in another country eating fresh feta and drinking all the coffee. Hope you enjoy!
Currently, life is kind of all over the place. Kind of as in totally.
But that hasn’t stopped me from smoothie slurping! This blend was a bunch of frozen wild blueberries, a handful of frozen dark sweet cherries, frozen spinach, chocolate Vega, a Medjool date, spirulina, almond butter, hemp seeds, a splash of vanilla extract, cinnamon, and almond milk to blend. I drank it out of a cup from my bestie’s bachelorette party a few weekends back which obviously made it taste even more delish.
And coffee. Always.
I was craving salty pretty much immediately after so I had a brown rice cake with Oasis roasted garlic hummus and sriracha. So dreamy!
Lunch was leftover Quinoa Fried Rice (the boyf makes it now!) with edamame and roasted cashews added plus a random but very tasty sourdough biscuit that someone at work made paired with the local strawberry rhubarb jam, of course.
Snacks included a Chocolate Zucchini Muffin heated in the oven so the chocolate chips were melty plus several bites of a new watermelon dragonfruit bowl at Alchemy…
Plus several bites of new blueberry muffin no-bake bites. Recipe testing galore!
Dinner was The Best Vegan Lasagna with roasted broccoli, hummus, and tomato with balsamic, salt, and pepper (a local goodie that was about to go bad).
I made the lasagna with zucchini rather than pasta (mistake) because I had like five in the fridge. It was a lot more soupy and though it was still tasty, I will definitely use pasta the next time.
After dinner I scarfed down leftover Strawberries and Cream Chia Pudding with cacao nibs and strawbs for dessert. It was consumed in 2.8 seconds.
I couldn’t resist a few squares of dark chocolate as we packed and unpacked and packed more and unpacked more. Fun stuff!

Love this so much!! I am dying to try the vegan lasagna 🙂 and I wish I lived close to Alchemy every single day! I keep begging my dad everyday to take me on a business trip with him to Columbus, so it is going to happen one day. I need to meet you and try all your yummies 🙂
