Celebrate Veganuary Every Day at Glow Raw Food Cafe

Glow Juicery, Smoothie and Organic cafe is the Cowichan Valley’s only 100% organic vegan cafe. The small juicery shaped quickly into a restaurant as the desire for a modern spot to eat and gather grew. Brandy and her fabulous healthy menu offering raw and hot vegan dishes and it doesn’t stop there - everything is 100% organic, gluten free, plant based with no toxic refined sweeteners or preservatives including all the delicious treats and desserts on display.

“When designing our menu we kept in mind that people enjoy comfort foods so we started out with Bagels, Quesadillas, Chili, Pizzas, vegan “Butter Chicken and Pad Thai. Now in addition to those favourites we also offer: Charred Broccoli and Brussel sprouts, Burrito Bowl, Kelp Noodle salad and a variety of soups.

Healthy living has been a part of my life for over 20 years. After working at PepsiCo, and gaining almost 40 lbs and feeling tired all the time in my early 20’s I knew something had to change. I started researching healing foods and exercise plans and within 6 month of implementing what I learned I lost all the weight I had gained, even while still working at the same place. I continued a healthy lifestyle

throughout my life but it wasn’t until my son was born and I literally didn’t sleep for a year, my organ function began to decline drastically. I knew I needed more than just sleep at this stage for my body to begin it’s healing process. I researched plant medicine and healing with the right foods. I turned to an all organic plant based diet and in just a month my energy levels started increasing again. I used herbs such as ashwagandha for my adrenal glands, milk thistle, He Shou Wu for organ support and Schizandra, citrus peels and lacuma for my kidneys. During this healing journey I knew I wanted to help other people who have been in a health situation like myself and this is what led to the start of Glow. I love these herbs so much that we use them at Glow in our food and treats and they can be added to any smoothie for an extra boost.

Seasonal dishes. Yam and Beet Salad, Mixed greens, yams, beets, candied pumpkin seeds, coconut bacon and a sweet and smokey maple dressing. Coconut Lime Stir Fry: Another Hot dish with vegetables in a coconut lime sauce over rice. Triple Mushroom Rotini: Thyme mushrooms sauce with spinach, marinated mushrooms and onions over chickpea rotini. Seasonal Juices: Harvest Glow Juice: carrots, cranberries, oranges, ginger, apple, turmeric, Elderberry Ginger lemonade: Elderberries from local farm Elder farms, ginger, lemons, water and maple syrup.

A favourite vegan three course meal at Glow begins with our Thai Carrot soup - An anti inflammatory and warming soup, perfect for the colder winter months. Filled with carrots, turmeric, lemongrass and Ginger. Vegans will love our tasty version of “Butter Chicken”- Curry spices help warm the body. This hot dish is topped with top quality black lava salt from Alchemy Taste, which not only adds amazing flavour but also helps the body with digestion and absorption. Finish off with Dessert Raw Rose Cardamom bar -These bars are filled with antioxidant rich raw Cacao, cardamom and rose flowers. Both Cacao and cardamom have anti inflammatory properties, increase your energy and are warming. Something many people need during these cold months.
