Like No Udder
The owners of the world’s first
all-vegan soft-serve ice cream
truck opened the area’s only
all-vegan ice cream shop. Like No
Udder still takes the truck around,
but ice cream devotees can get a
steady fix of the good stuff at the
stationary shop. The storefront not
only sells Like No Udder’s famous
soy-based soft-serve, but it also
boasts more than a dozen flavors
of hard-packed ice cream, free of
all animal products, including
dairy, eggs, animal fats and honey.
They’re scooping more than just
plain vanilla; we love the Thai iced
tea and coconut mango. 170 Ives

BY JULIE TREMAINE
he first time I cleansed, I did
every single thing wrong. The advice was to
gradually slow down on sugar, alcohol and unhealthy
food so that the physical reset would be easier. Instead,
I had “farewell drinks.”
This time, I prepared myself for a three-day juice
cleanse from Fully Rooted by slowing down on sugar
and alcohol before beginning. A juice cleanse isn’t a
crash diet: it’s an intentional three-day break from
digestion to give your guts a chance to rest and heal
and to clean out all of the toxins in your system in
the process.
DAY 1
8:30 a.m. There are six bottles to drink per day, plus
a Breath of Fire shot of cayenne, lemon and ginger
and an additional wheatgrass shot. I have the wheat-
grass, which you’re supposed to do first thing in the
morning for maximum absorption, and then the Works,
with carrot, apple, kale, lemon and ginger.
11 a.m. It’s time for my second juice, but I’m busy
so I don’t get it right away. I become irrationally angry
after reading a few tweets, and realize I might be hav-
ing some hanger issues. Right. To the fridge it is. I crack
open a Green Lemonade with cucumber, apple, spinach,
celery and lemon, and all is right with the world again.
Noon Why is everyone posting about food today?
12:01 p.m. That sandwich from the Burgundian
looks amazing. And I don’t even really like waffles.
3 p.m. I pretty much feel fine. Because I’ve followed
the preparation advice, there’s no sugar crash this
time. There have definitely been moments when I
wanted to grab food, not because I felt hungry but
because it’s habitual.
5 p.m. As the sun sets on this frigid winter night, I
feel very cold and sad to not get to eat dinner. Instead,
I have a Get Your Glow, with beet, apple and carrot.
6:30 p.m. I cave and have a cup of hot vegetable
broth, which is what I’m allowed if I feel like I really
need something besides juice. It feels weirdly heavy
even though it’s essentially nothing.
