Message From Heather: New Art Work by Ruth Gilmore Langs
You've probably noticed the beautiful new art pieces hanging throughout Vie. These colorful oil paintings come to us courtesy of Ruth Gilmore Langs, an Ann Arbor artist who has over ten paintings in the permanent collection at the U of M.
Ruth studied art in California, Colorado Washington D.C, and Hong Kong with notable teachers, and has since carved out her own unique space in the contemporary art scene. She projects a spontaneity and zest for life that comes out in her work.
These bold pieces burst with color and add a lot of energy to our atmosphere at Vie, and I'm proud to display them. All are for sale, so if interested contact me!
On another note, watch for wheatgrass shots coming up at our juice bar. Wheatgrass is packed full of nutrients that are of great benefit to your health, containing vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino-acids and large amounts of chlorophyll. Try one at our juice bar soon

Smoothie of the Month: Coconut Ginger

Try our new Coconut Ginger smoothie this month for 15% off the regular price.
Salad of the Month: Summer Orchard
We're making the most of fresh, seasonal fruit this summer to put together our Summer Orchard salad.
Look for fresh peaches, nectarines, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries (whatever looks the freshest each week) to top our mixed greens. The addition of a little white cheddar, toasted nuts, grilled chicken or tuna with a white balsamic vinaigrette rounds out the taste and adds protein.
We're keeping this salad right around 400 calories - perfect for a nutritious lunch or dinner.
Recipe of the Month: Frozen Hot Chocolate
It's an oxymoron, but unsweetened cocoa powder (which is high in antioxidants and low in calories) really does give this frozen drink the flavor of hot chocolate. Use this for a refreshing chocolate fix without going over the top in calories.
- 1/2 cup coffee or vanilla frozen yogurt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons malted milk powder (plain, not chocolate)
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/2 cup crushed ice
Pour everything into a blender and mix till smooth. Makes 1 serving.
