Dinosaurs Watermelon and Lychee Shake: Dinosaurs is a small Vietnamese sandwich shop bordering the Castro in San Francisco. It has reasonably priced, tasty sandwiches (I especially recommend the meatball bahn mi) as well as fresh juices. I love watermelon, and I also love lychee, so their watermelon and lychee shake was an obvious choice for me. Rather than being flavored like lychee, the lychee comes in the form of chewy and slightly crunchy lychee jelly - the same rectangular kind you find in boba tea shops. The watermelon ...

365 Ranch Lentil Chips: While ranch snacks tend to be unhealthy, these 365 lentil crisps have the same satisfyingly tangy flavor with less fat and calories. The crisps are more like sticks, falling somewhere in the middle of the pretzel -> puffed snack spectrum. They have a light crunch and are dense enough to be filling. Would definitely purchase again. 3.5/5.0

Siggi's Blueberry filmjolk drinkable yogurt: One of the characteristics I appreciate the most about Siggi's yogurt is that they're barely sweet. Their drinkable yogurt has significantly more sugar than their yogurt, though, at 17g per serving, roughly equalling that of other brands. I personally would prefer less sweet, but this is still a quality product: balanced consistency that's neither too thick nor too thin and sharp berry flavor. 3.5/5.0

Sweetgreens Iced Chai: Up to this point, I had been resistant to the ~$15 salads at Sweetgreens, but after returning to Berkeley after traveling, I often crave fresh fruit and vegetables. I caved in and stopped by Sweetgreens for a salad (which was actually filling and quite tasty) and purchased a cup of iced chai to accompany my greens. I really enjoyed this calorie and sugar-free option, with its warming blend of fragrant spices like cinnamon, cardamon, and cloves. A surprisingly concentrated flavor. Very re... (read more) 3.5/5.0
