Dutch Chocolate Milkshake at Saturn Cafe If you’re looking for a good vegetarian diner, Berkeley and Santa Cruz would seem like good places to start. And you’d luck out, for in both of these veg-friendly college towns you’ll find a Saturn Cafe, purveyor of delicious, down-home diner fare for the meat averse. Like any diner worth its salt, Saturn makes some pretty excellent milkshakes. We’re big fans of the Dutch chocolate ($5.25), a thick, scoopable shake topped with a healthy dollop of freshly whipped cream. The Dutch chocolate flavor is excellent—not too sweet, and with the faintest suggestion of mint—and a sprinkling of chocolate chips add a nice texture to every bite. I’ve always been a fan of their vegan Ollaberry shake but this looks pretty bomber! Glad a vegan option made it on this list of best milkshakes in the bay Saturn Cafe 2175 Allson Way, Berkeley CA 94704 (map) 510-845-8505;saturncafe.com Saturn Cafe145 Laurel StSanta Cruz, CA 95060(831) 429 - 8505

Yet another reason to move to Kauai.

Grab some abundant end-of-summer tomatoes and fresh basil and try these savory, slightly spicy vegan muffins. Made with whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, plus fresh herbs and vegetables, these are packed with fiber, vitamins and Omega-3s (making them so much more than your average desert or breakfast muffin). Try serving these with dinner alongside soup and salad, or bringing to work for an afternoon snack.

Tomato Basil Muffins

Ingredients:

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup purred cherry tomatoes
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup onion
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp ground flax seed simmered in 6 tbsp water (this makes an egg-like substance)
1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In large bowl, combine basil, flour, onion, brown sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

Using food processor or blender, puree tomatoes.

Simmer 2 tbsp ground flax seed in 1/4 cup water water. When it thickens, whisk together with almond milk, olive oil and tomato puree.

Combine all wet and dry ingredients.

Line muffin pan with paper liners or vegetable-oil spray to keep batter from sticking. Fill cups to the top, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until fork or toothpick inserted into center of muffins comes out clean.
