Thanks to Deirdre Imus’ New York Time’s bestselling book Growing Up Green, raising healthy kids in a natural and eco-minded way just became a little easier. In her book’s opening letter to parents, Imus says that “changes in our lifestyle, diet, and environment have taken a dramatic – and tragic – toll on our children’s health.” Covering kid’s health and wellness issues from infants to adolescents, the book offers valuable information and tips on how to raise healthier kids in a “green” eco-minded way.

Mambo Sprouts is mentioned as a resource for “tips on natural health, nutrition and the benefits of organic food” as well as a way to save on healthier choices at the supermarket.

The Mambo Sprouts Marketing Earth Day poll shows consumers will enjoy nature and outdoors and take personal action to be green in celebration of Earth Day. A recent Mambo Trackâ„¢ market research survey of natural and organic consumers conducted by Mambo Sprouts Marketing, showed that the majority of respondents (58%) indicated a plan to simply enjoy nature/outdoors in celebration of Earth Day. One in two (48%) planned to be more environmentally responsible and reduce their carbon footprint (reduce, reuse, recycle) to help the earth such as saving energy or bringing a reusable grocery bag. One in five (22%) planned to prepare a local, seasonal, organic meal for Earth Day. Only 1 in 5 or fewer had definite plans to take part in an organized earth day event or activity such as a festival or concert (17%), Earth Day awareness event (15%) or perform community service (13%).

The Earth Day poll was conducted between April 15 and April 17, 2008 and completed by over 1,000 online natural and organic consumers

Mambo Sprouts would like to thank all of the MamboTrack consumers who participated in this Earth Day poll! Happy Earth Day from your friends at Mambo Sprouts!

At Drazil’s Restaurant, the presentation for all of dishes was really pretty. Everything from the plates to the silverware to the garnishes! We started with the triple salsa which was beautiful. In addition to the chips it was served with, they also gave us sliced veggies (including red carrots which I had never seen before!)

For my main course, I ordered a cheeseburger. I can honestly say it was the best cheeseburger I ever had! Grass fed beef served on a sprouted roll with fresh fruit. My husband is a vegetarian and had the vegetable ratatouille. He also ordered a glass of watermelon juice from their juice bar. Even baby Spencer got in on the fun and had some avocado. (We pretty much only feed him organic food.)

Finally for dessert we had the ice cream sundae. It had all sorts of fresh fruit and fresh fruit sauces over it. I have no idea what the fruits were, but the plate was empty when we were done!

As for the décor, it doesn’t look like much from the outside. In fact the waitress mentioned that the restaurant used to be a gathering spot for bikers. Now, the juice bar is behind what used to be the regular bar. It is pretty funny. They have put some fun artwork on the walls, but overall the restaurant decor is fairly casual.
