Lavaughn Daniel, 37, and her husband, Astlui, opened Sunlife Health Food four years ago with the plan to provide healthy food options to the surrounding community.
“Our community is dying of high blood pressure and diabetes. We are trying to educate them about nutrition,” she said.
Their menu is vegan and 90% organic. They prepare vegetarian patties for $3 and use soy-meat products as well. In the summer, the couple prepares fresh fruit and veggie smoothies. In the winter, they make juice combinations like okra punch, sorrell drinks, pumpkin juice and carrot juice with Irish moss, a red algae that grows primarily on the Atlantic coast of North America and Europe. A small juice costs $5.
Sunlife Health Food is open seven days a week. Read more..
