Chocolate Dream Smoothie Recipe with Unstress Me

When we first opened SpaJuiceBar, my focus was strictly on providing juices, smoothies, and a few acai bowls. The people I surrounded myself with had great ideas, and one lady in particular, Alicia, had a brilliant notion to create raw oatmeal. Alicia was very much into the plant-based lifestyle, and I found her to be truly fascinating because she knew what I did not know about plant-based food. My forte at the time of opening was juice. I am a juicer; I dream of juice, and my focus was only on juice in the beginning. So, Alicia created what turned out to be one of the most sought-after oatmeals. Our raw oatmeal was highly favored at SpaJuiceBar. Now, this oatmeal is not cooked strictly raw but full of flavor and fortifying nutrients. Since the closing of the juice bar on Las Olas, I have received many requests to share the recipe.

I made this salad a few days ago, refreshingly light and with just the right amount of zest for a perfect summer food pairing experience. This salad pairs beautifully with a cold glass of carrot orange juice or a honey dew melon juice infused with lemongrass, yum!! 

What makes this pairing delicious is the perfect balance of citrus flavors found in both the salad dressing and the juices. The juices facilitate a vibrancy enhancing the dining experience.  As the watermelon complements the peppery arugula with a perfectly balance of bright freshness to the spicy green, the cheese provides just the right amount of saltiness to quicken the satisfying burst of flavor provided by the watermelon.  Try the combination of juices with this salad for a perfect summer dining experience.  Recipe to try: Arugula Watermelon Salad, Food Network
