The New Year provides a clean slate for those who have fresh intentions. With common resolutions including working out and spending quality time with loved ones, we’re making things easier for you by mapping out a morning that includes both. Whether you’re working around a Saturday bike ride or a Sunday jog, here’s how to design a date while staying on the go.
Summer Moon Coffee
While heading down Southlake Boulevard to Keller may feel like a hike, the espresso drinks at Summer Moon Coffee prove to be worth the trip. The cozy coffeehouse uses a wood-fired brick roaster to prepare its beans, making for a cup unlike any other. Sweet tooths will love the Summermoon, an original latte served with its signature Moon Milke: a blend of seven secret ingredients. Traditionalists, on the other hand, can enjoy a cappuccino or nitro cold brew. Gluten-free foodies are sure to jump for joy over the array of pastry options available, like pound cake, cinnamon rolls, donuts and macarons. And hopefully with that caffeinated kick, you and your significant other will be ready to take on whatever activity you have planned. SummerMoonCoffee.com
Pure Cafe
After walking around Bicentennial Park or Lake Grapevine, keep the healthy choices going by stopping into Southlake Town Square’s Pure Cafe. The bright bistro is known for its fresh smoothies, sandwiches and salads, making for a light option for those who don’t want to feel weighed down by their food. Breakfast lovers can enjoy classics like avocado toast and oatmeal, while lunchers can revel in refreshing dishes like its acai bowl, made with acai juice, strawberry, blueberry and banana and topped with fresh fruit and granola. For proteinpacked selections, try the jalapeno chicken sandwich, a flatbread creation complete with green leaf lettuce, red onion, cheddar cheese and salsa. Winter flavors can be found in the cranberry pecan salad — organic mixed greens, cranberries, green apple, feta cheese and pecans finished with balsamic vinaigrette. Not only will you be filling up on nutritious options but also you will be supporting a Southlake-owned business. It’s a win-win all around. PureCafeSouthlake.com
Pressed Juicery
For a guilt-free treat that will satisfy your cravings without deterring you from your fitness goals, power walk down the street to Pressed Juicery. The cold-pressed juice shop is known for its vibrant beverages and quick cleanses, but it also carries vegan soft serve. Whether you top yours with fresh produce or crunchy candies, the Freeze base ensures customers can enjoy their share of fresh fruits and vegetables. Its classic flavors — chocolate, vanilla and strawberry — are easy to build off of, while its seasonal offerings give customers the option to go bold. PressedJuicery.com
