The new year is here and even though families might be dining in more, there’s always that exciting day out where you and your little ones might crave a yummy bite on the go. But hey, it doesn’t always have to be the quick and greasy fast-food lane! There are loads of joyful and healthy dining adventures waiting for your family.

In the heart of Phoenix, this hip café is cooking up some seriously cool healthy treats. Check out their No Shame superfood bowl – a mix of blackened Norwegian salmon or chicken, with sushi rice, avacado, black olives, black beans, salsa, lime crema, and pumpkin seeds. And for a sip of fun, try the rosemary hussey mocktail or the berry-licious smashed blueberry mocktail. For more information, visit 32shea.com.
