Chicago has finally gotten in on the fro-yo craze sweeping the country. Contrary to the city’s other culinary notables, the frozen yogurt at Berry Chill Yogurt Couture is both delicious and healthy. Located in River North, this late-night yogurt spot features 100% fat free yogurt without artificial flavorings, instead offering live active cultures and a slew of delectable toppings. Chicagoans will notice some of their local favorites as Berry Chill offers fresh Milk & Honey granola, Sarah’s Pastries & Candies chocolate, PIE pie filling and the classic Leonard’s Bakery smiley face cookie as options. For the more health-conscious, the tangy original yogurt is available daily and they also have rotating flavors such as Pink Guava and Pina Colada.

Freshii
311 S. Wacker Chicago, IL 60606
(312) 435-0311
When hunger hits, most people grab the closest thing in sight, usually a stale bag of chips or a rogue candy bar from last Halloween. For those of us who would rather forego the candy – and the guilt – Freshii has arrived to save the day. Like creating the perfect outfit, the menu at Freshii consists of head to toe choices and deems them either “24/7” (super healthy), “balanced” (good fats and proteins) or “splurge” (so tasty it’s only allowed in moderation). Each choice, ranging from breakfast to dinner fare, lists exact calories and nutritional information to help move customers through the meal designing process. Hours of Operation: Mon-Fri 7am-5:30pm.
Epic Burger
517 S State St. Chicago, IL 60605
(312) 913-1373
The Epic Burger menu features 100% all natural, never frozen, hand-packed beef and turkey burgers, all-natural chicken breasts and portabella mushroom burgers all cooked fresh to order and topped with hand-crafted Wisconsin cheeses. Epic Burger buns are baked fresh daily and have no preservatives or artificial ingredients. Fries are made with fresh, hand cut potatoes cooked with zero trans fats and seasoned with pure sea salt.

Earwax Café
1561 N. Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, IL 60622

Vegetarians, vegans, tree-huggers and health conscious Sneaky Sunday readers love them some Earwax! Granted the name doesn’t scream “healthy, delicious culinary options,” but Earwax definitely has a tasty take on health food. We recommend the *Seitan Reuben (*flavored wheat gluten) or if you’re just rolling out of bed, the “eggs” Benedict made with tofu.
