    Eating Green for Earth Day

    Earth Day Texas dials up allure with celebrities and fine dining

    The 2016 Earth Day Texas, aka EDTx, is offering two new features sure to lure in the crowds: food and celebrities.

    For the first time, EDTx will serve beer and food from what it calls sustainability-minded restaurants and breweries through its partnership with the Untapped Beer Festival and Savor Dallas.

    The restaurant lineup runs from obvious "green" places like Kalachandji's, the vegetarian restaurant at the Hare Krishna temple, to more culinary-focused options such as Stock & Barrel and The Porch.

    Participants include Bbbop, Café Momentum, Common Table, Crisp Salad, Down to Earth, Front Room Tavern, Garden Café, Chef Jennie Kelley, LYFE Kitchen, Nature’s Plate, Patina Green, Chef Patton Robertson, Pink Magnolia, The Porch, Salum, Small Brewpub, START: Real Food Fast, Tacodeli, and Unleavened.

    The Untapped Sustainable Beer Garden will feature breweries that ostensibly champion environmentally responsible practices, including Alaskan Brewing, Deschutes, Franconia, Full Sail, Harpoon, Odell, Real Ale, SanTan, Sierra Nevada, and Uinta.

    Food and drink will be sold via a sample card system. A $5 fee gets you six samples, either of food bites or 2 ounces of beer. Full pours and additional sampling cards will be available for purchase in the Beer Garden.

    Vendors serving samples and snacks include Gardein; NadaMoo; Ben & Jerry's; Buda Juice; Samson’s Gourmet Hot Dogs; D-Lish; and Little Herds, a nonprofit that promotes edible insects.

    If all that food isn't enough, there will also be celebrities, coming in for the first-ever "Celebrities for Change" Gala on April 22 to raise awareness and drive solutions for the future of our environment.

    The lineup of environmentally minded celebrities includes Lance Bass, Malin Akerman, Ed Begley Jr., Frances Fisher, Amber Valletta, Wendie Malick, Amy Smart and Carter Oosterhouse. There'll be a "green carpet" walk — green because it's Earth Day, duh — and reception at 6:30 pm, followed by the dinner and program at 8 pm. There's a full list of luminaries here.

    EDTx 2016 runs from April 22-26 at Fair Park and is free. A preliminary kick-off party organized by the new Earth Day Texas Young Professionals group will take place on April 14 at the Dallas Farmers Market, followed by an after-party at Eastwood's Bar. If the YPs are on board, then you know it's a winner.

    Healthy dual restaurant serving smoothies and froyo to open in Prosper

    Smoothies and frozen yogurt are coming to Prosper with two restaurants in one: Smoothie Factory + Kitchen and co-branded Red Mango will open at 1470 W. Frontier Pkwy. #102, on May 17.

    On the Smoothie Kitchen side, they'll serve smoothies, juices, fruit power bowls, toasts, and grilled sandwich folds.

    On the Red Mango side, they'll serve frozen yogurt with a self-serve model featuring four flavors, two additional swirl combinations, and 13 toppings.

    Smoothie Factory was founded in the 1980s; Red Mango was founded in Dallas in 2007 had has 60 locations in the U.S. and internationally. The concepts are siblings — both part of the franchise portfolio of Dallas-based franchising company Brix Holdings, LLC.

    Bringing the concept to Prosper are franchisees Lanford and Chianna Rodgers. Lanford is a former Illinois state trooper and independent insurance business owner, and Chiana is a financial advisor.

    Together, they’re looking to offer a healthy and welcoming experience to a growing city.

    “My professional career has changed over the years, but the one thing that unifies my experience is my purpose to help, support and build a community with new people,” says Chianna. “As I begin my journey as a small business owner and we open our doors to the Prosper community, I’m dedicated to leading a team that feels supported and is passionate about serving high-quality products and creating an unforgettable customer experience.”

    Customers who show up on opening day can expect promotions, giveaways, prizes, and activities.

    ”The opening of the new Smoothie Factory + Kitchen and Red Mango location is one of many of our continuous efforts to provide better-for-you options to our guests by increasing access to healthy and delicious options in our communities,” says BRIX Holdings CEO Sherif Mityas in a statement. “Lanford is a passionate and dedicated owner with a team ready to make a positive impact and change the lives of their guests with fresh food, quality service, and a seamless customer experience. I’m confident that this location will be a Prosper neighborhood staple.”
