Say Hello To Alkaline Junkie, Atlanta's First Mobile Wellness Cafe

Every foodie can spot a good food truck when they see one, but it can be a bit harder to spot a healthy food truck. Enter: Alkaline Junkie, Atlanta’s only mobile wellness cafe — and it wants to cure what ails you. It makes stops all over the map, so you’ll be sure to find the portable health machine in every Atlanta neighborhood from Grant Park to Decatur. TIME TO CONVERT Want to know which street all those colorful smoothie bowls are cruisin’ down? Check out their Instagram page. Every day they let us “junkies” know exactly which neighborhoods they’ll be heading to, so you never have to miss the deliciousness. For owner and founder LeAnna Wilson, it’s about more than just food. Her goal is to continually educate and nourish the local community. She’s on a mission to take the mobile food world by storm, and she’s not stopping ‘til the wheels come off! Wilson wants to convert all the junk food-lovers out there into “Alkaline Junkies” — and she knows what she’s doing. With plant-based recipes rooted in Ayurvedic medicine, Alkaline Junkie serves up handcrafted lattes, bowls, smoothies, and even toast, all meant to balance energy, support immunity, and increase well-being. With ingredients such as dragon fruit, hemp seeds, chia seeds, coconut, and a host of medicinal mushrooms, the all-natural menu items will send your taste buds on quite the trip. WHAT YOU NEED You know they’ve got it. Here’s the thing: everyone is unique. Alkaline Junkie knows that, which is why the AJ team will tailor a recipe just for you! Yup, you heard us right. It obviously couldn’t get any better. Except, it does. Don’t have time to hunt down the truck but need that healthy fix? Your new favorite food truck will deliver directly to you. All you have to do is head to their website to book a boost. Easy as pie… or in this case, avocado toast. Trust us when we tell you that this is no ordinary food truck (and thank us once you try it). Simply put, we’ve been converted.
