Early vegans were faced with the challenge of lassoing an apple off a tree or coaxing a corncob into a bear trap. Hunt a healthy harvest the easy way with today's Groupon: for $6, you get $12 worth of raw, organic, vegan fare at The Sprout in Mount Pleasant.

The Sprout nourishes healthy minds and virile bodies with delicious vegan cuisine, smoothies, and juices all composed by way of fresh, organic ingredients that are sourced as locally as possible. Harvest a fresh feast from the café menu, ripe with raw, delectable dishes, such as the live granola, a sprouted medley of pumpkin seeds, almonds, and walnuts sweetened with dates, raisins, and agave nectar ($6.25), or the mock tuna, which tickles taste buds with sunflower seeds, cashews, dulse flakes, and an incredible impersonation of Don Knotts ($5.85). Protein-loving meat-abstainers can sink formerly carnivorous fangs into the Sprout burger, which comes with your choice of either a harvest patty (ginger-walnut-portobello) or a sun burger (sesame-tahini-corn-carrot), laid upon a sprouted Ezekiel bun with fresh veggies and slathered with veganaise or raw-cashew cheese ($9.25). Wash a garden-fresh meal down with a vitamin-rich smoothie, or cool the throat with a divine drink from the energy-boosting juice bar.

The Sprout's organic, vegan cuisine and beverages exude a healthy, fresh taste, and are part of an environmentally friendly lifestyle that helps to keep busy bodies fueled with an ample supply of vegetable blood. In addition to sustaining customers with its healthy eats, the café strives to make its everyday practices as sustainable as possible, using biodegradable packaging materials, furnishing its space with all eco-friendly materials, such as bamboo and no-voc paint, and minimizing as much waste as possible in the kitchen.
