Green Tomato Grill; healthy, tasty, & affordable

Oh my goodness! I discovered Green Tomato Grill in 2016 and I fell head over heels with their Thai Peanut Shrimp Bowl. This bowl left me craving for more. The shrimp is accompanied by fresh veggies and white rice as seen in photo below (photo taken in 2016). And I absolutely LOVE savoring the tasty peanut sauce in this dish, wow.

I recently went back to Green Tomato Grill in both Orange and Brea locations, it had been a while, and was saddened to realize they had taken my favorite bowl off the menu.
They were courteous to provide me with a similar dish that is not displayed anywhere, which consists of chicken instead of shrimp, I think everything else is the same, and thankfully I’m still impressed.

All their sauces are either vegetable or Greek yogurt based and also made from scratch. They also serve many different special dietary needs including gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian and vegan entres.
And it’s kinda cute, they serve popcorn, too!

Health Nut; FRESH HEALTHY DELICIOUS FOOD & DRINKS

A80314DA-626E-483A-8032-6513E131B54E

I came across the words “Health Nut” as I was killing time around the Woodland Hills area, June 15th. It was a hot day, the heat was sorta affecting me, didn’t feel too well, wish I was in better spirits, and that I wasn’t as full already when I spotted this eatery. Had to stop by and check it out, however, because it seemed different.

As I was studying their menu I noticed they provide SALADS, SANDWICHES, MELTS & PANINIS, SMOOTHIES, and lovely DRINKS like Strawberry Mango Iced Greentini, Organic Herbal Tea, Low Carb Chai Tea (Hot or Iced), on & on.

I wasn’t hungry much but felt I needed to try something from their menu (eat some and take the rest to-go), and even though it was a hot day I decided to pick a hot soup, I love soup anytime anywhere!

I chose the Health Nut Pho. This soup consists of rice noodles, your choice of shredded chicken or tofu (I got tofu!), avocado, spinach, and pickled ginger served in warm vegetable broth. yum! Especially because I love AVO! and I ordered their Mango Iced Greentini because it states on menu that it’s their most popular drink. They were generous with their soup portion and slices of avocado; it was hearty, delicious, and super tasty! As far as the Mango Iced Greentini, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, I forgot to ask if they can make it unsweetened or light sweet, nonetheless it had good taste.

Later as I was doing research on this place and I discovered this is a favorite food spot for the Kardashians. They LOVE the Chef Salad and the Chinese Chicken Salad and Health Nut’s “yellow drinks”. Nice! Now I’m eager to try their salads!

This place is also known for their famous dressings, as stated on their website “Here at Health Nut, we pride ourselves in making everything in house, and that includes our famous dressings. We have a wide variety to choose from, and we are confident that one of these will suit your palate for any occasion.”

Health Nut claims FRESHNESS, and they focus on HEALTHY AND DELICIOUS FOOD AND DRINKS.

They state their “produce is delivered fresh daily to ensure the highest quality ingredients are used.”  This is a family owned business and has operated since 1988.

The plan is to head back to Health Nut next time I’m in the neighborhood with an empty stomach and a smile, feeling more upbeat, so I can try their salads Oh! and possibly bump into one of the Kardashians. lol
