mmmm…wild salmon rice bowl

I don’t go out often for lunch. Mainly because I feel guilty for goofing off so long during the non-lunch hour, that I get a bit done during the actual lunch hour. Thus, I have resorted to running downstairs, picking up a quick meal and bringing it back to my desk. There are quite a few places around me that are good for this strategy, but not many of them are worthy of a recommendation. You know, dime a dozen places like Subway or Taco del Mar.

However, there is a semi-secret little lunch place that has got to be one of the best quick lunch spots in the city. Top 5 for sure. What’s the name, you ask? Juice It!

It’s probably its weird location, adjacent to the Gold’s Gym in the Convention Center, that allows it to only be moderately busy - while the rest of the center’s lunch places are crazy busy with convention goers and tourists. It’s also its location - next to that gym - that mandates its healthiness. You can get fresh salads, rice bowls, smoothies, and fresh juices. They have a pallet of wheatgrass in the display daily and specials incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s also not that very expensive.

Personally, I can not waiver from the Wild Salmon rice bowl ($6.95 and pictured) that contains a foundation of brown rice, a bottom layer of salmon (of course), and salad veggies on top, all lightly dressed with a vinaigrette-y sauce. It is pretty delicious although some of the other options get a rave from people who aren’t as compulsive as I am. It is also fairly nutritious and the people who work there are always very nice.

Juice It!
