The food
Made-to-order salads and bowls, to-stay or to-go. Customers can choose one of the pre-designed recipes or build their own meal out of the 80-plus ingredients available (grains, greens, veggies, fruit, nuts and seeds, chicken breast, marinated tofu, pickles, cheese) and house-made dressings.

Kombucha, cold-pressed juices and a few vegan and gluten-free smoothies, like The Hulk, made with apple, spinach, avocado, agave, lemon, coconut oil, mint, hemp and seeds.
The space
The 65-seat space inside Yorkville Village is open seven days a week. Local designer Candice Kaye is responsible for the flamingo and palm leaves wallpaper (a nod to CHG’s Planta nearby) that decorate the smoothie bar’s back wall.
