I’m visiting my sister in AZ soon. She isn't the healthiest eater, so I’m hoping to shop a bit so i don’t end up eating nothing but junk. And i was also hoping to be able to eat out, preferably somewhere with healthy options. So if anyone happens to have some recommendation on places to shop, and your favorite healthy places to eat that'd be awesome.

    Paradise Bakery has a nice variety of salads, soups, and sandwiches

    Rubios is a healthier option for fast food mexican food.

    Phoenix has most chains except steak n shake ... and Hardees.. they are called Carls Jr. out here.

    Paradise and Rubios are the only "healthy" places that stand out to me. You will find a variety of non chain places though that are good. Depends on where in the Valley you are staying though.

    If you can get south of PHX a bit there's a great vegan place called Green. And Pita Jungle has some healthier options as well.

    But I have to recommend truly splurging at least once and eating at Chompie's. Their Jewish sliders (and both other versions) are one of my favorite things to eat in the world. I dream about those things. The hubby and I are going back to AZ in October and I'm already trying to figure out how many times I can fit in eating at Chompie's. :D

    Try Pita Jungle. I work at one of their non Phoenix stores...and the food is great, if I do say so myself. Hint.....try the chipotle black bean burger....to die for!

    I prefer to shop at a Fry's when it comes to fresh fruit and veggies. As for a restaurant, I really don't know a good healthy option. I would recommend trying a Mimi's Cafe they do have a few different salad options and a wide menu selection that makes it easy to please everyone at the table.

    The Good Egg. They have calorie amounts on every single item on their menu. Also at the Biltmore is this place called True Food Kitchen, here's their website: http://www.truefoodkitchen.com/locations-menus/arizona/biltmore-fashion-park.php
