Where are your favorite healthy hangouts?

Options
I know every town is a little different, but almost every town has some sort of healthy store, whether it be a grocery store, a restaurant, or a juice bar!
Below, post your city, and where you like to get your healthy on (:

Personally, I live in Virginia Beach.
We typically do not have very many "healthy" eating places.
BUT we do have a few, including Trader Joes, and Whole Foods.
My all time favorite is this juice bar called Fruitive.
They have juices that are both freshly made there, and organic cold pressed.
They also have yummy salad bowls, wraps, and fruit bowls. (the PB and NO J is my fave!)
Fruitive.com, in case theres any virginians here (:

    lol … UM I've never been to a place where it's "healthy" other than Whole Foods or My house… we have this fast food place (not really fast food but don't know what to call it) and its like frozen yogurt and they sell like … flatbread things and whatnot but even those prob have a ton of calories!! lol

    I LOVE Sprouts Farmers Market. It's a natural/organic grocery store chain. They have an awesome produce section, and REALLY great prices. They also have a great meat section, and they offer great sales (and double ad Wednesdays, where the prior week sale ad and current sale ad's prices are both good). Sprouts is my go to store for meat, cheese, eggs, fruit, veggies. I currently avoid their bakery, because the small of fresh baking bread and the sight of cookies and muffins (OMG their pistachio muffins are to die for!) is too big a temptation. I usually grab some pantry staples here too (whole wheat pasta, spaghetti sauce, canned tomatoes, canned beans).

    I also like Fresh and Easy- a small grocery chain that specializes in grab and go items.

    brandilyn - i'm going to guess by your choices that you live in socal? awesome haha

    i'm a major fan of sprouts as well, it's the only place i shop. actually, i take that back, i shop at trader joe's when i'm looking for something special. there's an independent pizza place down the street from me that does all gluten free crusts, organic meats and veg, etc. and it's soooo good. not necessarily healthy, but definitely better quality and 'safer'.

    I love trader joes and whole foods but it feels like their soo expensive. Not very college student friendly
