customizable design your own bowls - Edit
I recently went to Mixt Downtown for a late lunch. I have been a longtime vegan or strict vegetarian. I realize plant based options are much more popular nowadays than they were when I first became a vegan more than two decades ago. Not everyone is going to be a vegan or vegetarian yet vegetable forward is here to stay as people want to eat healthier.
Read moreI love the concept of Mixt for they offer customizable design your own bowls w/ high quality plant based ingredients.
The ingredients on hand feature many varieties of organic greens: mixt greens, kale, butter, lettuce, baby spinach, arugula, & romaine hearts.
All the other ingredients are local & seasonal except for the roasted red peppers. Designing your bowl here is an art yet luckily I had the help of manager Anchalee who gave me some helpful tips to making my bowl.
I opted for purple barley & kale as my base. I chose the following five speciality ingredients: edamame, herb roasted potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, roasted butternut squash, & roasted mushrooms. I opted to mix in the savory mix (parsley, chives, & tarragon).
To dress it up went w/ Anchalee's suggestion of the lemon tahini. Went medium dressed for it per her suggestion.
The bowl was awesome, flavorful, & healthy. Probably the best customized barley kale edamame roasted veggie bowl w/ lemon tahini I ever had in my life.
Thanks Mixt! Thanks Anchalee. I will be back.
Pros: customizable design your own bowls

Definitely a good option for fresh lunch but small portions for the price - Edit
Otherwise 4 stars. I absolutely love the concept, just ended up being hungry after eating there even tho I got all the carbs in there. You can choose what you want in there, they offer different grains, greens, veggies, fruit, seeds and other stuff. I think only protein was white tofu but it was tasty white tofu.

my favorite lunch spot downtown - Edit
Mixt is my favorite place to get a fresh salad or grain bowl at lunch time downtown. They have vegan sald and bowl ideas on the menu or you can get whatever you want. They have tons of veggies and fruits, quinoa and other grains, edamame, peas, and tofu for protein, plus nuts and vegan dressings. The portion is generous and you can order online to skip the line. Workers receive fair wages, all of the materials are plant based and they have a rewards program. Yes, the salads cam be between 12 and 15 dollars, but they are fresh, local and organi,. Very worth it!

Meh - Edit
Had the Be Well salad. Wasn't a big fan, I found it quite bitter and otherwise tasteless. Healthy food shouldn't mean compromising on taste.
