What's Good There?

No. 1: Pita Jungle

This weekend I got to go to a few awesome vegan eateries around Arizona.  One of these being-Pita Jungle. I took my parents here while we were at Fashion Square in Scottsdale AZ.  The food court consisted of...

-Subway (on GCU's campus so didn't want it)

-Panda Express (ditto^)

-Panera (good but only could get their Greek quinoa salad)

-Five Guys (not really the healthiest)

-Charley's Philly Cheese Steaks (ditto to that again^ plus no real good vegan stuff)

We found ourselves in line at the Pita Jungle after denying all other food court options.  We wanted to try this restaurant because it sounded awesome, healthy, and had good-feeling food.  

I am the kind of person who's not just a grazer or an eater, but I am both! I eat a lot throughout the day and I love food, so when I purchase a meal I want it to FILL ME UP.

Not only did Pita jungle look delicious, it had BIG servings (and I love that)! 

What I ordered was...

-1 regular Pita (vegan friendly but not gluten free) 

-Red pepper hummus 

-Marinated tofu

-Spinach & lettuce 

-Roasted red pepper

-Cucumbers

-Edamame & corn mix

-Quinoa 

-Mixed vegetables 

-Balsamic glaze

This combination was SO GOOD. I could eat this meal for the rest of my life.  It consisted of plenty of vegetables and was high in protein! The tofu, quinoa, and edamame gave this meal about 31 P! (if you count your macros).  The only high carb count from this meal was the pita bread, but they offered  bowls and salads if you don't want the bread.  This meal was an overall power meal; high protein, low carb, low fat, and almost no sugar.  I felt like superwoman after eating this.

This specific restaurant was set up as a chipotle/subway style where you have many different options of what you would like to add to your pita, salad, or bowl.  There are as well platters, soup, side orders, desserts, smoothies, and additional drinks.

The menu is so extensive, it's hard to put all of the options in this blog! The best thing I can do is give the link for the menu http://www.pitajungle.com/menu

All you have to do is select your location and see what they offer at a restaurant close to you.  

The information I have given I found on their website.  It is really an awesome establishment with a wide variety.  If you are eating with people who have dietary restrictions, I recommend seeking out this restaurant.  There is something for everyone and that is just such an awesome thing sought after in today's society! 

Hope you guys enjoyed this post, if you have a Pita Jungle near you, comment below what you think of it/what you order! Thank you for stopping by to read this. :)
