    Healthy Bites Preview: Pocket Produce

    The brand new Pocket Produce in Clintonville has been open for exactly one month, and it’s quickly become a hit with healthy food fans from all over the city. The restaurant’s casual setup is designed for people who are looking for the trifecta of: fast, affordable and nutritious. All salads land in the $8.00 to $12.00 range (with protein upgrades optional) and are available in pre-made containers that allow for very easy grab-and-go dining.

    “The whole idea is to energize and nourish people,” said Pocket Produce owner Natalie Appelbaum during our interview with her back in April. “How you feel is also important after you eat, and we can connect with how they need to feel satisfied.”

    If you have not yet tried Pocket Produce, Columbus Underground is providing you with a perfect opportunity to sample several new off-the-menu items at the upcoming Healthy Bites festival on July 29th at the Columbus Museum of Art. Pocket Produce will be showcasing a Greek Salad Shooter  (pictured up top), served with kalamata olives, tangy Bulgarian feta, and finished with a fresh herb salad, as well as a Thai Carrot Noodle with Seared Tofu (pictured below), served in a cilantro lime peanut sauce.
