What I think of minigrow

IMG_8029

Yesterday, my family and I had the pleasure of trying minigrow for the very first time. 
minigrow is a healthful spin-off fast casual sensation 'honeygrow' known for noodles and greens. 

honeygrow has dozens of locations all over the US and minigrow already has three locations in NYC, one is Chicago and two other locations in Boston.

The world knows I am the juice queen! If I had to give up food and only drink cold pressed juices, I would. All these juices are exclusively for honeygrow, all are cold-pressed, no sugar added and are 100% juice.

-better off red: watermelon, beet, lemon, raspberry.
-green is good: apple, spinach, cucumber, lemon, basil.
- orange you thirsty: orange, carrot, lemon, ginger. This was my kids favorite!

 I loved every one of them but if I had to choose a favorite I would go with 'better off red' since I love beets. The juices are incredibly refreshing and delightful. I love them so much that I want to buy them in bulks and stock them in my fridge so I can have them daily.

minigrow is introducing a new menu of ingredients this week that are exclusive to NYC, such as spiraled raw beet noodles, curly kale + cucumber ribbons and roasted chickpeas. They also have delicious kid-friendly toppings including slow cooked chicken, miso corn, dash-poached salmon, avocado, and sesame cucumber. Did I mention that the menu includes made-to-order noodles and tasty housemade sauces.
