Lunch in a (compostable) cup

After all the fuss about The Glowing Bowl, I decided to try it out. That coincided with my being bedridden for several days with a high fever and low appetite. When I was finally able to trek out, I decided to go for something that would be healthy and nourishing, so I tried the new neighborhood eatery. On recommendation, I ordered the Green Lemonade, a 12-ounce concoction that is bright green and contains organic lemons, romaine lettuce, cale, ginger and apple, all pulverized to combine into a thick drink so unique in taste I can hardly describe it.

Satisfied, I went back today and, on recommendation of another diner, ordered the Seasonal Special. Pale orange in color, this hand-crafted "juice" contains organic oranges, pineapple, banana, coconut and agave, a natural sweetener. Heavenly.

For $8.25 plus tax - the price of a burger, fries and cola - you can walk away feeling full and well nourished. The service was efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere calm and quiet. The plastic cup, made of cornstarch, was compostable, and the napkin recyclable.
