MIXT
mixt
This might seem like just another build-your-own salad bowl concept, but it’s a lot more than that. At Mixt, you can choose one of their well-balanced and nutritious signature salads, opt for a market plate and choose your own main, 2 sides and house-made sauce or go for a hearty (but healthy) grain bowl!
The best part? They only source from farms and purveyors they trust, and always keep pesticides, chemicals and GMO’s out of their recipes.
