• Dr. Louise Wannamaker, Obstetrics & Gynecology, recommends the Basic Bowl. It’s filled with grains, greens + chickpeas — aka all the vitamins, nutrients, and protein that a pregnant person (or any person) needs.

• Dr. Julia Saylors, Medical Oncology and Hematology & Integrative Medicine, enjoys the heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory + cancer-preventing ingredients offered here. She orders the Greek salad, salmon entree + a side of crispy Brussels sprouts.

• Dr. Danielle Metzler, Family Medicine and Primary Care, goes for the Span-ish Chop Green Bowl, which comes with a variety of veggies, rotisserie chicken, and avocado ranch. Pro tip: Order dressing on the side to control the portion, and skip the queso fresco to limit cholesterol. Another of her pro tips? Check out Point Break Coffee nearby if you’re looking for juices, smoothies, or a light meal, instead.
