They offer a variety of things including curated and signature bowls/salads, açaí bowls, smoothies, wraps, and some healthier treats. Their menu is quite extensive and they truly have something for everyone. Everything is also very customizable, which I appreciate! I didn't dine, but DoorDashed it instead. This was hassle free and not too expensive. I actually recommend going this route as you could save money through deals on those delivery apps. I will say, this food is slightly more expensive. But this is due to the quality of ingredients they use. I really love that they don't use seed oils and focus on using lots of whole foods. This is evident in the flavor of the food and the way you feel after eating it! I had to order their famous chicken caesar wrap. Their chicken caesar wrap includes lemon garlic chicken breast, lemon garlic kale, parmesan cheese, avocado slices, avocado caesar dressing, wrapped in either a white, spinach, or whole wheat tortilla that is pressed on a flattop. This was phenomenal and easily one of the best wraps I've had. It was huge and packed with ample amounts of chicken. The lemon garlic chicken was not dry at all and had great flavor. The lemon garlic kale accompanied the chicken perfectly and added a nice crunch. I appreciate them using kale as I felt like it didn't get soggy and the texture was nice in the wrap. The wrap also had a decent amount of sharp Parmesan which was just heavenly. The avocado was subtle, but added a creaminess to it. Then the avocado caesar dressing really ties everything together. I could go on and on about how good this wrap was. It was so balanced and there was just the amount of each ingredient in it, perfect lunch! I ended up getting a side of their kale & shaved brussel sprout salad as well, but didn't like this as much. The salad consisted of shredded kale, shaved brussel sprouts, carrots, cranberries, and maybe a nut of some sort (there isn't a description provided on their menu of this item). I was disappointed when there wasn't a dressing or something over it to bind everything together. With that being said, it was bland and not memorable. I think this would be better in a bowl as it's intended, not as a side! Overall, I was very impressed with Vale and they have easily become my favorite place to get a wrap from in Gainesville. I love that they focus on using healthy, high quality, whole foods, and avoid things like seed oils. It is evident in the flavor of their food. This does make the prices a bit higher, but you are really paying for what you get and I think the portions are worth it. My wrap my phenomenal and one of the best chicken caesar salad wraps I've had. The wrap was absolutely packed with chicken and had the perfect ratio of chicken to dressing to filling. It was a very filling meal and could easily be two servings. I will definitely need to come back and try some of their bowls as well, they truly have endless options to customize your own bowl. If you are looking for something healthier, filling, and delicious-- check this place out, you won't regret it!

Parking can be tricky here, as there are other businesses and the AC Hotel in the vicinity. My mom and I decided to stop in for a to go breakfast treat that was healthy and filling. The staff is always so nice and knowledgeable about the menu and products they offer. I went for the Beach Bowl, which is a blend of acai, mango, banana, and guava juice. The toppings are granola, honey, and your choice of one topper. I went with blueberries. While we waited, I noticed that they sell energy drinks, protein bar, and other goodies. They also sell protein/energy bites that they make in house which are my mom's fav. The bowl surprisingly did not melt on our ride home. Their acai is thick and so tasty because of the addition of the guava juice. It's not super sweet at all. The toppings were perfectly portioned and fresh. I love coming here whenever I'm craving acai. Rush Bowls has soooo many options it makes it hard sometimes to pick what I really want to try. However, I will be back soon to try out their smoothie options!

The whole organic thing really hadn't caught on yet, at least in Florida. Sure, you had vegetarians, but it wasn't to the degrees we have now. Anyhow, stopped here on my way to Tallahassee. Had dinner there. They had many options, but admittedly it seemed they were missing in action. Thank goodness I waited a few minutes because honestly that chicken I had was juicy. It definitely hit the spot, especially as I got to sit down languidly and enjoy it with my companion. Definitely wish the one in Tallahassee looked like this one. Heck, this one even gives competition to some of the ones in South Florida. I was left quite impressed. Truly the only reason I'm docking a star is because I had to wait for food.

Their menu consists of a variety of protein milkshakes, smoothies, customizable açaí bowls, waffles, and churros, as well as different types of teas/energy drinks. They give you the option to choose your own toppings and drizzles for the acai bowls, waffles, and churros, which is cool! It is quite like nothing I've been to before, in the best way! The interior is welcoming and fun. With gator memorabilia, including signed jerseys. The service is excellent and so personable. The husband and wife team who own the eatery are the nicest people. They are so sweet and really go out of their way to make sure their customers are satisfied. My dad and I both ordered a protein Belgian waffle topped with strawberries and blueberries, with a honey drizzle. The ordering system is super simple. You just order and pay at the front and they will bring it to you when it is ready. They served us our waters, my dad's milk, and some cutlery while our food was being prepared. The food came out roughly 10-15 after we ordered. It was presented very nicely and aesthetically. The waffle was hands down the best protein waffle I've ever had. It was dense, thick, and fluffy, but didn't have an artificial protein taste to it at all. The fresh berries and honey on top were the perfect addition. I also appreciated the sugar free syrup and swirls of cool whip and the side. The meal was very filling and satiating as well. Overall, I was more than impressed with Gainzville Hub! It is a wonderful establishment in downtown Gainesville serving great protein packed options. The inside is unique and fun. Service was awesome, super friendly, and efficient. The food -- phenomenal! Absolutely loved my protein Belgian waffle and had nothing but rave things to say about it. I also really appreciate how connected they are with the community and the school. You can tell they really care about their guests and the people who come by! Cannot wait to stop by again and try more menu items!

Sweet Berries is in a great location near Sweetwater and midtown. They serve a variety a breakfast/cafe and lunch foods.

I went there around 9am on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all. Upon walking in you are greeted with the nicest people. The staff is so friendly, accommodating, and efficient. They do a wonderful job running the eatery and keeping it very clean. The interior is the cutest thing. Very unique with such a fun vibe about it, it would be a great place to study. I absolutely love the telephone booth and floral accents throughout the inside. It is like nothing else in Midtown! Ordering is very simple and they will serve you your food once it is ready. I ended up ordering the veggie egg bites and the eggocado toast. The food came out within 10 minutes of me ordering and it was very fresh. You can tell they use higher quality, fresh ingredients. As the avocado toast definitely used real avocado and not a prepackaged spread. The protons are great and I thought the price was very reasonable for what I was served. The eggocado toast included 2 slices of a seeded toast, topped with avocado, lemon, red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, a hard boiled egg, cherry tomatoes, arugula, and hot sauce. I really enjoyed this dish, as it was nice and balanced. The eggs were boiled perfectly, the avocado and tomatoes were fresh, and the hot sauce, seasonings, and arugula complimented the dish very well. It was quite filling too. Would highly recommend ordering this, it hit the spot! The veggie egg bites were also a hit. As someone who really enjoys the Starbucks red pepper egg white bites, I was very excited to try these. They certainly didn't disappoint and were better than the Starbucks ones! They were egg white frittata bites with cheese, peppers, onions, and chives. The bites were also a good portion. They were fluffy with great flavor and balance. Really great and I would also order these again. Overall, I had a lovely meal here and would most definitely return! The service is great and the prices are very reasonable. I thought the portions were just right and the flavors were on point. The eggocado toast was super yummy and the perfect way to start my day. The egg white veggie bites were also quite tasty. I cannot wait to return and try more of their menu!!

Unlike similar mail order services, you don't have to lock in to any type of contract or such and can just come in if you want, pick out the meals you wish to buy, then buy them and leave. I think you can have them delivered as well or set up a plan where you get a certain number per week but I like to cook so I don't want all that: I just want to stop by and get a few when I will need some. Now, a few things to note. The meals I've had so far are fine but a bit bland. A bit of good curry powered and other spices added in goes a long way to making these meals much better than they seem just out of the box. They do seem healthy though and certainly not overly salty--all needed salt, pepper, and more for my taste. These meals also are refrigerated not frozen. So, you have a rather finite amount of time to heat them up and eat them. They heat in about three minutes in the microwave. For me, this is a good way to prepare for days when I won't have time to cook dinner--never will it replace my home cooking but it's good to know you can formulate a plan which is healthy and not expensive when you're in a hurry.

Each meal is $8.49 (yep, less than what I spend on lunch most days), and they last five to six days in the fridge, or up to four weeks in the freezer, which is perfect for someone who wants to eat well but doesn't always have the time (or energy) to cook. Their setup includes microwaves in-store and outdoor seating, so you can literally grab a meal and eat it right there. This feels like a little healthy fast food hack, minus the guilt and the drive-thru regret. What really sold me? The variety. Whether you're paleo, keto, vegetarian, vegan, or just trying to eat cleaner they have something for you. Every meal has a clear nutrition label, and everything is made fresh at their West Palm Beach kitchen. There's no mystery meat situation here, thank god. I've tried other meal services like Hello Fresh and Factor, and honestly? Ideal Nutrition gives you better value and better prices, without the subscription stress or the box of wilting spinach on your doorstep. This place has officially become my go-to.
