Gone are the days of harboring that bitter aftertaste of guilt after a post-workout munch with newly opened Get It Now Foods’ delicious but nutritious menu, which offers a fresh and zesty twist to your favorite everyday meals. Delivering a diverse selection of healthy entrées, from freshly chopped grape tomato salad and mouthwatering soup to a zingy lemon salmon, and black bean veggie burger, I was naturally allured by the most distinctive item on the menu—the Team Bowl. Just imagine it: six ounces of succulently seasoned chicken breast topped with a perfectly cooked egg over easy, sliced garden-fresh jalapeños, crisp cilantro and drizzled Sriracha sauce—all resting on a bed of luscious white rice. Without hesitation, I took advantage of the café’s unique poolside feature and basked in the sun’s rays, all while delighting my taste buds with an ambrosia-like Strawberry Kombucha. If you can’t find the time in your jam-packed schedule to experience the area’s new summertime hotspot, this one-of-a-kind eatery will bring the experience onto your very own dinner table with their option to order wholesome ready-made meals for your family to enjoy. You can even subscribe to a monthly meal membership! Get It Now Foods, 530 Post Court, El Dorado Hills.
