Pure California, Fitzrovia, London

Hmmm… the wraps are Ok but not great. The muffins taste like they have added bran - even the chocolate ones. I’m not clear that healthy food is worth the extreme cost that comes attached to it.

I try and have the odd salad every week to feel a little healthier and was very impressed with Pure although I do think it’s expensive. They have prepacked salads, or an extensive bar where you can pick your own ingredients. But they’re all priced in categories so that you will rarely pay less than £5 for a fairly simple salad - £1.85 for the lettuce base, another £1.60 for meat/fish and then 80p for other veg etc. You can pick your dressing and that’s no extra cost.

Great for a healthy lunch and they do smoothies too, but does feel a little pricey considering the ingredients. Sad that healthy = costly.

Why can’t we have one in South West London? Seriously, every town needs one! Healthy food - you make the choice of exactly what you want and it is all mixed up and put into a container. Delicious AND healthy….perfect.

The ideal healthy lunch option without feeling hungry afterwards. You can more or less choose exactly what you want in your box as described below, which is a great feature. Plus the smoothies and muffins taste amazing. If you just want a snack, then simply grab a container of nuts or maybe a little houmous and carrots.

The little touch of pure organic I like the best is displayed in the window, where little trays of real grass have been left to grow. So simple, yet so effective.

This place is such a great idea… Its typically LA healthy living, but without the sunshine…

You pick your container, then you pick your base ( different types of lettuce) Then you pick 2 either meat/fish for example, and then 4/5 Veg… you then pick your dressing… they mix it all up for you… back into the container and away you go.

They also do wonderful smoothies, and things like muesli to tie you over until lunch… just wish it was a more a sit in place really…
