Best Places to Fuel Your Soul Near Campus

By Noelle Nigrelli 

If you are like me, I am sure you try to eat healthy, but get tempted by the chicken fingers and french fries at spit. Whenever I get back to school, I find it really hard to manage my eating and to make sure I am getting in my fruits and vegetables. After a few weeks of eating from the dining hall I feel tired, gross, and weighed down. 

Today I am here to tell you about some of the best affordable options off campus to get a healthy bite to eat. 

The first place I love to go to is Snap Pizza. You can get either a personal sized pizza or a delicious salad for less than $15! The best part is that it's right next to Hope Cookies so you can treat yourself to a cookie afterwards!

My next destination is Cava in Suburban Square. Cava is essentially like a Greek spin on a Chipotle. You can make any bowl you want with protein and vegetables. It's delicious and not too pricey, and depending on your appetite, you can even make a particularly heart bowl last for two meals. It is also in a great fun location in Suburban Square! 

Although sushi may not be the healthiest, if i'm ever craving a roll, my go to place is Vics right down Lancaster Ave! You can get three rolls for $13, and the sushi is always fresh and delicious. 

For smoothies, salads, paninis, and acai bowls, JUICE POD is the ONLY answer. Everything is soooo good and the prices are very reasonable. I have loved everything I have tried from there. 

Finally, if you love a good stir fry you should check out honeygrow. They have delicious options with different sauces, vegetables, and mix-ins! 

If you find yourself struggling with your meals this semester, check out some of these places! I promise you won't be disappointed.
