Vegetarian "fast" food! They sell brown rice+black bean+avocado+salsa bean bowls for $5 which are delicious!!! They also normally come with sour cream and cheese, but you can imagine my surprise when I asked if it could be vegan, and they said "of course! Would you like vegan cheeze and sour cream instead?" Now I'm not a fan of the faux dairy but I thought it was pretty cool that they keep that in stock! On top they put a creamy lemon or smoky chipotle-lime sauce which are delicious! They are almond based, vegan and sooo good! (this coming from a girl who always puts her sauces "on the side")
They also have cupcakes (not vegan yet) and Italian cream sodas for sale. So if you're feeling like a healthy little lunch in downtown Boston, swing by Jack and the Giant Bean Bowl-Open Wednesday thru Friday weather permitting, from 11ish to 2ish. Perfect for a meal while your out buying veggies at the Copley Farmers Market!

mmmm i really must stop by there!
Oh cool! I usually ignore all the food vendors bc they rarely sell anything I'm interested in eating. I will have to check it out on Friday when I hit the Copley Farmer's Market.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm a holistic health counselor and yoga teacher, not a RD. Definitely a different angle in the training but we're all after the same thing--healthy happy clients, right? :-)
that looks so awesome! I haven't been to boston in ages, the pics are so cute.
That is a great looking place!
My favorite new food idea and cheap appetizer:
Portabello mushrooms- turn em upside down, cut of the stem, put in a little Rocheford(t? sp) blue cheese (aged in French caves, the best), and just throw into over until melted. Put on a bed of fresh spinach for salad or just eat like app..
An easy pair to make lunch: squash soup, flavored with slight spice but no salt.
Love yah! Great blog!
