Fruitive is a healthy juice/sandwich shop located in Virginia Beach, just a few blocks from the oceanfront. It is the perfect choice for those looking to refuel after a long workout at the beach.

Food

Fruitive offers a nice selection of healthy, fresh options. Juiced drinks, berry bowls, overnight oats, specialty toasts, acai bowls, as well as wraps and quesadillas round out the healthy menu.

Many of the sandwiches contain organic produce and all included a whole wheat wrap. I appreciate restaurants that use whole grain as it is a much healthier option.

I ordered the southwest romaine wrap, which was a delicious whole grain sandwich including romaine lettuce, a selection of vegetables, wild rice, avocado, hummus, and a ranch dressing.

Mike ordered one of the liquid meals; he chose the F.I.T drink, a combination of almond milk, blueberries, peanut butter, and bananas.

Prices are a bit higher, but what you would expect for healthier, higher quality ingredients. The sandwiches can be ordered in whole or half sizes; prices start around 10 bucks. Liquid drinks range in price from $10-15.

Service

There really isn’t much service involved. Food is ordered at the front counter. The employees seemed to enjoy their job. Everyone was laidback and friendly.

Atmosphere

Fruitive is a very small restaurant with not many places to sit, however, the inside does have a cozy, library-style feel. The only downside to healthy restaurants is that they are usually situated in very small, cramped spaces without much of an atmosphere. This is more of a quick grab and go snack/drink type of place, basically a nice quick stop post-beach.

Final Remarks

I would definitely visit Fruitive again next time I vacation to Virginia Beach. I like the fact that they use local organic produce. There are plenty of healthy options for everyone on the menu. I would rather enjoy a healthy lunch or snack at Fruitive then waste my money at an unhealthy, overpriced chain. Any health conscious diners should be pleased with the offerings.
