As you do when on vacation, I spent the day shopping in Nice Stopped by quite a few stores and found myself in the main promenade around lunchtime. 

The main promenade is where there are trains, restaurants, shops – you name it, but there are always people. It was not quite lunch and not quite dinner, so decided to pop into Greens Café for a quick snack.

Unlike the other restaurants and cafes around town, Greens was nice because it has more of a ‘health food’ vibe. Now, I am not a particular ‘health food’ afficianado, but I do appreciate the ability to have fruits and vegetables instead of always the pizza and gelato found throughout the dinner and lunch restaurants. 

The café is casual. You can order from the counter inside, but if you sit outside there is a QR code at the table you can use. Alternatively, there are helpful wait staff that come around who can also take your order. I’m not always a huge fan of the QR code, so I opted to flag down the server and talk to a human to order

As a snack, ordered the ‘Green bowl’ (10 euros), which had mango, strawberry, banana, and granola over yogurt. The fruit was nice and fresh. The granola was also crispy and had chocolate shavings. So, not exactly super healthy, but still made me feel good about the choice  

I also ordered a SO Green shake w/ Spinach, Apple, Cucumber, & Ginger (6 euros). It could’ve been blended slightly more, but still was a nice & light pick me up. These juices usually have a sweet edge to them and this one did too, but it was just what I needed for energy.

Overall, if you’re in the mood for a smoothie, yogurt, quinoa, or health bowl and you’re in Nice, this is your spot. It essentially the local version of ‘Jamba Juice’! So, if Jamba isn’t your thing, steer clear. If this is your jam, you can easily & quickly sit, grab a snack, and be back on your way in no time, powered by ‘healthy’ energy :p
