| - I had the privilege of taking my son out to many lunch dates last week. While he decided to splurge on in-n-out the day prior while I took the role of envious on-looker, I got to choose the following day's lunch spot. Using my trusty Yelp App, I looked for something healthy in the Summerlin area. Krayvings popped up. I can't believe I've never heard of this place, especially considering my in-laws live across the street. We walked in around 1pm and were greeted by a sweet server who proceeded to explain how to order off of the ipad.
What a wonderful system!! I have many friends who have dietary restrictions, and instead of ingredients getting lost in translation, they would be able to pick and choose exactly what they wanted to add or exclude and send it directly to the kitchen. We would also avoid the eye-roll of servers from being "picky" as some like to call it. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed wonderful, healthy, and delicous food on a beautiful day. My son chose the tofu bowl which had zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and tofu over a bed of quinoa. It was HUGE and he seriously almost finished the entire thing! He's a little beast when it comes to eating tofu and I'm happy I could get such healthy food for him on the go.
I ordered the baby kale and sweet potato salad with grilled chicken instead of shrimp. I also opted for the lemon vinegarette rather than balsalmic. This was a gorgeous, light salad with rainbows of veggies and sweet potato. I wish there was more sweet potato (which you can add on the ipad!) and that they were cooked more consistently. However, overall, this was a great salad that filled me up. We also shared a small melon juice which was so good, especially with the tang at the end from the lemon. Upon check-out, I saw the tray of oversize chocolate chip cookies which my son convinced me to purchase. It was also delicious. The total for our meal was a bit on the pricey side, but that's usually what happens when you dine at a healthy restaurant. I would love to know where the ingredients are purchased from, and if they're organic as they're not specified on the menu. I guess I'll have to ask next time I'm there. Thanks Krayvings for being so inviting and we will definitely be back.
