| - Luna's is one of my favorite places to grab healthy food in Charlotte. It's located in Southend. They serve healthy raw vegan food that is absolutely delicious; even if you're a meat lover.

I love their coconut milk lattes. They are rich, creamy, and full of flavor!
I've been there several times. I usually go with their arugula harvest salad. The salad has arugula, red cabbage, spriralized root vegtables, avocado, pear, caramelized pecans, pumpkin seeds, raisins, homade cashew basil cheese (The cashew basil cheese literally tastes like legit cheese!) and maple mustard vinaigrette. I like to have falafel added on top. Their salads are giant, which I love, because they fill you up all day. The vegetables are always fresh and ripe.
I also like their tree of life juice. I'm obsessed with the jars that their juices come in. I like to keep them for to-go drinks and around the house. I usually drink their juices before a race.
They had a new item on the menu, sweet potato sushi! It had red bell peppers, cucumbers and arugula wrapped with sweet potato rice and nori leaves and garnished with a lightly spiced Thai chili sauce. I highly recommend these too!
Their whole grain vegan bread with almond butter is also a delicious side in the morning with their coffee.
Their collard green wrapped quinoa burgers are also a great option!
Another favorite of mine is the Lunasagna. It has layers of tender, crisp zucchini noodles, cahsew basil cheese, sun-dried tomato sauce and mushrooms. It's also served with a side salad. The Lunasagna was really good and I didn't think I'd like it because it was cold, but it was perfect!
Ive also ordered the avocado and basil sandwich. It was filled with fresh organic slices of avocado, tomato, onion, sprouts, basil, homemade lemon parsley hummus and cashew sour cream wrapped up in a collard green. You have the choice of vegan multigrain bread or collard greens. I like the collard greens because they are thick and strong; they don't fall apart like iceberg lettuce wraps. For my side, I had their broccoli Waldorf salad. It consisted of diced broccoli, green apple, celery, walnuts, raisin, red onions, homemade chasew mayonnaise, and lemon juice. I don't know how they do it because it didn't taste vegan. I felt like I was eating a summer broccoli waldorf salad drenched in mayonnaise. I'm so impressed.
I love Luna's atmosphere, their staff is very friendly and helpful, and the service is quick! I can't wait to try more on the menu!
