Grabbagreen Opening in Gilbert - 2 More to Follow

Coming in March, Scottsdale-based Grabbagreen will be opening in Gilbert at 75 E Rivulon Blvd.**** near the recently opened L.A. Fitness and Jersey Mike's in the Rivulon development in a continuation of their rapid expansion.  And they are not stopping there.  Two more locations will be opening up with one in the Pinnacle Peak area of Scottsdale and the other located in Phoenix.  What is Grabbgreen?  They describe themselves this way:

"Grabbagreen’s Eat Clean® menu is preservative-free, naturally gluten-free and GMO free. The whole food menu is based on super food ingredients and offers a full selection of grain and green-based bowls with fresh hormone-free and antibiotic-free proteins provided by local farms, fresh-pressed juice, handcrafted smoothies and acai bowls, breakfast, and healthy kid-friendly items."

Check out the menu which includes grain or green-based boxes, breakfast, smoothies, and juices.  Nutritional information is also provided on the website.  Some menu highlights:

****Google Maps does not like 75 and defaults to 275 E Rivulon Blvd. - However you look at it, this is located at the NE corner of the Santan 202 & Giblert Rd.

Update (3/13/17): Grabbagreen in Gilbert is now open.

New Starbucks Refreshers Available in Arizona and Southern California

Late last week, Starbucks began selling a new line of drinks called "Refreshers." On the Starbucks blog, we find out that there are two flavors, Very Berry Hibiscus and Cool Lime. The new drinks are described this way,

Starbucks Refreshers™ Iced Beverages come in two flavors: Very Berry Hibiscus with real blackberries and Cool Lime with a slice of real lime. Each contains real fruit, fruit juice – and green, unroasted coffee extract. We call it Greenstyle™ Coffee.

Upon further inspection, these drinks have been tested, at least, in San Diego, CA for a couple of months and it seems Starbucks is now pushing the test out further to Arizona and the rest of Southern California. It must only be a matter of time before the Refreshers go national.
