40 DECEMBER 2017 ArcAd A News PLACES WE LIKE By Nick Smith Living on the go is something we come to learn quickly as adults. Flying to and from events in our daily lives can sometimes leave us with little time to focus on our well-being, as eating healthy can seem too time consuming to fit into the schedule. A place nearby that provides healthy food for fast moving locals would be a welcomed answer for many, and the Original ChopShop fits this bill. The Original ChopShop has multiple locations, but the most well-known is in Scottsdale, in the heart of Old Town. There are places to sit down and eat, including two small indoor areas and a porch that looks out over the different area shops. But ChopShop also puts a strong focus on those who are looking to eat elsewhere. Walk in during the lunchtime rush and you are certain to be greeted with a line of customers who are ducking in during a lunchbreak or who are just on their way to their daily workout. Drinks are actually some of the most popular selections, which are convenient refreshers for those trying to rush from one daily event to another. You can stand near the counter and watch your juice being freshly squeezed, with options like Cold Buster, which is a jolt to the system of carrot, orange, ginger, turmeric and lemon. Those looking for a more filling option should look to the protein shakes, like the Beach Burn, which combines strawberry, pineapple, vanilla whey protein powder, sugar-free strawberry syrup and coconut water. One that could pass for an actual meal is the Jacked Up PB+J, which places a scoop of peanut butter with strawberry, bananas, protein powder, agave nectar and milk. Two of the best entries from the menu come from the sandwich list. One is the Tuna Salad. Heaped between two slides of 12 Grain Ciabatta, the flavorful fish sits with some familiar characters, like onion, celery and cucumber. But the inclusion of olive tapenade and roasted red pepper are what make this truly unique. The second is the Grilled Steak Sandwich, which is as filling and rich a sandwich as you’ll likely be able to find. The grilled sirloin is tender, the caramelized onion and mushrooms give a kind of sweet flavor, and the bed of arugula is a welcomed crunchy texture. The horseradish crème might be the tastiest ingredient of all, with a sharp taste that makes you sit up straight. Hungry visitors who aren’t looking for bread can still get a filling meal with the Kale + Quinoa salad. It’s a large dish that may take more than one sitting to finish, with snap peas, tomatoes, raisins and corn adding flavor. Almonds give the salad a kind of smoky taste, with lemon-dijon dressing providing a tangy aftertaste. Other options include Protein Bowls, Parfaits and coffee selections, including a delicious cold brew. It might be the perfect pick-me-up to get you energized before rushing off to the next appointment in an always busy day.
