I was looking for healthier options for lunch while doing my best to keep my New Year's resolution…read morealthough this may not last long when the pizza or Mexican food cravings kick in. Organic Oasis is located on Spenard Rd. and W. 26th Ave. in a strip mall next to Video Game Depot. The interior dining room is open and spaciously laid out. A stage is set up in one corner of the dining area for live music or open mic nights and is one of several places hosting Spenard Jazz Fest this year. Shelves decorated with antiques for sale as well as artwork and crafts from local artists adorn the entire wall next to the stage. The employees were busy but friendly and greeted me when I walked in. I had just finished a workout earlier before arriving and decided to try one of their Power Smoothies on a whim. I chose the Sea Foam Smoothie with the Moon Mix (green papaya powder, flax seed, chicory, pectin, rice bran, calcium, magnesium, calcium, and L. acidophilus with 72 ionic trace minerals extracted from sea water....sounds very healthy to me!) that promotes cleansing, clarity and weight loss as the health benefits. Not knowing what to expect from such an eclectic list of ingredients, the smoothie itself was delicious and refreshing after the first sip. It certainly lives up to its name as the Sea Foam by its appearance (I think kale was one of the ingredients I missed due to the color). I had the Peanut Butter Conspiracy in a previous visit (peanut butter, banana, apple juice, and spirulina) which was also very good. I can't help but think that the owners are vinyl collectors of classic rock. On a side note, Peanut Butter Conspiracy was the name of a psychedelic pop rock band from the late 60's. Smoothies aside, the food here is also worth trying out. Some of the dishes I had on previous visits include the Lamb Burger (Australian lamb, red onion, lettuce, tomato, feta, Swiss cheese and tomatoes), the Chopped Chicken Salad (tomato, bell peppers, cucumbers, red onions, and sunflower seeds), the Roasted Brussels Sprouts with chipotle sauce, and the Bacon Beef Bleu Burger (organic grass fed beef, avocado, bleu cheese, lettuce, red onions, tomato, mayo, and uncured turkey bacon). They offer delivery through DoorDash and a website to order online for pick-up. This is a good option for healthy meals but we'll see if I can actually stick to my New Year's resolution.

We were visiting the University of Alaska Anchorage June 26th and needed lunch before heading out…read moreof town. Organic Oasis had some great reviews and the two in my party were semi-vegetarians. There were 6 other people in the room. The menu was well laid out and had great options for the meat challenged. We ordered our lunch at 1130. We were served water and then we waited... and waited. At 1230, we debated on leaving when I finally asked the hostess if she knew how much longer it would be, her response was curt and short, "they just started it." We thought it was odd that with so few in the room, the meal was just started nearly an hour after ordering. At 1250 the meal arrived. We had ordered the protein plate, a Thai salad and a turkey sandwich. The protein plate had an unseasoned burger patty that was crispy on the outside and raw on the inside and the steamed vegetables were barely cooked with the carrots still having the peels on them, the Thai plate had zero sauce. The turkey sandwich was exceptional, I opted for no cheese and added avocado. At 115, I went to the counter and the hostess looked very weary and asked what I wanted when the phone rang. She picked it up and immediately hung it back up without answering, then took the receiver off the phone. I said I would like to pay my bill. At this point, the hostess turned to the waiter who had been waiting on us saying, "these are yours." Three meals, only the sandwich was edible, came to $75. Wow. We were hoping that someone was just having a bad day, but seeing other reviews, our experience was similar to others. Will not be going back.

This place caters to many dietary restrictions, and is the home of Kat's Epic Trail bites! They have a lot to offer including fresh fruit smoothies, smoothie bowls, GF pizza, coffee bar, teas, and snacks. Kat, the owner has always had a vision to have a healthy snack spot & she is finally making her vision a reality. She was behind the counter mixing up smoothies with her staff. Everyone was very friendly & was great to chat about the snack boutique. I ordered the strawberry banana smoothie, and the strawberry, banana, açaí smoothie bowl. For the smoothie bowls there are 3 bases to choose from as well as 18 topping options. 7 toppings are included with the bowl for $10, which is an awesome deal! The granola is house-made & GF as well. I really enjoyed my smoothie bowl & my son liked his smoothie. I love finding places that offer smoothies made with real fruit. The whipped cream is also made in house & unsweetened. So if you're looking for a place to get smoothies without all the additives this is certainly the spot. You can also stock up on trail bites, and other snacks, or just go in to grab a drink. If you're looking for some healthier or dietary restriction friendly restaurant options in town the Cold Coconut should definitely be on your list!

They have something for everyone including non dairy options. They list all of the ingredients and nutritional information so you know exactly what you're getting. Most of their options have no added sugars, and the sweetness is derived exclusively from the fruit. They also have protein based smoothies if you're looking for a meal replacement. I ordered the fit girl strawberry green machine protein smoothie, and it was so delicious and filling. When I make protein smoothies at home they never taste this good! I get the fruit based smoothie for my toddler, and he likes the coocoo for fruit one, and it has a great tropical flavor! This is probably one of my favorite place for smoothies in anchorage! I think their smoothie menu is one of a kind. It's perfect that it's drive up so I don't have to unload my child, and service is always friendly & quick! Sometimes there is a bit of a line, but the product is worth the wait.

Acai Alaska is located in a small trailer/food truck that sits atop a hill on the corner of Brandon St. and Old Seward Highway directly across from Southside Grill. There are new owners who have taken over from the original who operated at a strip mall off of Lake Otis and Dowling several years ago. The employees are super friendly and easy to converse with. The menu hasn't changed much although some of the food items like Musubi and almost all of the sandwich selections except the Grilled Cheese and Grilled Cheese with Ham are no longer available. There is a drive-thru window on one side where you can place your order. I ordered the Mauna Kea Bowl (topped with bananas, blueberries, strawberries, macadamia nuts, walnuts, chocolate-covered almonds, granola with raisins, and coconut shavings) on the Nutty Heaven base (Acai berries, bananas, strawberries, and peanut butter). The ingredients were fresh, filling, and made to order so expect to wait several minutes if there are a line of cars. However, it is worth the wait and easily a delicious healthy alternative for lunch and not just a snack. Other items on the menu include the Tiger Shark (blackberries, kiwi, raspberries, walnuts, almonds, goji berries, bee pollen, chia, and a variety of seeds that includes pumpkin, sunflower, flax, and hemp seeds), the Bonsai (kiwi, chocolate-covered Acai/blueberry, macadamia nuts, and spirulina) with a unique color combination once the ingredients are blended together, the Sleeping Lady Smoothie (Acai blend topped with mango and shredded coconut), and the Fireweed Smoothie (Acai blend topped with acerola and goji berries). Punch cards are offered for return visits. Buy nine bowls, get the tenth one for free. This place is a good option for those who want a healthier meal or a post-workout smoothie that offers a mix of healthy carbs and protein.

With 3 bases & 10 signature bowls to choose from there's certainly something for everyone! They also have smoothies & a cafe menu available as well. The blends are all dairy free & there's no added sugars. On this visit I ordered a 16oz MOFO bowl (blackberries, kiwi, mango, raspberries, strawberries, chocolate covered açaí & blueberries, granola with raisins & almonds, coconut shavings & I added a honey drizzle) with the original açaí blend. For my son I got the 16 oz Hawaiian blend smoothie. I love these smoothies for kids because all the sugar comes from the fruit. Go check this trailer out to get yourself a nice healthy treat!
