I ordered takeout and the vegan mac and cheese was so good I called the restaurant to confirm it was actually vegan. The soup was also a hit with my whole family, picky kids included. Unfortunately the black eyed peas I ordered tasted a little off and were a touch undercooked. Otherwise the rest of my meal was 5 stars, I will absolutely order again and again read more

I'm back in Augusta again for a quick delivery. I love this place. ANOTHER VEGAN SPOT?! I MINUS WELL BECOME VEGAN DAMNIT! Everyone greets me with smiles. Always offering for me to try a meal. The macaroni and cheese is definitely something I want to try, which is made with squash and "Love" by "Chef Rod." At least, I hope that's what I heard him say. If not, then I do apologize for getting your name wrong. And I promise to order a meal next time. But I always get my favorite shake which is the "Vital Shake." It has everything I need and makes me so full. It's a small restaurant and the area doesn't look like much. I always feel so comfortable when I come here as if I'm home. Actually, it makes me feel like I'm back up north at the corner store where they sell cheese steaks and hoagies only everything is Vegan. I need a place like this in Columbia, SC. Thank you for being so welcoming. read more

This is a hidden gem in Augusta. There are so many things to like about this place including the smoothies. I was in town visiting and needed a healthy and clean smoothie. I went here and got an almond smoothie that really brought me back to life. They have a vegan menu of hot food as well. I bought a smoothie, that the guy let me taste, as well as some organic lip balm and some organic black charcoal soap. The staff is funny and personal. They really care deeply about what goes into your food and your body. read more

I'm not going to lie driving up to and pulling up it looked a bit sketch but I am so glad we did not judge a book by its cover & came in. WOW. JUST WOW!! That is all I can say. This place is truly amazing and I'm surprised on how this place is NOT TALKeD ABOUT!! You guys have to come here & definitely need to try this if you are in Augusta! It's downtown and the owner is here to educate, help and bring some greatness to the community! They've been here for three years. I am happy to see it booming!! I ordered the blueberry cleanse and the ricotta & spinach penne pasta! They have vegan and meat options! Everything tastes so YUMMY!! Very flavorful & light on the stomach. YOU guys &&& flavorful. Its cheaper and in my opinion better than tropical smoothie cafe. Now I LOVE tropical smoothie but Im sorry they won me over!! I found my fresh juice, smoothie, & food place!! Plenty of vegan options! && ALKALINE WAtER!!! PLUS!!! bONUS!! They have an app with loyalty rewards! Leeetttss gooooo!!!!! read more

Does look like much, and isn't in the most appealing area, but it's definitely worth a visit regardless. The smoothies were freshly made and delicious. The service was wonderful. We will for sure be back. read more

I will definitely add this spot into my vegetarian and smoothie spot rotation. Tim took the time to educate me on the importance of nutrition while making my MLK Blvd smoothie. The pineapple, mango, spinach, ginger, and apple juice married well! It was so good! I saw the crew making dinner and the vegetarian "meat" loaf is on my to try list for when I return. They highlight different vegetarian dishes daily (they also have meat, poultry and fish), so I'm sure I'll have to come a few times to try out everything. This spot is for sure worth a drive from Aiken. There isn't much space to eat in, so be prepared to take out if you have a large group. read more

We were in search of a juice bar or smoothie place other than tropical smoothie and found this spot. Although the location and exterior was off putting, the friendly faces and amount of customers inside reassured us. They have several small tables, 1 big table in the back, and they sell alkaline water. We ordered the vital shake, strawberry banana surprise, cool down, and the spinach and ricotta penne. They were all tasty and fresh. The food tasted clean, healthy, and wasn't bland. I loved my vital shake. It had the perfect amount of sweetness. I like their smoothies more than tropical smoothie. They are made with fresh ingredients and not prepackaged powders or frozen mixes. Will def be coming back here and highly recommend to anyone! I wish they had açaí bowls! read more

Fell in love with this wonderful place! Had the Vegan meatloaf, gnocchi, fresh veggies w/mango sauce. THEN an amazing Bean pie made by the owner Tim. Delish! Couldn't leave before trying one of his many fresh smoothie options. Tried the Skinny Honeyloupe smoothie, yum! Fresh cantaloupe, lemon sherbet, orange juice. Seating is limited but my new personal favorite stop. This place is a must do secret in South Augusta. Bean pie is legendary!! read more

Wow! I got the veggie meatloaf with baked potato, mixed beans, mixed veggies and the mixed berry smoothie. Everything was great! All the food had good seasoning, taste and portions. I got a large smoothie and it looked like one. Everything was priced well. The chef was very knowledgeable about the food, ingredients and it's health benefits. In Augusta a few times a year. I will be looking back at this review to make sure I'm back in the right place! read more

Nutritious Alternatives - Veggie meatloaf, mixed beans and mixed veggies! - Vegetarian Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Stopped by on my way from the airport. I was hungry, so I was skeptical that a smoothie would fill me up. I ordered the Vegetable "Meat" Loaf with cabbage and mixed vegetables. The meat loaf tastes great with the cabbage and the house gravy. There's a mango sauce they serve too, but I wouldn't put it on my loaf. The mixed vegetables were ok. The cabbage was good, but too much for one sitting. I'd order something different next time. Not because it wasn't good, but because it's a new spot to me and I want to try a different dish. I also ordered a Grapefruit & Carrot smoothie. It was ok, but I heard it's not a big seller. Next time, I'll get the MLK Blvd vegetable drink. I sampled that, it was good. read more

The staff were the best part. They welcomed us out of towners with open arms and cooked us up something fresh. Not to mention it was delicious!! read more

Please don't hesitate to try this hidden gem, I promise you will not regret. read more

If you're looking for good clean and healthy eating this is the place. Thank You Tim my tummy is doing well, everything was fresh, I'll see you soon for another Peach Paradise and to the young man who prepared my Panda Bowl thank you for a delicious meal read more

While the drive up was a little sketchy for my co-workers and I, the offerings were great and the service was amazing. Every worker was knowledgeable of the products and knew all the health benefits of each ingredient which was impressive. I ordered the tuna salad, which was just ok but overall filling. We also ordered the Turkey Wings which were delicious. Lastly, I ordered a smoothie, although the flavor was good, it was a tad too icy for my liking, meaning it had bits of crunchy ice. I would have liked it to be smoother. Otherwise, this was a great healthy alternative in Augusta. My co-workers and I have already been back a few times. read more

Stumbled upon this place while looking for a healthy breakfast option. Completely honest, the outside had me a bit suspicious, there wasn't much of a parking lot and it's tucked inside a neighborhood making it hard to find. The gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and helpful when it came to suggestions. I ended up ordering the strawberry and almond smoothie and it filled me up! All fresh ingredients with no filler makes a difference. I also tried a slice of vegan pie and it was pretty freaking tasty. Not at all what I expected when I heard "vegan". Definitely want to visit it again. read more

WoW! Shockingly delicious and a large portion for the price. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Straight up the best healthy food you are going to find in Augusta and most of the Southeastern US for that matter. The food is amazing, and such a good price for the portions you get. None of that hipster foodie nonsense here. Come here if you want your food as medicine and your medicine as food. Come here if you want your body to smile at you for the decisions you made today. Also as a bonus, the people there are real people, and will talk to you and share and learn and are not just staring at their phones because they forgot how to be a human. ps you should get off your phone now and go eat. read more

Nutritious Alternatives - Alkaline water and smoothies with the star employee! - Vegetarian Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Finally something fresh in Augusta! I was interested in trying this restaurant specifically because of the name and it lives up to expectations upon my first visit. The owner and his mother offer traditional food choices such as pancakes(which are the best I've had in Augusta) and grits, but also more "nutritious alternatives" such as salmon croquettes and turkey bacon. That's just the kitchen! The owner also has a smoothie station but with whole, fresh ingredients, and juice made RIGHT FROM HIS JUICER, in front of the customer! So when I say fresh, I truly mean FRESH! He also has several sugar alternatives like stevia, agave, and Splenda. I got the Beta Booster Smoothie and it was delicious. He is also very knowledgeable about preparation of whole raw ingredients to gain maximum benefits, along with knowledge of the history and use essential oils. I am very impressed and I will be visiting often. I loved everything about this place including service and the VERY reasonable pricing for such a fresh product. read more

This was my first time here and I'm kicking myself for not finding this place earlier. When I walked in, I was greeted very cordially by the staff and they proceeded to make me a from scratch breakfast to my liking. Since it was my first time here, the owner encouraged me to take a look around the eatery and gave me a rundown of the most popular vegetarian drinks and smoothies they offer. I ended up going with the "Island Mix" which went really well with the Salmon Croquette, scrambled cheese eggs, cheese grits and toast I had for breakfast. Everything was cooked very well and was not greasy and I could tell they used a lot of fresh ingredients for all of their meals and drinks. I would highly recommend anyone who needs or wants a good meal to try these guys out for not just vegetarian meals but for any type of meal, you definitely won't be sorry read more

Hadn't been here for a while, so I decided to stop after church for a smoothie and Sunday dinner. I tried the orange and date on the recommendation of the owner and was pleasantly surprised at the combination. I had protein added because I had not had breakfast that morning. For dinner, I decided on the turkey wing with collard greens and candied yam. The meal was delicious, and I am ready for my next smoothie. read more

After reading the reviews some co workers and I decided to check this place out! It is definitely not in the best part of town, but it's nice to see a local healthy place in that area. I ordered a tuna salad sandwich, and my friends got the chicken stir fry and black bean burger. Everything was fresh and homemade and was delicious! We all also ordered some smoothies which were very cheap compared to other places. They were good, but didn't have as much flavor as a normal smoothie because it had a lot of ice. Also, they have a very large menu for lunch, but that day were only making about 4 of the items so there wasn't much choice for what to order. Overall, the smoothies and food are worth a try if you're in the area, but know there aren't too many options for food. Although I will say the service was very good and everyone was quite friendly! read more

Tim, the owner loves what he does! Very informative on nutritious foods and healthy eating. Excellent smoothies and vegan dishes. They also have salmon and chicken dishes for those who aren't vegan or vegetarian. Oh and dont forget the bean pie....oh my gosh soooo good! We drove from NA to find this place and so very glad we did. Well worth the trip. We had to grab a smoothie to go, try the Skinny Honeyloupe. It was yummy!! Tim and his staff were extremely welcoming. This will be a repeat stop for us. read more

I was in town and looking for a place to get a smoothie and the fam decided to try Nutritious Alternatives after reviewing other Yelp reviews. I decided to get the Bannana Strawberry surprise smoothie. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they use all fresh fruits and no sugar is used.

Everyone was friendly and made my experience more enjoyable. When I visit Augusta again I will definently stop by and grab a smoothie and food. read more

I've been here twice now, and I love it. I'm not going to lie, the neighborhood is a bit of a turn off, but the smoothies and food are worth the trip. Today I had "Somewhere on a Beach." It was delicious. To eat I got the cubed steak with cabbage and pasta salad. It was great. I love that the smoothies are made to order and with fresh fruit right in front of you. The owner will let you try a sample of a smoothie if there is any left over. He also gives you samples of the fruit, which is so sweet. The food is made fresh daily on the premises. read more

Stop here for the first time, to get a healthy smoothie. I was able to sample the detox smoothie, which taste great but I ended up getting the blueberry smoothie. I also got the veggie burger on gluten free bread, with veggie toppings, the sandwich was amazing. Everyone was very patient and friendly, as I took my time looking at the different menus to place my order. Definitely, will be coming here, as these smoothies are healthier and better than your chain smoothie places. read more

Very special place. Preparing the food takes a long time but is worth it. Great service and the food is one of its kind.

I love the smoothies, juices, food, and most of all service here! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. I normally get some vegetable drinks like the sweet beet and a slice of the ginger loaf (during the holiday seasons). The best part I feel good about eating here because everything is made with natural ingredients. Everyone should check this place out ! read more

Used to be hallelujah. Went when I was younger for good soul food. When I went there I thought I was in the wrong place because they had an all vegetarian menu and an extensive juice and smoothie bar. It's very timely because I wanted to start eating better but was hampered by the lack of options near by because I don't cook often. They still have a lot of the classics from the old menu available. Including the stewed turkey necks and teriyaki chicken collared greens and macaroni & cheese read more

This is a family owned and operated restaurant located in downtown Augusta near the medical college. It highlights healthy food choices including delicious vegetarian dinners, smoothies, and vegetable shakes. However I went with a party of two for breakfast on a Friday morning. After calling the restaurant to in sure that the hours are listed were correct, we decided to give it a try. Well the place is small and unassuming from the outside; once you walk through the doorway, everything is personable, delicious, and authentic on the inside. There were some great options available for breakfast. This is a pork free establishment and that was perfect for us. We went for the salmon croquettes and turkey bacon, with grits and eggs. The seating was limited, but everyone made sure that we enjoyed our breakfast experience. The food was well seasoned and very filling for the price. We were also able to get some great information about essential oils and how to use them from the owner. Sadly, we were too full to try the tempting smoothie and vegetable shakes, but we will be back for lunch and the "meatless" meatloaf special that Ms. Gloria tempted us with! read more

Deliciousness abounds at this restaurant. Don't let the neighborhood keep you from experiencing its awesomeness. Very attentive waitresses, giving us more personalized service than I have ever experienced, other than at home. They mainly focus on vegetarian fare, but they do have a couple of meat dishes. I had a turkey wing, candied yams, collards, and dressing. I can't believe I ate the whole thing. I could not stop myself! My wife loves the panda bowl.
