Operations Manager Andrew Kelley said Pure Healthy Eatery is an alternative to most conventional restaurants. He said the cafe, located on Research Forest Drive, makes everything fresh and that nothing is precooked. Menu items at Pure Healthy Eatery range from lentil soup to a grilled bison burger to a caprese salad.
Diners might expect nothing less from a restaurant that touts healthful foods in its name to offer a nutritious drink called The Green Monster.
Kelley said people order the smoothie-style drink because of its vibrant green appearance.
"What happens is they see all of the leafy stuff that's in the Green Monster, like the kale and broccoli, and all of that stuff is really good for you, and that's why people order it," he said.
The 16-ounce drink is made with spinach, celery, broccoli, parsley, cucumber, apple and kale, and costs $6.50. Kelley said the drink is ordered 30 to 35 times each day.
