Mixt Greens, located in Wildwood Shopping Center, provides a healthy, fun, eco-friendly approach to salads. Similar to Sweet Green in Bethesda, Mixt Greens specializes in salads personalized for each customer.

The atmosphere is extremely fresh and earthy. The floors, walls and tables are all made of wood while the decorations are simple but colorful.

The menu offers fixed salad options ranging from classics, such as Caesar salad, to unique options such as the Siam, which includes jicama, mango and spiced peanuts. The menu is perfect because it has options for all tastebuds. Instead of offering just salads, they also have delicious soups and sandwiches.

Unlike Sweet Green in Bethesda, Mixt Greens has more options, especially when it comes to adding meats. Grilled chicken, grilled prime flat iron steak and coriander spiced ahi tuna are just a few of the protein-packed add-ons available.

Besides having amazing tasting food, Mixt Greens is “eco-gourmet.” According to the Mixt Greens official website, they keep over 90 percent of their waste products from going to landfills, use eco-friendly cleaning products, and make sure that all of their packaging is biodegradable and compostable. In addition, they use local organic ingredients and all natural, hormone-free meats.

In a make-your-own salad, there are hundreds of combinations, and the meat is fresh and grilled to order. Ordering is an assembly line fashion, service is quick, and the workers are extremely friendly.

There are many options, so there is always something new to try and it never gets boring. If you are in the mood to make your meal the way you want it, and feel good while doing it, this is the place to go.
