... Read moreIf you find yourself missing the fresh, flavorful CAVA bowls at USC Village during winter break, you're not alone. Many students and fans from the University of Southern California cherish these meals, especially when returning home or away from campus. CAVA is well-known for its customizable Mediterranean-inspired bowls, which combine healthy ingredients like hummus, falafel, fresh vegetables, grains, and savory proteins to create a satisfying meal. During winter break, it can be difficult to access the same quality and variety of food you enjoy on campus, but thankfully, you can now explore CAVA’s menu through their online #cavaorder service. This option allows students and USC community members to pre-order their favorite dishes and have them ready for pickup or delivery, which is ideal during busy holiday seasons. For USC students and alumni who identify as #usctrojans, CAVA at USC Village serves as more than just a meal option; it’s a hub for community and camaraderie. The vibrant atmosphere during the academic term at this location invites students to enjoy quick yet nutritious meals between classes or while socializing with friends. To recreate that crave-worthy experience over winter break, consider visiting a nearby CAVA location or trying to build your own bowl at home inspired by CAVA’s flavors. Think tangy tzatziki, preserved lemon, and spicy harissa combined with fresh greens and grains—perfect for a quick meal that keeps you energized. Remember, whether you're physically at USC or away during the break, staying connected by sharing your favorite CAVA moments on social media using hashtags like #usc and #universityofsoutherncalifornia can help keep that Trojan spirit alive. Winter break is the perfect time to plan a visit to USC Village or gather with your friends to enjoy this community favorite once you’re back on campus.

CAVA… but Aldi edition
I spend money on Cava at least once a week. Sometimes twice. And with the money I spend DoorDashing Cava every week, I could just do an Aldi order to recreate my Cava order at home. And it's quick! #cava #aldifinds #mealprep #aldirecipe #bowlmeals

Super easy recipe for CAVA pita chips. My obsession! I’ve heard they only use salt and pepper to season them but I prefer my way, with the Trader Joe’s aglio olió seasoning blend. 1. Cut pita bread in triangles 2. Fry in hot vegetable oil. This is quick! You don’t want them super crispy. They

these are super easy and convenient if you live far from Cava like i do🥲 $34.27 for all ingredients and most all of it you don’t have to repurchase. 1 sirloin makes me about 3 bowls and 1 cava order is usually $20. It tastes just as good and i’m obsessed!!
