My favorite healthy eat in NYC

this place is seriously not talked about enough! 💫

the quality and value at JUGOS is unmatched in nyc😍

and such high quality- sooo much better than chipotle or any other fast food chains (and their bowls end up being $12-13 anyways)🥗🍗

Just look at how large the portion sizes are- TWO whole filets of salmon, that at a trader joes is already $10. And it is seasoned and cooked to perfection. So tender and amazing.

For their chicken, you can pick different portion sizes of chicken + 2 sides. this whole plate was ONLY $16. please run don’t walk if you want to pack up protein, don’t want to cook, but want healthy and fresh meal.

ft.

- gramercy bowl + salmon - $18

- half chicken + side of sweet potatoes and grilled vegges - only $16!!

... Read moreAfter stumbling upon JUGOS in Gramercy, NYC, I honestly can't stop raving about it! If you're anything like me and constantly searching for genuinely healthy and delicious meal options that don't break the bank in New York, then this place is a game-changer. My personal go-to is the Gramercy Bowl with salmon. Seriously, two substantial fillets of perfectly seasoned and tender salmon for just $18? That's practically unheard of in this city, especially when you consider the quality. It's miles above what you'd get at typical fast-casual spots like Chipotle, where you often pay similar prices for much less nutritional value and freshness. But it's not just about the salmon. Their half chicken plate, at a mere $16, is another stellar choice for anyone looking to pack in protein without sacrificing flavor or freshness. You get to choose two generous sides, and I highly recommend their sweet potatoes and grilled veggies – they're cooked just right, not greasy or bland, and perfectly complement the succulent chicken. It's the kind of meal that leaves you feeling satisfied and energized, not heavy or guilty. I've even seen people customize their bowls extensively, showing the versatility of their offerings. Beyond the main dishes, don't miss their drinks. I tried the Cortado smoothie, and at $9, it was a refreshing and substantial drink, perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or a lighter meal. They also have a variety of other fresh juices and concoctions, which aligns well with the "JUGOS" (juices) name. The overall vibe is casual yet clean, making it a comfortable spot for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. What I love most about JUGOS is the consistent quality and incredible value. Every time I've visited, the food has been fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. It's become my reliable option when I don't want to cook but still crave a wholesome, chef-prepared meal. It easily outshines many other popular spots that charge more for less, truly living up to its reputation as a hidden gem among NYC restaurants. If you're exploring the Gramercy area or just looking for a fantastic healthy food find in NYC, JUGOS should definitely be on your list. It's a true go-to for delicious, nutritious, and affordable meals that genuinely satisfy, making it one of my top yummy food nyc discoveries. Next time you're thinking of grabbing a quick bite, give JUGOS a try – you won't be disappointed by their amazing portions and fresh ingredients!
