We were able to sample a few items off of the menu. We ordered the Cuban bowl and Mediterranean bowl and from a true Texan I was pleasantly surprised. The Cuban was filled to the brim with flavor. Based with quinoa, black beans, mango chunks, onions, and jackfruit carnitas this bowl was EVERYTHING! Not only did it pack a kick but there were so many layers of flavor.  The Mediterranean bowl had your typical quinoa, beans, tomato, onion and a creamy yogurt sauce on top. We and so tried the protein mixes, super filling and great for those on-the-go!

 

"We are trying to bring something new to the area and get rid of the stereotype that comes with Superfood," explains Haut. "Harvest Bar is flavorful and also very filling. We want people to give us a try, I guarantee you will like it."
