When we arrived, we were the only customers there. I guess this isn't the hoppin' Mother's Day spot. It's kind of in a funky area, but the building also has a Hot Yoga studio, a salon, and a few other businesses, so those customers must keep them going. The counter guy seemed kind of annoyed that we were there, but he did get our orders correct and the food came out pretty quickly.
Kyle and I both had the Spicy Thai Wrap, mine with rice paper and his with collard greens. I asked for no jalapenos on mine, and I'm so glad I did!
The kids both had smoothies. Since Esther can't read, I ordered her a green smoothie with oranges, mangos, spinach, and I can't remember what else. Isaac saw the menu and any smoothies that had spinach or kale were quickly rejected, so he chose one with berries, bananas, oranges, and some protein powder (it had whey in it, which is a dairy product, so Esther couldn't have had it anyway.)
They both sucked them down! When Esther saw the green, she was a little traumatized...but as soon as she took a sip, she said yummm.
Overall, the food at Fresh Mama was good and definitely healthy, but I felt it was a little overpriced. The smoothies were $7.99 each. I believe the wraps were about the same price. The reason I feel that's a bit much for a wrap is that it was just basically salad...there wasn't any protein or spread like hummus or anything like that. This place is literally across the street from Isaac's school (and I never noticed) so it would be a nice little after school date spot to grab a smoothie.
This morning, Esther made this "snack" for Kyle. My friend at Redeeming Nutrition would be proud.
