Greens, Beans & Grains

A mainstay in my house for healthy eating is lentils, millet, and greens — packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins. Looks like Whole Foods likes this way of eating too, with the new Greens, Beans, and Grains inside the (slightly overwhelming) new Pearl Street location.
The only pain about that meal was taking the time to soak the beans and cook them up proper — so imagine my delight to find a takeout spot who will do it for me! Last time, I got: Steamed Kale, Red Lentils, Black Rice. The time before, I got Lau Lau, Adzuki, and Quinoa. Top this with a light splash of miso (or another heavier sauce, but I reckon that downgrades your healthy points!), and your selections from the rotating raw bar (carrots, sprouts, pickled daikon, snap peas, etc.) and voila, you have an amazing, vital meal in less than 5 minutes (okay, okay, not counting parking, but if you rode your bike, you’re set).
What kicks it over into 5 star territory though? The cost of this culinary yumminess? $ 5. Yes, I am serious. $ 5! Whole Paycheck, I think not. Score!
