The three Cs: carrot, celery and cucumber, were actually a hit with our skeptical teenager. Revitalized by the prospect that adequate intakes of wheatgrass and other juices could prepare me for my next bout with the scale, we brought home several of the blended juices, which can be ordered by the pint.
Ham and Swiss on rye ($3.50), crab salad ($3.95), tuna salad ($2.50), fresh fruit plate and garden chef salads (each $3.95) round out the modest bill of fare. Each sandwich is served with a fruit kabob. A larger club sandwich ($4.25) had layers of ham, turkey, Swiss and cheddar, tomato slices, sprouts and mushrooms, served on pumpernickel. The three-cheese veggie ($3.25) includes thin slices of Swiss, cheddar and provolone with avocado, sprouts, cucumber, fresh sliced mushrooms and radishes. The slightly sweet sourdough was our choice. The turkey and avocado ($3.75) came with processed turkey breast, slices of avocado, provolone cheese, sprouts on a variety of Granite Bakery breads. While a half sandwich and small cup of soup seemed a bit pricy at $3.25, considering the soup's size, the custom-made sandwiches we tried were good. is dedicated to juicers and extractors and serving a multitude of freshly made juices, there are also sandwiches, soups and salads served on the premises at small tables along the front. Other specialties include the sprightly Ginger Hopper, with carrot, apple, ginger and wheatgrass and Spirulinadena, apple, lemon or lime, banana, yogurt and spirulina, an ingredient we were told would give us "pep." Each of these 16-ounce freshly made juice drinks cost $3.Other fruit-drink specialties, without the added shot of "legal" grass, for those less certain about drinking something that tastes just a little bit like your lawn, include citrus, pineapple, melons and berry combinations along with yogurt, priced at $2.75. The Pappa Hopper is just one of "Nature's nectars" on the menu at Juice Etc., a small, clean, storefront eatery in a Sugar House neighborhood.
And the drink was really quite flavorful! The lengthy handout buoyed my sagging spirit and waistline. The list of 40 things titled "What's so great about wheatgrass juice?" claimed that the last item was a chlorophyl-rich ingredient that could cure just about any malady, from high blood pressure to acne. I didn't quite feel so guilty about postponing my scheduled doctor's appointment for a weigh-in as I sipped the Pappa Hopper concoction, an intriguing and tasty combination of apple, banana, ginger and wheatgrass juices.
