These aren't your usual fast food restaurants.

Dear Vital Juice,

I'm trying to eat healthier, but slow food doesn't exactly fit my crazy schedule. Know of any great to-go places with healthy options?

Thanks,

Dear FFF,

Absolutely! In two of LA's busiest shopping and business areas, we found hidden healthy gems catering to dieting diners on the run.

In the Hollywood havoc: On the sidelines of the Sunset Strip buzz, this organic eatery has gained popularity with local professionals trying to veer away from fatty catered office lunches, and with moms looking to sneak healthy meals into their kids' days.

Fancy in the food court: Hours of holiday shopping won't imprison you to a greasy, MSG-laden meal. This fresh spot is serving up hand-cut chips with homemade soups, and is nourishing famished shoppers at the Westside Pavilion.

Talk about fresh and easy.
