Fruitive is a healthy restaurant located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It’s the perfect choice pre/post beach due to its’ convenient location just a few miles from the boardwalk. They offer an enticing menu full of healthy items such as juice drinks, salads, wraps, berry bowls, and liquid meals. Health nuts will definitely love this cafe.
A smoothie or juice drink is the perfect way to rehydrate after a hot workout in the sun. We thought this was the perfect stop after taking a long bike ride and walk on the beach. The interior of the restaurant is nothing fancy and the prices are a bit on the high side, but the food was fresh and filling. Nothing better than a nice healthy meal following a long morning of exercise! As a fitness buff and healthy eater, I loved that I could eat something fresh after a long day exploring in the hot sun.
Mike decided to go with one of the liquid meals. The F.I.T drink was a delicious combination of almond milk, wild blueberries, bananas, and peanut butter. The protein and carbs combo made for a great recovery drink after a lengthy workout. I decided to go with the Southwest Romaine Wrap, which was a tasty combination of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cumbers, peppers, red onion, wild rice, hummus, avocado, spices and some type of mild dressing. It was the perfect serving size to fill me up without over stuffing myself.
Fruitive may not come to your mind first when you are a tourist in the area as it is located off the boardwalk. However, I recommend stopping in if you are looking for a small, healthy lunch or snack after exercising on the boardwalk. You won’t be disappointed!

Take a ride along the Virginia Beach boardwalk. This scenic 3 mile path is separated into a separate bike and walking path. You can take in scenic vistas while also burning some calories via a refreshing bike ride or walk. I really love the views; I would be jogging or biking on this path everyday if I lived closer.
