In 2005, Leslie and David were coming back from Lake Tahoe when a conversation about the lack of delicious, healthy, high-quality casual restaurants spurred a big idea. They wondered, was it possible to marry good, healthy food and good, healthy business practices to create a new category of fast-casual dining? From there…MIXT was born.
“To me, great food is food that tastes delicious, makes you feel good, and gives you the energy and nutrients necessary to be healthy. Our goal at MIXT is to help as many people as possible eat better.”

A salad is more than just a bunch of ingredients tossed together. Each of our signature salads is meticulously chef-crafted. We spend weeks (sometimes months!) perfecting our salads, not just because we want them to taste great and highlight the season’s best flavors, but because they should be well-balanced nutrient-rich meals that bring a smile to your face. And even though we lovingly labor over our salads, grain bowls, and market plates, we also make it easy for you to do your own thing. Step up to the counter and let your senses guide you to a Design Your Own (DYO) meal that tastes great, feels even better, and reflects your personal tastes and style!

From sprout to plate, we obsess the details to bring better eating to everyone.
What matters most to us is creating delicious meals that support healthy lifestyles. That means a MIXT meal of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fats, and proteins—all of which you should be able to say and spell. We believe in serving whole, honest, pure foods that make you feel good.
We hold ourselves to a higher standard. We serve the best available products, only sourcing from farms and purveyors we trust. That means pesticides, chemicals, and GMO's stay out of our recipes, so we can focus on the good stuff and believe that comes through in every meal we create.
We want people to find purpose at our company, so we promote from within and nurture our team members to be their best and grow professionally. We also believe that great ideas and friendships are formed around a delicious meal, that’s why we provide MIXT meals for our team members every day.
We know what we eat impacts the earth as much as ourselves, so sustainability is at the core of everything we touch, make and do— even if it negatively impacts our bottom line. We’re not just dedicated to being “green,” we’re passionate about protecting the natural systems that sustain us— a philosophy we hope is shared with our customers.
