Organic/Super foods in Playa

Hi, I'm in town for the first time in a long time and I'm wondering where I might find some really good, healthy, organic foods and super foods around Playa. So far the best I've found is 100% Natural on 5th. I know there's more out there. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I'm curious about Green Box at 5th and 38th. They have wheatgrass. However, I don't know if it is juiced right at serving. If it isn't, it isn't worth drinking.

Dac has a great selection of natural foods for you pantry shelf. I have also bought organic honey at a small shop on Calle 4 between Ave 10 and Ave 15, north side. The fruit markets on Calle 4 have great stuff as does Marisia's on Ave 30 between Calle 2 and Sur 1 I think.

At the Green Box, everything is juiced when you order.

Today on my walkabout I came across a organics products/food store on calle 40 between AV. 5 & 10. Called Bio-Naturals. It was closed so maybe someone else can check in out as I head out of town Tuesday.
