It’s like our very own Chipotle, it’s Chop’d (Ig:@chopdja)!
We finally got another Healthy, Fast-Food option that we need! Centrally located in Loshusan, Barbican, you can do a quick pick up or sit down to have a bite and take a break from your busy day.
I’ve been during and after the busy lunch hour. I’m happy to say that their team is working faster and you get your options in good time. There are soooo many options!
Ideally you should get a quick breakdown according to your fave, but until then, you can do your own. What are you feeling for? What do you prefer? Salad, Bowl, Sandwich or Wrap? Then take it from there! First timers can take a glance at the Menu board for full descriptions, then grab a card to tick off your order. Remember you are NOT at Dim Sum, it adds up!
Suga has been loving Bowls recently. The Baja Bowl (J$1900) is my fave so far with a Grain blend base, cilantro lime cream, black beans, corn, pickled pineapple, sweet peppers, fresh tomato salsa, cilantro & avocado when in available/in season OR you are free to choose chopped apples etc. Loveeee that you can add hard boiled Egg (J$200/$380) & the other Protein Add-Ons are pretty good too such as Chop’d Herb Chicken (J$450/$855), Flaked Salmon (J$650/$1235) or Beef Filet ($750/$1425)…2-oz is still fulfilling.
Sandwich person? Chicken Salad Sammy with Cran-Apple Pecan (J$1700).
Wraps your thing? The Honey Mustard Salmon BLT (J$2100) is flavourful & fantastic.
Of course there are Salad Lovers here…so many options, you can build your own (J$1450 w/ 4 essentials + your Add ons). Conservatively, it can take you J$2500 without meat & J$3000 with meat.
Top things off with refreshing Iced Tea laced with the berry & flavour of choice for the day.
Great Food Quality. Love the Transparency of the Prep Process and to see that everything is kept as fresh as possible.
Having guests over and need to grab some tasty Bites, dips, sauces, Charcuterie options, Chocolate + a side of bubbly, you name it, they got it. They have the cutest market products. Most importantly, supporting Brand Jamaica too.
Even if it’s not your Economical Everyday Stop, treat yourself at Chop’d!
Have a Healthy Day!
Love to Shop Local? Save the Date!Saturday, MAY 3!

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Now remember I may be many things including a Fitness expert, but I am a Radiographer first, that still performs Mammograms and I will share a quick story.
I have a cousin who called me years ago very concerned about a lump in her left breast that she felt when she was drying off, coming out of the shower. Her Mom died from Breast Cancer, so there’s a family history. I told her doing a Mammogram as soon as possible was the first step. She did it, read me the report and before doing the suggested biopsy I told her to prepare herself, because based on how the lump was described with irregular, asymmetric, undefined edges etc., it was likely to be cancer. I also told her she had to adjust her lifestyle IMMEDIATELY. No Alcohol, No Meats, No sugars and she complied, going Vegetarian as Breast Cancer was confirmed with the biopsy and her journey to beating Breast Cancer began, which she did well. She was almost 50 at the time and after her Mastectomy, removing the left breast, she came out in high spirits, telling jokes, hardly in any pain… Even later down the road serving her friends breakfast SHE cooked after Chemo. Her roommate though, when she did the Mastectomy, was much younger for the same surgery, probably in her thirties. Her family brought her fast food before the surgery and she said that was her regular diet. Made her happy. After the surgery she was in excruciating pain and crying for hours. We said to ourselves, wow, diet must have had a significant impact.
Here are Foods to Have and Foods to Avoid:
Foods to Have: Citrus fruits, berries, grapes Leafy green vegetables such as kale, arugula, spinach; other vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, and broccoli Fatty fish like Salmon Fermented foods like Yogurt, Kimchi Beans Herbs and spices e.g. oregano Whole grains and walnuts
Foods to Avoid: Fast food Alcohol Fried foods Processed meats Added sugars Refined carbs
I will leave you to keep in mind that many factors are associated with Breast Cancer development. So while improving your diet can improve your overall health and reduce your cancer risk and pain during recovery, it is only one piece of the puzzle.
You still need to do annual Breast Cancer screenings like Mammograms and your manual checks, standing AND laying down. Early Detection Saves Lives.
