         Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) of Regulation 13D-G of the Rules and
Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, the undersigned hereby
amends its Schedule 13D dated September 23, 1996, relating to the Common Stock
("Common Stock") of Fresh Choice, Inc.("Issuer"):

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

         No material change.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         Item 2 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

         This statement is being filed by Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("Crescent").  Crescent is a
Delaware limited partnership.  The address of Crescent's executive offices is
777 Main Street, Suite 2100, Fort Worth, Texas 76102.  Crescent is the
operating partnership of Crescent Real Estate Equities Company, a Texas real
estate investment trust ("CEI").

         CEI is a Texas real estate investment trust.   The address of CEI's
principal executive offices is 777 Main Street, Suite 2100, Fort Worth, Texas
76102.  CEI is a fully integrated real estate company operated as a real estate
investment trust which owns a portfolio of real estate assets located primarily
in metropolitan submarkets in Texas and Colorado.  CEI owns its assets and
carries on its operations and other activities directly through Crescent and
its subsidiaries.  Except as set forth in the following proviso, the
information regarding the executive officers, trust managers and controlling
persons of CEI is set forth under the captions "Proposal No. 1 Election of
Trust Managers - Board of Trust Managers," "Proposal No. 1 Election of Trust
Managers - Trust Managers and Executive Officers," and "Voting Securities and
Principal Shareholders" in the Proxy Statement for Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of CEI held on June 9, 1997 and is incorporated by reference
herein; provided, that that material is supplemented by Exhibit 8 to this
Amendment.

         The sole general partner of Crescent is Crescent Real Estate Equities,
Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the "Crescent GP").  Crescent GP is a wholly
owned subsidiary of CEI.  Gerald W. Haddock, the President and Chief Executive
Officer of CEI, is the sole director of Crescent GP.  Except as set forth in
the following proviso, information regarding the executive officers of Crescent
GP is set forth under the caption "Proposal No. 1 Election of Trust Managers -
Trust Managers and Executive Officers" in the Proxy Statement for Annual
Meeting of Shareholders of CEI held on June 9, 1997 and is incorporated by
reference herein; provided, that that material is supplemented by Exhibit 8 to
this Amendment.

         Crescent has not, nor have any of the executive officers, directors or
controlling persons of Crescent or any of the executive officers, directors or
controlling persons of such controlling persons, during the last five years,
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws.

         Each natural person identified in this Item 2 is a citizen of the
United States of America.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         Item 3 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

         As more fully described herein, Crescent acquired for $100 cash an
option to purchase 496,400 shares of Issuer's Common Stock.  The source of such
funds was Crescent's working capital.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         Item 4 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

         Reference is made to Item 6 for information concerning a stock option
on 496,400 shares of Common Stock acquired by Crescent from Richard E.
Rainwater and for information about the partial assignment by Crescent to
Rainwater, Inc. of Crescent's option to purchase shares of Series C Stock from
Issuer.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         Item 5 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

         (a)     The Series B Stock acquired by Crescent from Issuer on
September 13, 1996, and owned by Crescent is convertible into Common Stock of
the Issuer on a one-for-one basis; accordingly, Crescent is the beneficial
owner of 1,187,906 shares of the Common Stock which may be acquired upon
conversion of 1,187,906 shares of Series B Stock.

         In addition, the Issuer granted Crescent on September 13, 1996, a
three-year option to purchase up to 593,953 shares of Series C Non-Voting
Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Stock") at an exercise
price of $6.00 per share.  As more fully described in Item 6, Crescent on
August 11, 1997, partially assigned its interest in such option to Rainwater,
Inc. in consideration of services rendered; consequently Crescent now owns an
Option to acquire 513,953 shares of Series C Stock (the "Series C Stock
Option"). The Series C Stock Option is immediately exercisable.  If the Series
C Stock Option were exercised, the shares of the Series C Stock received would
be immediately convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.
Accordingly, Crescent is the beneficial owner of 513,953 shares of the Common
Stock which may be acquired upon conversion of 513,953 shares of Series C Stock
that may be acquired upon exercise of the Series C Stock Option.

         And, by virtue of the currently exercisable stock option acquired from
Richard Rainwater August 11, 1997, and more fully described in Item 6, Crescent
is the beneficial owner of 496,400 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired
upon exercise of such option.

         (The shares of the Series B Non-Voting Participating Convertible
Preferred Stock are also convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of the
Issuer's Series A Voting Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, which are
convertible into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.  The exercise
of such conversion rights would not result in Crescent's beneficially owning
any additional shares of Common Stock.)

         Based upon the foregoing, Crescent beneficially owns an aggregate of
2,198,259 shares of the Common Stock, all of which underlie options or
convertible securities.  Assuming pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) that
6,165,025 shares of Common Stock are outstanding, Crescent is the beneficial
owner of approximately 35.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

         (b)     Crescent has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to
1,187,906 shares of Common Stock underlying an identical number of shares of
Series B Stock and 513,953 shares of Common Stock underlying an identical
number of shares of Series C Stock underlying the Series C Stock Option.
Unless and until Crescent purchases the 496,400 shares of Common Stock
underlying the option acquired from Mr. Rainwater, Crescent has no power to
vote or to dispose of such shares: the power to vote and the power to dispose
of such shares is expressly reserved to Richard Rainwater under the terms of
the Rainwater Option.

         As provided in the respective Certificate of Designation for the
Series B Stock and the Series C Stock, the shares of the Series B Stock may not
be converted into either shares of Series A Stock or Common Stock, and the
shares of the Series C Stock that Crescent may acquire upon exercise of the
Option may not be converted into shares of Common Stock, in each case, to the
extent that immediately after any such conversion CEI would be treated as
owning more than 10 percent of the outstanding voting securities of the Issuer
for purposes of Section 856(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.  Any exercise or purported exercise of such conversion rights in
violation of these restrictions would be void ab initio.

         (c)     During the past 60 days preceding this Amendment No. 1,
Crescent has not effected any transactions in Common Stock except as described
in Item 6.

         (d)     No person other than Crescent has the right to receive or to
direct the receipt of dividends from,or proceeds from the sale of, the shares
reported in this Schedule 13D, except for the 496,400 shares of Common Stock
which Crescent has the right to acquire from Richard Rainwater under the
above-referenced option.  With respect to such 496,400 shares of Common Stock,
Crescent has no right to dividends on such shares unless and until Crescent
purchases such shares following exercise of such option; as more fully
described in Item 6, Crescent has the right to receive a portion of proceeds
from the sale of such shares by Mr. Rainwater.

         (e)     It is inapplicable for the purposes herein to state the date
on which Crescent ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent
(5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         Item 6 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

         The summary set forth below of certain transactions and agreements
does not purport to be a complete description of, and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to, the provisions of various agreements and documents
attached as Exhibits to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference
for all purposes.

         As previously disclosed in CEI's proxy statements for its 1996 and
1997 Annual Meetings of Shareholders, Crescent, in connection with its
agreement to purchase the Series B Stock and the Series C Stock Option from
Issuer, anticipating acquiring the Option (as defined below) from Mr. Rainwater
and granting Rainwater, Inc. a partial assignment (to the extent of 80,000
shares) of the Series C Stock Option.  Instruments effecting such transactions
were finalized, executed and delivered August 11, 1997, as more particularly
described below.

         On August 11, 1997, Crescent entered into a Call Option Agreement (the
"Option Agreement") with Richard E.  Rainwater whereby Mr. Rainwater granted to
Crescent an option (the "Option"), exercisable at any time through September
12, 2006, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the  496,400 shares of
Common Stock owned by Mr. Rainwater(the "Shares") at Mr. Rainwater's investment
cost in the Shares ($3,645,191, plus incidental expenses, plus Mr. Rainwater's
cost of funds).  During the pendency of the Option, Mr. Rainwater retains sole
beneficial ownership of the Shares (i.  e., exclusive power to vote, hold,
sell, pledge or otherwise  dispose of the Shares) unless and until the Shares
are sold.  Prior to selling any of the Shares, Mr. Rainwater must give Crescent
notice of his intention to sell so that Crescent may exercise the Option; if
Crescent fails to exercise the Option within two business days, Mr. Rainwater
may sell those Shares but must remit to Crescent the cash proceeds from the
sale, net of his investment cost in the Shares sold.

         Also on August 11, Crescent entered into an Agreement of Assignment
with Mr. Rainwater's wholly owned corporation, Rainwater, Inc. ("RI"), whereby
Crescent partially assigned (to the extent of 80,000 shares) to RI its Series C
Stock Option.  To Crescent's knowledge and belief, RI thereupon further
assigned its interest in such Series C Stock Option to two individuals
associated with RI.

                             CALL OPTION AGREEMENT

         This Call Option Agreement ("Agreement") is made the 11th day of
August, 1997 (the "Effective Date"), by and between Richard E. Rainwater
("RER") and Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership, a Delaware
limited partnership ("Crescent").

                                    RECITALS

         A.      RER on the date of this Agreement owns beneficially and of
record 496,400 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock of Fresh Choice, Inc.
("Issuer").

         B.      RER acquired the Shares through open market purchases at an
aggregate purchase price of $3,645,191 (the "Original Cost") and a per share
average purchase price of slightly more than $7.34. Substantially all of the
Shares were purchased by RER prior to April 29, 1995.

         C.      On September 13, 1996, (i) Crescent purchased from Issuer
1,187,906 shares of the Issuer's Series B Non-Voting Participating Convertible
Preferred Stock and (ii) Issuer granted Crescent a three year option to
purchase up to 593,953 shares of Series C Non-Voting Participating Convertible
Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $6 per share.

         D.      Crescent has asked RER to grant it an option to purchase all
of the Shares at RER's investment cost in the Shares (including all incidental
expenses incurred in connection with acquisition and holding of the Shares and
granting the option pursuant to this Agreement). RER is willing to grant
Crescent an option to purchase the Shares in consideration of and subject to
Crescent's payment of a modest cash consideration upon execution of this
Agreement if RER retains the right to otherwise sell the Shares, free and clear
of the option, and thereby recover his investment cost in the Shares. Crescent
is willing that RER have the right to sell the Shares to third persons or in
open market sales so that he can recover his investment in the Shares so long
as Crescent retains the economic benefit of appreciation in the value of the
Shares above the exercise price.

         F.      Neither the grant of the Option nor anything else in this
Agreement will affect RER's beneficial ownership of the Shares except as
explicitly provided in this Agreement and, unless and until Crescent purchases
the Shares from RER pursuant to the exercise of the option, RER will continue
to have sole power to vote and to dispose of the Shares, to the exclusion of
Crescent; nor will anything contained in this Agreement constitute an agreement
or promise by or bind the parties to act together with respect to acquiring,
holding or disposing of the Shares or any other securities of Issuer.

         Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, and in consideration of the payment by
Crescent to RER of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:





                                       1
<PAGE>   9
         1.      Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions herein
set forth, RER hereby grants to Crescent an option (the "Option") to purchase,
at any time from and after the Effective Date and not later than the Expiration
Date (as defined below), all but not less than all of the Shares owned on the
Exercise Date (as defined below) by RER (the "Option Shares"). In consideration
for the grant of the Option, Crescent has paid to RER the sum of $100.

         2.      RER's Retention of Investment Power; Consequences of Sales
Outside Option.

                 (a) The Option will not attach to, encumber or restrict the
         transferability of any of the Shares. RER will continue to have the
         right to hold, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any or all of the
         Shares or any interests therein at his discretion, subject only to
         compliance with the terms of Paragraph 2(b). Any Shares sold by RER
         shall be transferred free and clear of the Option and any claim made
         under this Agreement by Crescent.

                 (b) Unless Crescent shall have previously exercised the
         Option, RER agrees that whenever during the Option Period he makes a
         decision to sell any of the Shares then, at least three business days
         prior to effecting such sale, he will give Crescent oral or written
         notice (a "Sale Notice") of his intention to sell, identifying in the
         Sale Notice the approximate number of Option Shares he intends to sell
         (which may be stated as a range with minimum and maximum numbers) and
         the intended or estimated date or dates of sale. If Crescent, not
         later than 5 p. m. Fort Worth, Texas time on the second business day
         immediately following the Sale Notice Date (the "Exercise Deadline"),
         exercises the Option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
         then RER shall become obligated to sell the Option Shares to Crescent
         pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and Crescent shall become
         obligated to purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the terms of this
         Agreement. If Crescent does not exercise the Option prior to the
         Exercise Deadline, then RER may (but will not be obligated to) sell
         the number of Shares set forth in the Sale Notice on or about the date
         or dates of sale set forth in the Sale Notice.

                 (c) Except for the sale of Option Shares to Crescent pursuant
         to its exercise of the Option, whenever during the Option Period RER
         sells Shares he shall promptly pay over to Crescent the Net Gain
         Proceeds actually received by him from such sale. "Net Gain Proceeds"
         from any sale will mean the excess, if any, of (i) cash proceeds
         actually received by RER from that sale over (ii) an amount calculated
         by multiplying the Exercise Price (as then in effect in accordance
         with Paragraph 3) times a fraction, the denominator of which is
         496,400 and the numerator of which is the number of Shares disposed of
         in that sale.

         3.      Exercise Price.

                 (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 3(b), the
         exercise price ("Exercise Price") for the Option is the sum of: (i)
         the Original Cost plus (ii) the aggregate out of pocket expenses
         (other than the Original Cost) incurred by RER through such date in
         connection with the acquisition and holding of the Shares, including
         but not limited to the granting of





                                       2
<PAGE>   10
         the Option plus (iii) an amount sufficient to reimburse RER for his
         cost of funds on his investment in the Shares (notwithstanding
         anything else herein, that amount of such reimbursement shall be
         calculated as the interest which would accrue upon the amounts listed
         in (i) and (ii) from April 28, 1995 through the Closing Date at the
         rate of one-year LIBOR (as it fluctuates from time to time during that
         period as reported in the Wall Street Journal), plus 50 basis points,
         with interest compounded annually.

                 (b) If and whenever RER sells any of the Shares otherwise than
         pursuant to the exercise of the Option, then the Exercise Price
         applicable to the remaining Shares owned by RER (the "Remaining
         Shares") shall be proportionately adjusted downward as follows: the
         Exercise Price shall be calculated in the manner prescribed in
         Paragraph 2(a) except that the term "Original Cost" will mean the
         product realized by multiplying $3,645,191 times a fraction, the
         denominator of which is 496,400 and the numerator of which is the
         number of the Remaining Shares.

         4.      Term; Expiration of Option. The Option will be exercisable, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, at any time from and after the
Effective Date through September 12, 2006 (the "Expiration Date"). The period
from the Effective Date through the Expiration Date is called the "Option
Period." The Option shall expire if not exercised by 5 p.m., Fort Worth, Texas
time, on the Expiration Date.

         5.      Manner of Exercise; Closing Date Defined.

                 (a) Crescent may exercise the Option at any time, in whole but
         not in part, during the Option Period only by complying with the terms
         of this Paragraph 5. To exercise the Option, Crescent shall deliver to
         RER written notice of such exercise; the Option shall not be deemed
         exercised until such notice is actually received by RER (the date on
         which such notice is actually received is called the "Exercise Date").
         Thereafter at a place, at a time and on a date mutually agreed upon by
         Crescent and RER (which shall not be later than ten business days from
         the date on which RER receives notice of the exercise of the Option),
         (a) RER shall deliver to Crescent certificates representing the Option
         Shares duly indorsed (with signature guaranteed) and in otherwise
         proper form for transfer (but without express or implied warranties of
         any kind whatsoever) and (b) Crescent shall simultaneously deliver to
         RER the Exercise Price in immediately available cash funds by wire
         transfer to such account or accounts as specified by RER.

                 (b) The date or respective dates on which RER sells Shares
         (whether pursuant to Paragraph 5(a) following exercise of the Option,
         or otherwise) are each a "Closing Date."


         6.      No Other Agreements; Exculpation. It is not the intention of
the parties to this Agreement to create by virtue of this Agreement any trust,
partnership, joint venture, agency or any similar relationship between them; or
any fiduciary relationship between them; or any agreement





                                       3
<PAGE>   11
between them to act together with respect to the holding or disposition of any
of the Shares. Nothing in this Agreement will alter or affect RER's sole and
exclusive power to vote and sole and exclusive power to dispose of the Shares.
In addition to but not by way of limiting the foregoing, RER will have no duty
to Crescent to sell or to attempt to sell any of the Shares to third persons or
on the open market in order to realize a gain or to avoid a loss.

         7.      Adjustments. Any change in the nature or amount of any Shares
by reason of any stock dividend, split-up, reclassification, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation or reorganization shall not affect the Exercise Price,
but thereafter "Shares" as used herein shall mean the Shares as changed in
nature or amount.

         8.      Further Assurances. Crescent and RER each agrees to execute
and deliver such other instruments and take such other actions as may be
reasonably requested by the other party following exercise of the Option in
order to effectuate the sale and purchase of and transfer of title to the Option
Shares as hereby contemplated in accordance with applicable laws and otherwise 
to effectuate the intents and purposes of this Agreement; however, neither party
shall be required in complying with this Paragraph 8 to expend any funds, incur
any monetary obligations, or assume any legal risks which such party considers 
significant or burdensome.

         9.      Notices. All notices and communications which are required or
permitted hereunder shall be delivered personally, by same day or overnight
courier, or by facsimile transmission, as follows:

                            AGREEMENT OF ASSIGNMENT

     This Agreement of Assignment (this "Agreement") is dated as of August 11,
1997, and is being entered by and between Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("Crescent"), and Rainwater, Inc.,
a Texas corporation ("RI"), with reference to the following recitals:

                                    RECITALS

     Pursuant to that certain Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Fresh
Choice Agreement") by and between Crescent and Fresh Choice, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Fresh Choice"), dated as of April 26, 1996, Fresh Choice granted
to Crescent an irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase up to 593,953
shares (collectively, the "Shares") of the Preferred Stock, Series C
Participating Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred
Stock"), of Fresh Choice for a purchase price of $6.00 per share.

     Section 9.9 of the Fresh Choice Agreement provides that Crescent may
assign the Option, in whole or in part.

     Crescent desires to assign a part of the Option to RI in consideration for
services performed by RI.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     SECTION 1.  ASSIGNMENT OF OPTION. In consideration for services provided
to Crescent by RI, and based upon the representations and warranties of RI
contained herein, Crescent hereby assigns to RI all of Crescent's right, title
and interest in and under the Option to purchase 80,000 shares (such shares,
together with any additional shares as may become subject of the Option
pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the Fresh Choice Agreement, the "RI
Option Shares") of the Series C Preferred Stock covered thereby. For
convenience, the right to purchase the RI Option Shares being assigned pursuant
to the Agreement is hereinafter referred to as the "RI Option."

     SECTION 2.  ACCEPTANCE OF ASSIGNMENT; ASSUMPTION OF FRESH CHOICE
AGREEMENT. RI hereby accepts the assignment of the RI Option, subject in all
cases to the terms and provisions of the Fresh Choice Agreement. In connection
therewith, RI represents and warrants to Crescent that RI has received a copy
of the Fresh Choice Agreement, has had the opportunity to review the Fresh
Choice Agreement, and fully understands RI's obligations thereunder. RI hereby
agrees to assume and to be bound by each and every term and condition of the
Fresh Choice Agreement relating to the RI Option, and agrees to be bound by and
to perform fully each of such terms and conditions in accordance with the terms
thereof.



<PAGE>   16
     SECTION 3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF RI. RI represents and
warrants to Crescent as follows: (i) RI has made an independent evaluation of

Crescent to furnish or provide it with any information of any nature whatsoever
regarding Fresh Choice, and hereby affirms that Crescent is under no obligation
whatsoever to furnish any of such information to RI; (ii) RI is an "accredited
investor," as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"); (iii) RI has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that RI is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the prospective investment in Fresh Choice; (iv) RI has received and
reviewed all information, including, without limitation, information about

RI deems necessary for the purpose of making a decision to accept the
assignment of the RI Option; (v) RI has had the opportunity to ask questions
and receive answers from representatives of Crescent and to obtain any
additional information it deems necessary for the purpose of making a decision
to accept the assignment of the RI Option and to evaluate the merits and risks
of so doing; and (vi) RI is acquiring the RI Option and, upon exercise thereof,
will acquire shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, for its own account and
not with a view to their distribution within the meaning of Section 2(II) of the
Act.

     SECTION 4.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CRESCENT. Crescent
represents and warrants to RI as follows: (i) Crescent is a limited partnership
duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware;

between the parties. There are no agreements, restrictions, promises,
representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings, written or oral, other
than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the matters
contemplated hereby. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, and no consent by any party to any departure therefrom by
