Top 10 Foods to eat in The Fresh Food Company:
- Omelets for breakfast or brunch: Packed with protein, vitamin E, and healthy fatty acids, omelets are a great choice. Fill yours with veggies and pair it with a whole-grain bagel and bowl of fresh fruit for a nutrient-packed way to start your day. Can you say brain food!?
- Granola: The Fresh Food Company serves granola at the breakfast bar each morning. Create your own healthy parfait by layering granola, yogurt, and fresh fruit.
- Salads: Our salad bar boasts a wide variety of antioxidant and fiber-rich veggies, fruits, and specialty salads everyday for lunch and dinner. Make your salad sing with color by choosing greens, yellows, reds, purples, and oranges to ensure optimal nutritional value. Don’t forget some beans, legumes, and eggs for protein!
- Vegetarian Station: Look for our vegetarian and vegan made from scratch specialties at lunch and dinner each day. The vegetarian station also features baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, veggie burgers, and made-to-order sautéed vegetables. Packed with nutrition and bursting with flavor, you’ll soon learn why going vegetarian is a wise choice!
- International Station specialties: The chefs at our International Station prepare fresh and healthy entrées that include an abundance of vegetables, lean meats (or tofu), and rice (or noodles). Each dish offers a great balance of protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to keep you going. Don’t miss the fresh tasty salads they prepare to accompany their entrées!
- Veggie burgers: We offer Morningstar farms veggie burgers by request for lunch at dinner at our Vegetarian Station. Higher in fiber and lower in fat than meat-based burgers, veggie burgers are a great alternative. Ask the chef to prepare one for you soon!
- Steamed veggies: Prefer your veggies steamed instead of sautéed? Simply ask our chefs in the Southern Kitchen to steam yours for lunch or dinner. This is a simple effective way to cut back on extra calories if you’re trying to lose weight.
- Whole grain breads and cereals: Carbohydrates keep your energy level up during the day. We offer several varieties of whole-grain cereals, breads, tortillas, and bagels. By choosing these instead of more refined options, you’ll increase the amount of fiber, vitamins, and minerals you consume.
- Soup: Soups can be a healthy part of any meal. Look for our tomato, bean, and broth-based soups such as chicken noodle, vegetable barley, and Italian wedding. They are a filling way to provide a serving or two of vegetables in one bowl.
- Desserts: Yes, everyone needs a little sweetness in their life! My favorite choices are our fat-free soft-serve ice cream, chocolate covered macaroons, sugar-free cookies, and fruit cobblers.
