Talk about a healthy eater’s heaven.
Freshii reigns supreme as one of the healthiest on-the-go spots, thanks to its vast salad bar options, filling rice bowls, vegetable-heavy sandwich wraps and more.
However, some options can increase the margin for error. To keep you on the healthy track, here’s our list of favourites you can enjoy at any time.
Breakfast
For less than 200 calories, 5 grams of fat, 28 grams of carbs and 7 grams of protein, the Spinach & Goat Cheese Wrap scores top marks for a quick and tasty light meal that you can grab on the go. And thanks to its low calorie count, you can still enjoy a non-fat latte without worry.
For something sweet, the Yogurt Parfait hits the spot. With just 91 calories, 0 grams of fat, 14 grams of carbs and 9 grams of protein, top it with blueberries and organic granola for some extra colour and crunch.
Savoury Soup
When wintery temperatures call for warm comfort, pick up a bowl of chicken soup with brown rice. To boost its protein, add roasted chicken and edamame along with mushrooms, broccoli, celery and carrots. With just 300 calories, 5 grams of fat, 40 grams of carbs and 26 grams of protein, this soup is a perfect winter meal.
Custom Salad
Where salads are concerned, the sky is the limit when it comes to Freshii’s long list of toppings and combinations. While Freshii offers lots of great pre-selected options, creating your own helps avoid unnecessary calories and fat. Load your salad up with lots of greens, grilled chicken or turkey, high-fibre vegetables and make sure you stick to the 24/7 dressing options.
That’s a Wrap
Wraps can be somewhat deceiving, so buyer beware. The Tuna Garden wrap for example has more than 500 calories and 1,000 mg of sodium! Create your own with mixed greens, oven roasted turkey, tomatoes, cucumbers, goat cheese and mustard. For just 260 calories, 11 grams of fat, 56 grams of carbs and 22 grams of protein, this wrap really satisfies — so much, we often save half for a snack later.
Dessert, mid-day snack or anytime treat
Creamy and smooth, cold and ever-so-satisfying, if Freshii created a frozen yogurt club, we’d be honorary chair. Luckily, a small size has just 105 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 21 grams carbs, and 3 grams of protein.
