Healthy Fast Food... who knew??

Quite the delicious alternative to fast food is THE VEGGIE GRILL!!!
www.veggiegrill.com

With two locations in LA and two in Orange County, there is no longer an excuse to eat badly when you are on the run!! It happens to be the perfect alternative for vegetarians and vegans; however, you don't have to be either to enjoy a healthy meal here!

The PAPA'S PORTOBELLO is a grilled portobello mushroom on a wheat bun and dressed with chopped tomatoes, garlic and basil pomodoro, caramelized onion, pesto and chipotle ranch sauce! (You have the option of ordering anything protein-style = on a bed of kale)... I must confess, I had the side of sweet-potato fries (my weakness)... but everything is ok in moderation, right?



The GRILLIN' CHICKIN' sandwich was amazing! You'd never know it's not chicken! Served on a whole wheat bun, with avocado, lettuce, tomato, red onion, cilantro pesto, and chipotle ranch. Had this with the side of Steamin' Kale.... the texture was perfect, as was the taste!



We also tried the CHINESE CHICKIN' salad. I must explain, CHILLIN' CHICKEN is made of some specially seasoned and marinated veggie protein blends (including soy), which look and taste like chicken (no pun intended), really.... it does.... and is pretty delicious!

So if you are committed to change your unhealthy ways, this is a great alternative when you are out and about! Remember... change happens one step at a time!! This could be that first step in the right direction to the road of wellness!!

I am sure this will be quite the rage with many of my "health nut" friends!

To your health, mes amis!!
