| - I was starving at lunch time today, and turned to Yelp to help me find a Vegan option in Newmarket. This led me to Natures Emporium.
I was very pleased with the selection on their salad bar and their vegetarian/vegan hot bar. As with all of these cafeteria style eateries, you do have to be really mindful of what you put in your plate, because it can add up quickly. I regularly go to Whole Paycheque downtown Toronto, so I'm very accustomed to this and I know how to load my plate. I'm always mindful of things that are "heavy" like lasagna or Mac and cheese. If something is really dense, it will obviously cost more to fill your plate! To cut costs, opt for salads, loosely pack your plate, and just buy what you will actually eat. When possible, sometimes I will use a soup container instead of a large bowl or plate to help me keep the quantity in check.
I opted for some gluten-free brown rice pasta, topped with veggies and a bit of tomato sauce. It was tasty, just like real, home cooked food. Not loaded with sodium and all of the other crap.
In all I got my pasta, a water, an apple and a date square for $16.
I will definitely go back when I'm in the area.
