| - Mmmm hmmm healthy schmealthy food...and, hey, it's really tasty!
I finally got a chance to check out Energy Cafe's new location in the Duke Energy building and I was really impressed! Not only was the food super fresh and delicious, but the ambiance is clean and inviting and the employees smiley and helpful.
I ordered the Power Packed Chicken Salad sandwich - roasted chicken, low-fat mayo, dried cranberries and nuts on multigrain bread. Not only did it fill me up, but this healthy sammie packed a punch! The flavors were great, bright and perfect for a healthy lunch. I ordered a combo with my meal and scored some cheddar potato Popchips (this is the first place I've seen them in Charlotte!) and an iced tea. Their decaf detox tea is delicious, too - nice and refreshing! Plus, their menu lists the nutrition content which I really respect.
My combo came to just under $10 when all was said and done. Price wise, it's a bit more than other sandwich locales, but the organic ingredients and nutritious outlook is worth a few bucks more to me.
I also noticed that they have teeny little cups for free froyo if you purchase a combo. Yesterday's flavor was pistachio - and while I didn't have any, it looked froyolicious. In terms of a healthy, flavor packed meal in Uptown - Energy Cafe is the one of the best of the best fo shizzle.
