| - Healthy, Tasty & Gluten Free!!!
Having gone gluten free and egg free two weeks ago (yes, I'm counting) I've been on a quest for places to dine that meet my dietary restrictions, and provide tasty nutritious food. I was delighted to discover Grabba Green.
Before visiting them, I spent quite a bit of time on their website. In addition to giving up glutens and eggs due to sensitivities, I have to balance my carbs and proteins so that each meal I consume has at least as many proteins as carbohydrates. Their website identifies the ingredients in each of their menu items. Access to
nutritional breakdown information is available as well. I was able to develop a list of which menu offerings fit my needs whether "as is" or with some tweaking of the ingredients. This may not be important to most people, but it really was helpful to me. It was also very cool that their online menu has a feature where if you click on the item, it shows you a picture of the menu item, clearly showing all of the ingredients.
I arrived at around noon on a Monday, and it thankfully wasn't too busy. The restaurant offered only counter service, but was clean and pleasant with a fair amount of table space. Their menu includes wraps and paninis, and meals (bowls) with either grains or greens as the foundation to which other combinations of ingredients are added. They also offer breakfast items, a variety of smoothies, healthy snacks, and prepared and made to order juices.
The young man who waited on me was super friendly, and took time to verify for me that the dressing for the salad I was ordering "On The Border" didn't have eggs or egg products in it. That information was not on their website, although Vegan salad dressings were identified as such. He was also happy to help me reason through how to boost the protein in smoothies that were generally too carb heavy for me to consider otherwise.
Once I ordered, my "On the Border" salad (Spinach, Chicken, Avocado, Black Bean, Red Pepper, Tomato, Cilantro, Cheddar Jack, Yogurt Agave BBQ dressing) didn't take long to prepare. It came in a brown box with enough weight to feel pretty substantial. 10 minutes later, at home, I was delighted with my salad. The use of ingredients was generous and well balanced, everything was very fresh, it smelled wonderful, and the flavors were very good.
It wasn't cheap, but I thought that the prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. I absolutely plan to be eating at Grabba Green again soon. I already know what I'll have next time!
