Whether you’re counting calories, following a specific diet, or simply want to start your day with wholesome food, this guide shows you how to enjoy a healthy breakfast at our restaurant without compromise.
Healthy breakfast options include protein bowls, veggie omelettes, oatmeal, fruit, lighter skillets, and sandwiches made with fresh ingredients. Guests can customize meals with egg whites, Just Egg, gluten-free toast, vegan butter, plant-based milk, fruit, salads, or sweet potato hash to fit vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, or lower calorie preferences.
Power-Packed Bowl Options
The Mediterranean Bowl is a nutritional powerhouse. It features scrambled egg whites, spinach, feta, cherry tomatoes, lentils, and chickpeas over cilantro lime rice. You can add chopped chicken sausage for additional charges to boost protein even further.
This bowl delivers protein from egg whites and legumes, fiber from lentils and chickpeas, vitamins from fresh vegetables, and healthy fats from feta. The cilantro lime rice adds flavor without heavy sauces or excessive calories.
The Vanilla Greek Yogurt Bowl offers a lighter option. It layers vanilla yogurt with homemade granola and seasonal fruit. Greek yogurt provides protein to keep you full, while granola adds fiber and healthy fats. The seasonal fruit ensures you’re getting vitamins and antioxidants at peak freshness.
Protein-Rich Breakfast Choices
The Protein Sandwich is designed for health-conscious diners who need substantial fuel. It features grilled chicken, sliced hard-boiled egg, avocado, and spinach on whole wheat toast, served with breakfast potatoes.
This sandwich delivers lean protein from chicken and eggs, healthy fats from avocado, and nutrients from fresh spinach. The whole wheat toast provides complex carbohydrates and fiber for sustained energy.
The Frittata offers another excellent protein option. This dish combines eggs, zucchini, onion, and cheese in a cast-iron skillet with a side of whole wheat toast. It’s naturally gluten-free and packed with vegetables.
Omelette Options for Every Diet
The Veggie Omelette is a customer favorite for good reason. It includes zucchini, asparagus, spinach, broccoli, and Swiss cheese served with breakfast potatoes and toast. You can request egg whites for an extra charge to reduce cholesterol and calories.
The Mediterranean Omelette features spinach, olives, mushrooms, peppers, and feta cheese. The combination of vegetables provides vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants while feta adds calcium and protein.
For vegan diners, the Power Trip Omelette uses Just Egg, Beyond Sausage, black beans, onion, peppers, cilantro, and avocado with diced fried potatoes and gluten-free toast. This plant-based option delivers complete protein and satisfying flavors.
Light and Refreshing Choices
The Hot Oatmeal Bowl is dairy-free and vegan, served with maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon alongside fresh fruit. Oatmeal provides soluble fiber that helps lower cholesterol and keeps you full for hours.
The Fruit Salad features a seasonal assortment of fresh fruits and berries with a side of sweet cream and local honey. This gluten-free option delivers vitamins, minerals, and natural sugars for quick energy.
Both options provide a satisfying breakfast without heavy ingredients. They’re perfect for those who prefer lighter morning meals or want to save calories for later in the day.
Skillet Options with a Healthy Twist
The Farm Skillet celebrates vegetables while delivering a substantial breakfast. It includes two eggs any way, asparagus, tomato, olives, feta, chicken sausage, breakfast potatoes, and toast.
The Sweet Potato Skillet uses scrambled egg whites, sweet potato hash, chicken sausage, red and yellow peppers, and cheddar cheese with whole wheat toast. Sweet potatoes provide complex carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins.
Both skillets can be customized with egg whites to reduce cholesterol. The generous vegetable portions ensure you’re getting nutrients alongside protein and carbohydrates.
Customization for Your Diet
The Skillet makes it easy to customize any dish for your dietary needs. Egg whites cost an additional charge on any egg dish. This simple swap reduces cholesterol and calories while maintaining protein.
