Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes is one of the very few all-you-can-eat style restaurants that you can frequent without feeling guilty about going overboard. After all, an extra bowl of soup or slightly more cheddar in your salad won’t ruin your calorie chart for the day. Conversely, if you are looking to meet up your carb intake, this place also serves toothsome pasta and pizzas. If you are trying to replenish your body’s glycogen store after a rigorous workout, head straight to the dessert section and hog on their amazing blueberry muffins. From salad lovers and foodaholics to dieters and gym junkies, the Souplantation food caters to the taste of all. However, eating healthy, even at Souplantation, is an art.
Healthy Souplantation Food Options
If you are on a weight-loss mission, Souplantation should be your go-to restaurant. This place will leave your taste buds as well as your belly satisfied. If you are looking for low-calorie options, try these healthy recipes from the Souplantation food menu.
1. Gluten-Friendly Bowl: If you have been consciously trying to eliminate gluten from your life, we are with you. To create a gluten-friendly meal, mix 2 cups of spring mix with 4 grape tomatoes, 1/4 cup red cabbage, 2 tablespoons of peas, 4 slices of cucumber and 2 tablespoons of radishes. Add 2 tablespoons of hard-boiled eggs to meet your protein intake. Add flavor to your meal with a 2 tablespoon serving of fat-free Italian Dressing. To meet your carbs goal, take a baked potato and cover it with cheddar cheese and green onions. This is a heavy bowl with less than 10% of calories coming from saturated fat. To avoid any binge-eating regrets later, stick to grapes for dessert. Healthy and flavorful!
2. Antioxidant Boost Meal: The Antioxidant Boost Meal is, in my opinion, the best item on the Souplantation food menu. To make your antioxidant boost bowl, mix 2 cups of spinach with 1/4 cups of bell pepper and 1/4 cups of red cabbage. Add 2 tablespoons each of carrots, mushrooms, garbanzo beans, quinoa blend, and hard-boiled eggs. Also, add 4 florets each of cauliflower and broccoli as well as 4 slices of cucumber and 4 grape tomatoes. Use balsamic vinegar dressing with a 2 tablespoon serving of sour cream and one tablespoon each of cheddar and green onions to give this meal bowl a slightly tangy and sweet taste. To satisfy your carb cravings, reward yourself with a blueberry muffin and few orange slices.
3. Tuna Tarragon Pasta Salad: Well, this isn’t a salad you can make on your own. The preparation is rather tricky and thus, it is a good idea to let the chefs behind all that amazing Souplantation food dawn their hats and use their culinary skills to serve you better. The tuna tarragon pasta salad has spinach fettuccine, sour cream, dried tarragon leaves, tuna, pasta and mayonnaise as major ingredients. It is slightly on the heavier side, but it is also unbelievably tasty. It’s a major hit and the next time you decide to binge on Souplantation food, make sure to ask for this salad.
Healthy Vegan Options at Souplantation
The world has changed. Today, it is more accommodating of alternative dietary lifestyle choices, such as vegetarianism and veganism. That said, it still isn’t easy to be a vegan. Not all restaurants serve vegan food. The handful of restaurants that serve vegan food suffer from a paucity of options. In such a scenario, Souplantation or Sweet Tomatoes is a safe haven for strict followers of Veganism.
1. Vegan Salad Bowl: To make a vegan salad, mix romaine lettuce, spinach, spring mix, bell peppers, broccoli, and tomatoes. To load on vegan protein, add garbanzo, black, or kidney beans to your salad bowl. Souplantation serves a variety of vegan dressings for your salads. If you like a creamy taste, try the fat-free vegan Italian dressing at Souplantation. If you prefer a slightly tangy after taste, the French vegan dressing is the right choice for you. If the Souplantation dressings are not to your taste, do not worry. Souplantation provides you with all the ingredients you will need to make your own dressing. Contrarily, if you are not in the mood to make your own salad, the Souplantation food menu also includes prepared salads and bread made especially for its vegan guests.
Conclusion
Eating healthy is a choice. While a place like Souplantation makes it easy for guests to stick to healthier dietary habits, it isn’t very difficult to veer off to the pasta corner or the dessert section and binge eat carbs. However, if you go in with a strong will and stern mind, Souplantation food will make it easier for you to say no to the bad choices.
