Freshii

i like to think of myself as healthy.  
i workout, eat my greens, avoid processed foods, and take most things in moderation.

although to be fair this last month i've been off my a-game.  workouts are still a regular occurrence {after all they keep me sane}, but take out has taken over.  we moved,  then wedding month/BBQ season happened.  luckily september means back-to-school and back to schedules.

so when i was approached by Freshii, a new healthy restaurant chain in calgary, to come and see what they have to offer, i was eager to try it out and it couldn't have come at a better time.

eat. energize.  
that's the Freshii motto.  their aim is to provide fresh and nutritious meal choices that energize people on the go.  emphasizing the foods you should eat more of and less on those you should avoid.  providing meals and snacks to live your best life.  fibre-rich, slow-burning carbs, essential fats and lean proteins.  the menu includes custom-made green wraps, salads, quinoa bowls, and fresh pressed juices.

today i had the pleasure of being their guest at breakfast.  breakfast is an essential part to my day since it usually follows an early morning workout.   for me,  a healthy balanced breakfast not only nourishes me, but it also sets the tone for the remainder of the day.

fresh pressed juices
carrot zinger |  carrot, apple, ginger
red power |  beet, carrot, ginger, lemon

ranchero grilled breakfast burrito |  scrambled eggs, avocado, black beans, aged cheddar, cilantro, pico de gallo

spinach, mushroom & cheese grilled egg pocket |  scrambled eggs, spinach, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, goat cheese

thanks freshii for starting my day off on the right foot, you've quickly become my new go-to restaurant.
you also sent me home with lunch, which was devoured at record pace and was so very delicious.  #thankful

pangoa bowl |  brown rice, avocado, black beans, aged cheddar, corn, grape tomatoes, cilantro, lime wedge, fiery bbq sauce

this is a place not to be missed. 
 i'm already looking forward to going back and eating my way through the rest of the menu.  which just so happens to also include 1, 3 or 5 day juice cleanses.  perfect for the after thanksgiving hangover that is sure to occur.
