Wellness Wednesday: Volume 5 // Eating Out

Happy Wednesday! For my Wellness Wednesday post this week I wanted to answer a frequently asked question.

Question: What are your go-to healthy things you order when eating out?

Answer: Here are some examples of what I would order on WEEKDAYS depending on where we are.

drink //

• Water + Veggie Based Juice (lunch)
• Sauvignon Blanc (dinner)
• Skinny Margarita (dinner)

main course //

• Seafood or Fish
  • Tuna Tartare
  • Sushi *ask for no rice – or for it to be rolled in cucumber
  • Poke Bowl
  • Salad with Grilled Salmon
  • Fish Tacos *ask to be grilled & naked (no shell or tortilla)
• Soup *non cream based – love a good Miso or broth based soup
• Grilled Portobello Mushroom
• Warm Bowl with Quinoa/Veggie/Protein *light cheese
• Salad
  • Do’s: dark green leaf lettuce, lean protein grilled, fat (avocado/nut), dressing on side
  • Don’ts: fried protein, croutons, too much dressing, too much cheese

sides //

• salad to start *dressing & cheese on the side – depending on what it is will depend on how much I use
• grilled veggies or edamame
• chips & salsa/guac *ask for a side of cucumbers for dipping

On WEEKENDS I do treat myself and indulge when we are out to eat. I like to order any of my favorites – pasta or pizza, tacos, calamari, a cheese board and spicy margaritas.
