As the weather shifts to warmer temperatures, many people start craving fresher, healthier dishes. There’s no shortage of colorful, locally-sourced ingredients and menu items in Park City to delight your senses and invigorate your body. Here are a few choices to help you get that new fresh start going in style.
Guest Haus
Food can be medicine, a concept that is recognized and applied at Park City juicery Guest Haus. Fuel your body, mind and spirit with liquid creations like their Easy Greens Juice, which contains cucumber, apple, kale, celery, lemon and mint. The nutrient-dense drink promotes healthy skin, hair and nails! Or try the aptly-named Arches Juice with oranges, pineapple, beet, carrot, ginger and super-food spice turmeric to promote heart health and improve immunity.
There are also scrumptious salads for an easy grab-and-go lunch, like the Guest Haus Power Bowl with greens, mint, quinoa, cranberries, toasted pepitas and feta cheese or the extra-colorful chopped ranch with romaine lettuce, carrots, celery, purple cabbage, tomatoes and toasted almonds, topped with a house-made dairy-free ranch dressing. Other options include overnight oats, chia pudding, soups, smoothies and nut milks. There are also cleansing kits if you need a system reset.
Harvest
Get your day off to a healthy start with house-made muesli with coconut yoghurt, fresh fruit and almond milk or an acai bowl at Harvest. Nourishing choices for later in the day include the Salmon Wellness Bowl with miso glazed salmon, quinoa, kombu, edamame, pickled ginger, avocado, cucumber, radish and a homemade ponzu dressing or warming chicken laksa noodle soup with rice noodles, bean sprouts, coconut cream, cilantro and red chilis. There are also coffee drinks, pastries, cookies and banana bread – because we all need balance, right?
Fairweather Natural Foods
You can pick up organic sandwiches, wraps, bowls and soups, as well as freshly made organic juices at Fairweather Natural Foods, while also stocking up on whole foods grocery items to prepare at home. Satisfying café items include sandwiches with your choice of protein (egg salad, tofu eggless salad, hummus or vegan chicken), quiche of the day and green goddess smoothies. You can indulge on vegan baked goods and gluten-free options. If you need to stock up on knowledge for your dietary upgrade, the natural foods store offers books, recipes and in-person guidance!
Luna’s Kitchen
You are never far from a “thoughtfully sourced” vibrant, fresh meal with all of the options at Luna’s Kitchen. It’s easy to keep your healthy eating plan on track with so many ways to get a clean, nourishing meal. Swing by their store for made-to-order take out, or (even easier!) select one of the many gourmet grab-and-go items that have been prepared in advance – choose from lunch dishes like their Mediterranean salad, butternut curry squash bisque or the herbed chicken and cranberry wrap. There are even family-style meals and party platters to feed your whole crew (order in advance). Need something even more convenient than grab-and-go? Luna’s Kitchen can be delivered to you through Uber Eats – just as fast, or faster, than fast food. An added bonus is that Luna’s Kitchen has a gluten-free bakery with vegan and paleo options – treat yourself to a vanilla cupcake, mocha doughnut or berry streusel muffin. Your days of deprivation are over!
There are plenty of options in Park City to help you keep to a clean eating program, without sacrificing flavor or adventure. What are some of your favorites?
