Heart Healthy with a Dose of Brain Health at CRISP Kitchen & Juice
At CRISP Kitchen & Juice, we've curated a menu that not only takes care of your heart but also nourishes your brain and might we say feeds the soul too! Join us on a nourishing journey where every bite is a step towards an energized YOU! Let’s take a look at some of the options in this heart-healthy month of love!
1. Fatty Fish: Omega-3 Goodness
Wild-caught salmon from Alaska takes the spotlight as our number one source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Indulge in our Beet-Cured Salmon Poké, Salmon & Lox Bagel, or the Salmon Lox Grazing Board for a delightful omega-3-rich experience that's good for your heart and your taste buds.
2. Lentils: The Tiny Powerhouses
Lentils are not just a humble legume; they’re a nutritional powerhouse! Packed with fiber, protein, and essential nutrients, lentils are a key player here. Dive into our Faux Gras pâte, a guilt-free indulgence that mirrors the rich flavor profile of traditional foie gras spices with a wonderfully creamy texture without compromising your heart health. Spread it generously on a CRISP baguette, a CRISP Life-Giving cracker or one of our other always gluten-free bakes! It’s a fast fan favorite and let us warn you, the jar isn’t likely to last very long once the discovery has been made!
3. Almonds: A Crunchy Heart Delight
Almonds are more than just a satisfying snack; they are heart-healthy wonders. If you haven’t already, try our Breakfast Cookies, which are loaded with the goodness of almonds and are a perfect choice to sustain you all the way to lunch! This quick nourishment, with the moniker ‘cookie,’ is a great on-the-go treat that keeps your heart happy and your taste buds invigorated. Also, try our Granolas for a quick snack or a breakfast that will quickly satisfy and energize! Our CRISP Signature Salted Tahini Granola is a favorite, and for our friends who are looking for grain-free options, we have our equally delightful CRISP Paleo Granola, too!
4. Romesco: A Classic Mediterranean Twist
Our CRISP Breakfast Sandwich takes a Mediterranean twist with the addition of our house-made Romesco. Crafted with heart-healthy almonds and lightly charred red peppers, this flavorful spread not only adds a sweet element of deliciousness but also adds a burst of nutrients to your morning routine!
5. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO): Liquid Gold in Every Dish
At CRISP Kitchen & Juice, EVOO is mindfully added where a dish needs that little bit of healthy extra. You’ll find it in our salads, dressings, drizzled on the ever-popular avocado toast and more, ensuring that you get a daily dose of monounsaturated fats that are so good for heart health. Try our fan-favorite red wine vinaigrette, currently dancing with our Grass Fed, Grass Finished Steak Salad, and you'll see why EVOO is such an important staple in our kitchen!
6. Flaxseeds: Lifegiving Crackers for Lifelong Heart Health
Our CRISP Lifegiving Crackers are not just a crunchy nibble; they are also an important source of essential omega-3 fatty acids found in flax seeds which is the ingredient that pulls them together. Snack guilt-free, knowing that every bite contributes to a healthier heart!
7. Green Tea: Brain-Boosting Elixir
Green tea is more than just a refreshing beverage; it's a brain-boosting elixir. Sip on our Tropical Matcha Smoothie, Matcha Latte, or a Matcha Coconut Chia from our ‘Grab n Run’ case for a burst of antioxidants that so deliciously support not only heart but also brain health as well!
8. Oats: A Heart-Healthy Breakfast Staple
Oats are a breakfast staple at CRISP Kitchen & Juice. From our popular Overnight Oats to our CRISP Signature Salted Tahini Granola and CRISP Nut-Free Granola, we ensure that your morning starts with a heart-healthy kick. We also love our steele-cut oats that are an important part of our protein grain and seed mix in both our Savory and Sweet porridges! Perfect for these cooler winter mornings!
9. Pumpkin: Winter Squash Wonders
Winter squash, including current menu items: butternut and delicata squash plus sweet potatoes, are not just winter must haves; they provide essential nutrients for heart and brain health. Try our Brunch All Day Bowl or the Jenn An Tabbouleh Salad for a flavorful dose of these nutrient-packed veggies in all their naturally-sweet glory!
10. Tahini: Middle Eastern Magic
Tahini, a Middle Eastern treat made from ground sesame seeds, is a rich source of LDL-lowering monounsaturated fats. And it’s so wonderfully tasty! Indulge in our CRISP Signature Salted Tahini Granola, Marcella Bean Hummus, Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies, or our Rancho Meladuco Dates with Tahini & Maldon Salt for a journey deliciously into heart-healthy goodness! We love our Soom Tahini! It’s available in our marketplace too!
