A new dining experience

Hey Chicks,

Happy Wednesday!  Hope you are all having a fab week, snuck some veggies into your kids foods (and yours too!) as per the Mama Chick Monday post and are pumped that May indoor boot camps are up and running:)

I completely believe in eating as much unprocessed, unpackaged foods as possible. So how do you that when eating out? You go somewhere where you cook it yourself!  A couple of weeks ago, I went to Korean BBQ for the first time with some of the FIT CHICKS team and I LOVED IT!

My vegan and vegetarian friends are probably cringing as they read this (I promise an upcoming post for you!) but for my meat eating chicks, Korean BBQ is a super fun way to eat unprocessed, unpackaged healthy food – plus it is cheap!

So why did I like it?

1. Great selection of lean proteins.  You can choose from beef, pork, chicken, salmon, shrimp and squid so try it all!

2. Great option for gluten free diets, Paleolithic Diet (think caveman!), and high protein, no processed carb diets diets.   Steer clear of the sauces (some contain wheat).

3. You get to be a chef! Eating should be fun and you get to cook your own food with your friends and family. Plus, you know exactly what is in it. Make sure you do cook it long enough to avoid any food poisoning:(

But even though I loved it, still keep in mind:

1. Not great for vegan diets or vegetarian.  They do have a selection of tofu (even though I believe tofu should be eaten very minimally) and a minimal selection of veggies but not much to choose from.

2. It’s ‘easy to over eat.  Avoid the “All you can eat” option and go for a la carte to manage portions. 3-6 oz of protein is about all you need.

3. White Stuff! The only option for rice is white but they do offer Kimchee (a fermented cabbage almost like a Korean coleslaw) and lettuce wraps to which is a plus.

Have a fabulous day!
