Today I was walking through HUB on campus, trying to find something to eat that was healthy and easy, since I didn't have time to make a lunch this morning.
I walked past Bee's Health Foods, and saw their sign "Ask about our Gluten Free options!" My heart seriously stopped. Healthy food on campus that was gluten free? I thought it was impossible.
I asked the person working (who I THINK is the owner, since I see him there all the time), and he said that everything on their menu is GF except for the couscous chicken (obviously). Also, most of the sauces are GF, including ranch, caesar, sweet chili, and BBQ.
I got the brown rice, chicken, feta and veggies dish, with sweet chili sauce. It was delicious! They also give you a HUGE portion, and I wasn't even able to finish it. Next time I would like to try their mexi-tuna dish, which has (from memory) tuna, brown rice, sour cream, and salsa.
As a nutrition student I LOVE that I can get brown rice at a commercial establishment. Also, my dish was just over $6, so it was still quite reasonable for healthy food.Gluten Free Edmonton - A Celiac guide and resource for gluten free information in Edmonton, Alberta

I love Beez on campus! The frozen yogurt at Barteca is also a must. If you have time to do some walking, I like grabbing a Booster Juice or a salad from Greenhouse. The Greenhouse is located inside Good Earth (next to Earls) and has the most amazing gourmet salads! If you have time to sit down, you can get gf pizza and the most amazing ice cream at Leva cafe on campus. Just a warning though.. it's a bit pricey. There is a list of gf friendly restaurants around the University listed on the Edmonton Celiac Chapter website.
ReplyDeleteI'm not cut to review healthy dishes as I myself prefer it over the normal food. I do like the idea of having these healthy restaurants near schools, though, as it raises the community's awareness of the nutritional value they intake in their food.
ReplyDeleteBeez Healthy is a great place to get nutritious and delicious meals that is convenient because of its location and cheap as well.
