NOODLES & COMPANY

For lunch today, I set my GPS to direct me to the nearest Whole Foods for lunch.  I parked the car and noticed that I was parked right in front of a Noodles & Company franchise.

I have wanted to try their menu offerings for quite some time and I ventured inside.  First I checked online for the nutritional information offered by this establishment and found many different possibilities.   I settled on the BUFF JAPANESE PAN.

BUFF JAPANESE PAN: Marinated steak sits atop a bed of spinach, rich in vitamins and minerals, plus a double amount of veggies like broccoli for a healthy dose of vitamins C & K, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, a good source of fiber, Asian sprouts, black sesame seeds and cilantro, dressed with a sweet soy sauce.  (320 CALORIES)

I am sold!  Very delicious, healthy, low calorie lunch.  I need to find more of these Noodle & Company restaurants during my travels.
