Happy True Year!

01.12.18

It's so easy to eat healthy and delicious foods at True Food Kitchen at Fashion Island. And, now is a great time to get in to try the winter menu featuring seasonally-driven food and winter-inspired cocktails and refreshers. Each dish follows the principles of the anti-inflammatory food pyramid, and its commitment to wholesome, seasonal ingredient and simple preparations so that you can enjoy the freshness and flavor.

New menu items include a bright and beautiful tomato & arugula pizza—a vegan pizza with organic DiNapoli tomato sauce (made exclusively for True Food Kitchen), olive oil and lemon. A cashew pad thai made with kombu, a mineral-rich, low-calorie Japanese seaweed, rice noodles, zucchini, mushroom, eggplant, gai lan, bean sprout, Thai basil and tamarind. It’s gluten-free, too. There’s also a fresh, flavor-filled Mediterranean chicken pita served on grilled flatbread with romaine, arugula, red onion, grape tomato and harissa tahini, alongside a serving of housemade pickles. And, a light and antioxidant-filled pomegranate mule made with chai-infused vodka, pomegranate, lime and ginger honey. 

Open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.

451 Newport Center Drive in Newport Beach. 949.644.2400.

New Year Healthy Dining Options

01.11.18

The New Year is a perfect time to start making healthy choices, but it can be difficult to find low-calorie options when eating out. At Rubio’s Coastal Grill and Islands they’ve added new low calorie and healthy dishes perfect for clean eating.

Health-conscious guests at Islands have plenty of options less than 700 calories. A couple favorites from the low-calorie Bikini Beach menu are:

No-Blame Grilled Veggie Tacos (480 cal): Corn tortillas stuffed with grilled veggies, cheddar cheese and topped with roasted corn, black beans, and Pico de Gallo.

Turkey Burger Lite (640 cal): Served with a whole wheat bun, topped with red onion, lettuce, mustard and served with a side of steamed broccoli and carrots. 

At Rubio’s Coastal Grill, their grilled shrimp dishes are great for healthier options because it’s relatively low in calories and packed with important minerals and vitamins.

We love the new Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp Bowl (720 cal): with mouth-watering shrimp with smoked paprika and tomato butter on a bed of crisp cabbage, citrus rice, and black beans, and topped with Hass avocado slices, white chipotle sauce, salsa fresca and crispy tortilla strips. 

And the new Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp Two Taco Plate (860 cal): This warm, buttery shrimp is topped with creamy Haas avocado slices, salsa fresca, crisp cabbage, white chipotle sauce, and is served on warm stone-ground tortillas with a side of “no-fried” pinto beans and chips.
