Undeniably, cooking and eating at home can often net you the tastiest and healthiest of meal options. There are, however, times when going out is necessary, such as during our in-city move within Santa Barbara. There is only so much you can do in those last critical days in an old place, after the cookware is packed, and once you've moved into the new place.
Thank goodness for Silvergreens. We can vouch for several of the menu items at this local chain cafe (just two locations), especially those listed on the menu as Silvergreens' favorites, but this particular meal is one of our favorites. The Steak & Avocado Premium Sandwich on Honey Wheat bread and the Crispy Thai Chicken Salad (you can also request grilled chicken) can be ordered individually as a half or full size. There are also Half-and-Half and 3-some specials that allow you to customize your meal with any sandwich, salad, and/or soup, plus a free cookie or $.50 fruit cup.
What makes Silvergreens unique is that they are happy to let you know exactly what nutrients you're eating when you order it. At this point, you might be imagining a blow-up print of a traditional nutrition guide when you walk in the door. With Silvergreens, it gets personal - the patented Nutricate receipt breaks down the calories, fiber, fat, and protein in your food and then gives you a nutrition total for your order, like so:
To ease the pain of the calorie count on the receipt, you can flip it over to find not only fun facts and information, but also a coupon for a return visit. From a free Strawberry Lemonade to a discounted frozen yogurt, you'll count yourself lucky to experience this appealing cafe.
