As you know, or if you don’t know you will now, Fit Bar is a plant-based cafe focused on providing the highest quality ingredients while using no added refined sugars, dairy, and mainly gluten free.
Our mission is to provide all of you with nutritious foods that remind you of your favorite indulgences but without the BS ingredients and additives.
I have been a part of the Fit Bar crew for over two years now which means I have done a lot of recipe testing and trying out different combinations with our ingredients, but oftentimes I can’t beat the delicious items that are already on the menu - because they’re on the menu for a reason right!?
I want to share with you some recommendations and point out the similarities in our products compared to the not so healthy foods on the market.
For me it’s important to fulfill my cravings but it’s equally important to be aware of ingredients and how they will affect me so finding a balance between the two was the mission.
Fit Bar smoothies are a combination of high protein, healthy fats, and fiber which keep you full and powered throughout the day while tasting like dessert, for example our Health Nut smoothie. I am here to tell you that it tastes like a Reese’s shake and trust me I have had my fair share of Reese’s products throughout my life.
When I was 13 I was on a strict chocolate and peanut butter only diet so I still crave it to this day, and let me tell you the Health Nut is a game changer.
Starting with the star ingredients chocolate and peanut butter, we use a plant based chocolate protein that is gluten free, sugar free, dairy free, and soy free, along with raw cacao powder, and peanut butter with no added oils or sugar.
Combine that with banana, cacao nibs, a dash of coconut, and coconut water and out comes a creamy smoothie packed with protein and micronutrients.
Any customer that comes in looking for a rich and nutritious smoothie I immediately recommended this one.
To stay on the peanut butter train, and also because it’s one of my top favorite food/snack or whatever you want to call it, we have a PP&J smoothie that happens to be one of our best sellers.
Peanut butter and jelly fans this one's for you!
You might be wondering why there are two “P’s” in the name but we put our own Fit Bar twist on a classic by adding the super food, Pitaya. More commonly known as Dragonfruit, Pitaya is loaded with antioxidants and fiber while carrying a mild flavor that pairs well with almost anything.
The PP&J smoothie is a combination of vanilla protein, pitaya, strawberries, banana, peanut butter, and almond milk so it packs more of a fruity flavor.
I typically go for this smoothie after a workout when I am craving some superfoods and since I like things more tart, I throw in a couple raspberries and it truly tastes like a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich that I feel good about eating!
We have so many items on the menu along with add ons and boosts so finding your perfect smoothie is so easy and delicious.
One of our newer products and something that I love sharing with our customers are Waffles!
Between store-bought frozen waffles, Waffle House, I-Hop and pretty much anywhere else you can get a waffle, they’re going to be packed with refined sugars, dairy, and refined gluten which let’s be honest, that doesn’t exactly set you off on the right foot after indulging for breakfast. Marketing these processed foods as a solid breakfast option should be a crime but that’s a topic for another time… so let’s talk about the waffles that Fit Bar created that are marketed as a nutritious on the go breakfast which is exactly what they are!
No sugar crash and no regrets because our recipe is packed with whole food ingredients, no gluten, completely vegan, and refined sugar free because that is what is important to US.
People often come in looking for something more substantial or heartier than a smoothie so we created waffles and let me tell, they blow Eggo out of the water. They’re also less intimidating because they are easily taken on the go and you know we all look for convenience.
Fit Bar is proud to offer plant-based and healthy options and although some are not as familiar with our items, it is our mission to provide and educate all of you.
Some may be thrown off by unique superfoods or the fact that we don’t offer any animal products but that’s why we create alternatives to show you there are ways around processed foods that are as delicious as they are rewarding.
Besides my recommendations above, our whole crew knows the ins and outs of our menu and items so feel free to come in a chat with them if you’re looking to switch it up or for something more specific.
You can also reach out via email if you have any dietary restrictions or any particular preferences and our nutrition coach can help you out!
Trying new things can be exciting especially, when you know it’s good for your well being so don’t be afraid to step out of your food comfort zone.
