im going to brunch tomorrow and trying to decide what i'll get, which of these descriptions would be best as far as nutrition, also how many calories would they be?
1. a smoothie with carrot juice, orange, and banana(their smoothies are a large glass, about 16 oz), and a salad with green leaf lettuce, carrot, cucumber, purple cabbage, red onion, tomato, and sunflower sprouts. the bowl for the salad is very large, i would have almost no dressing on it
2. vegan rye bun, grilled and topped with sauerkraut, green onions, sliced tomato, vegan cheese, and black olives. Served open-faced with sliced pickle
3. A fresh-roasted poblano pepper (spiciness varies) stuffed with organic brown rice, corn, green peas, tempeh,and fresh cilantro. Baked with verde sauce. served with black beans and summer squash sautee
4. Fresh vegetables steamed to order with sage mashed potatoes and black eyed peas. Served with a side of Cashew Tamari dressing
5. Fresh vegetables stir fried in canola oil with tofu, green onions, mushrooms and cashews. Finished with a sauce of fruit juices, fresh ginger, cashews, garlic and pineapple puree
6. Organic brown basmati rice with black eyed peas and green onions, and a side salad(same type as the one in option 1 but a lot smaller portion)|||Any of the options is in the 400 calories range, so that is reasonable. The first option doesn't have adequate protein. The fifth is also a bit low on protein. If it was me, I would go for number 3 as it has the best overall balance.
