Mmmm, good at Goody's

Goody's burritos are AWESOME but there are other choices from this restaurant, including the Grilled Veggies sandwich pictured at right.

This sandwich is vegetarian if you choose the one with cheese. If you are vegan, feel free to order this sandwich "without cheese." Also feel free to request a different bread.

There are many ways to get your daily vegetables and having a sandwich piled high with veggies is a good one! ...or should I say a "Goody's one!?"

Goody's Grab It and Go!

Goody's restaurant on Marshall College has some great sandwiches that you can grab on your way to or from class. I really enjoy the carved turkey sandwiches (pictured at right) and the roasted vegetable sandwiches.

On a nice day it's fun to enjoy your Goody's meal out on the patio with friends. There is even some great people-watching from this location on Ridgewalk.

Also check out Goody's Market on the lower level to get some groceries, treats or supplies.

In a Rush? Use a Market to do Fast and Healthy

Sometimes you need a meal that you can just grab and take with you - to class, to your room or on your way. Here is my lunch from Goody's Market (the lower level) on TMC. I had a Fresh2U "Just Veggies" salad and added hummus to it for a protein boost. I also had a fresh apple for some sweetness.

I had about half of the salad and one big scoop of hummus so I saved the rest for later. This meal was quick, healthy and vegetarian.

Beyond the Burrito at Goody's

Did you know that Goody's has fresh sandwiches and salads?

You probably know by now that Goody's burritos are awesome. The "other side" of Goody's also has some healthy and delicious meal options. Check out my incredible Grilled Vegetable sandwich from the deli side of Goody's. It's over-flowing with nutritious veggies and flavor!

Snacks for lunch

I am a big fan of appetizers, tapas and snacks of all kinds. Sometimes I like to make a meal out of what other people consider to be snacks. For example, this "snack meal" was something I picked up at Goody's Place. It's fresh fruit (melons, cantaloupe, apples, grapes, pineapple) and some salty mixed nuts. The mix of sweet and salt was delicious. I had a handful of the nuts and saved the rest for later. This meal was pretty light because I had it after a fairly large breakfast. Listening to your body's cues on how hungry you really are is key to maintaining a healthy weight. You might not need a full meal just because it's lunch time. Listen to your body!

Goody's, so good!

I love the new restaurant Goody's on RidgeWalk (TMC.) There are so many variations and combinations that you can make with the ingredients for burritos, burrito bowls and salads on the Latino side. Each combo has a different flavor and nutrient profile. Here is my delicious burrito bowl with rice, black beans, fajita veggies, lettuce, pico de gallo, corn and guacamole. I also had a fruit cup for some extra nutrition and color. And this meal is vegan!
