Red ROBIN!

So after eating here many times I recently learned many great things about Red Robin's Menu.

-They serve the Boca Vegan burger with a bun for only 15 points plus (10 without the dijon mustard) or without the bun and Dijon Mustard its only 4 points plus.

-They can make anything on their menu with a lettuce "bun" instead of a bread bun.

-They serve really yummy steamed veggies

- They even have a way you can figure out the nutriton facts of your personalized meal!

- BE CAREFUL with the natural burger. Served with a bun its 15 points plus! However take off that bun and wrap it in lettuce and you a juicy burger for only 8 points plus!

-Lastly we also have be careful of those chicken sandwiches. The whiskey river chicken sandiwch adds up to a whopping 25 points plus. WOW! Even taking that bun and mayo off you are still at 12 points plus values. The Simply grilled chicken sandwich however is only 11. Take off that bun and you are only at 4points plus and now you can savor some of those YUMMY fries.

So go ahead and enjoy some Red Robin YUM!

Cranberry Chicken

2-3 Chicken Breast

Fat free Dressing (italian/catalina/french)

1 packet dry onion soup mix

Use cooking spray to coat the bottom of baking dish.

Place chicken in dish and top with glaze. Bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes

Salsa Chicken

2-3 chicken breasts

1 jar of salsa

1 packet of taco seasoning

Combine all in a crockpot, cook until the chicken shreds... about 4-5 on high, 7-8 on low.

Subway
I personally love the veggie salad with chicken breast or by itself with some soup. Most of the soups at subway range from 2-3points plus and are very low in calorie. You cannot go wrong with most things at subway. I will go in more detail in a later post about my true love for subway's choices.

I will report some great Red Robin finds hopefully tomorrow! I cannot believe this chain has such healthy choices!
