Green and Tonic might not be the first eatery that comes to mind when you’re hungry and looking for something Paleo. True, you won’t find bacon or grass-fed burgers. What you will find are lots of snacks and sides to help support your grain-free, dairy-free lifestyle! Fresh, plant-based, clean food is the foundation of the Paleo diet, and it’s exactly what we do at G&T!
If you’re tired of the same old jerky, pop into G&T for a cold-pressed juice, a fresh smoothie, chia pudding, the turmeric cauliflower soup or even grain-free granola! Crackers, anyone? We stock two Paleo-friendly varieties!
The Pomegranate Kale Salad is a great way to switch up lunch or dinner if your version of Paleo includes a little quinoa. While pretty filling on it’s own, you could also bring it home and throw on some additional protein.
Need some workout support? Our RISE cold-brewed coffee is a seriously yummy boost of energy that could help you tackle that daunting fitness class.
‘Paleo’ and ‘plant-based’ go together like almond butter and jelly. Feel free to ask our staff or health coaches how G&T can support your lifestyle and healthy eating goals!
