Spring weather naturally makes us crave lighter, fresher meals with seasonal ingredients. This season is the perfect time of year to refresh your plate with nutritious options that don’t sacrifice flavor!
At Colony Diner, you can enjoy satisfying food that fits your health goals and taste delicious. Whether you’re looking to eat cleaner, reduce calories or try something new, we have plenty of healthier picks for spring.
Start Smart with Breakfast
Start your day with meals that fuel your body and energize your routine. Our vegan oatmeal is a go-to breakfast for those looking to enjoy a plant-based and wholesome meal. Topped with your choice of seasonal fruits and chopped nuts, it’s full of fiber and slow-burning energy to keep you going all morning long.
If you’re craving something more savory, try one of our egg white omelets. They’re light in texture yet filling, packed with colorful vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms. Egg whites are low in calories and high in protein, making them an excellent option for those watching their fat intake.
Power Up with Protein and Veggies
One of the easiest ways to lighten up your meal is by focusing on lean protein and colorful vegetables. Add grilled chicken to our Veggie Wrap, packed with steamed spinach, broccoli, roasted red peppers and mushrooms in a whole wheat tortilla for more fiber. Our Veggie Quesadilla is another great option, also available dairy-free with vegan cheddar cheese.
Refresh with a Crisp Salad
Nothing says spring like a fresh, vibrant salad. Choose from classic garden greens or one of our gourmet options like Balsamic Grilled Chicken, Strawberry Salad or California with grilled chicken, sliced avocado and hard boiled egg. Perfect for a refreshing lunch or healthy dinner, our salads keep things light without skimping on flavor.
Wind Down with a Healthier Dinner
Dinner at a diner doesn’t have to be heavy. Our Roast Half Spring Chicken is a perfect example of a balanced evening meal with tender, juicy chicken, fresh vegetables and a house salad. It’s a comforting, lean protein-rich option dinner that’s full of flavor!
Eating lighter is all about balance and making thoughtful choices that fit your lifestyle. Whether you’re sitting down to a meal or grabbing something on the go, our menu makes it easy to enjoy wholesome food that still hits the spot.
