When you have food allergies, it is hard to find a restaurant which will offer you a variety of entrees to choose from. At Ecopolitan, however, that is hardly the case... A vegan or someone with an allergy to dairy, wheat, corn, soy, eggs or peanuts can choose literally anything from the menu and be safe.According to their website, they offer "healthy and sustainable dining by creating 100% uncooked, plant-based meals with 100% organically-grown ingredients and no additives, GMOs or toxic-processing. Our menu is completely vegan (no animal products), contains no refined sugars or flours, and is free of most allergens (no wheat, corn, soy, dairy, eggs or peanuts)". Pretty impressive and hard to find anywhere, really!
So, my family and I had breakfast there this past weekend. Most of us got smoothies and my dad ordered the Flaxjack "pancakes". Pictured on the right (yes, half eaten...I forgot to snap the picture until half way through breakfast) is my dad's breakfast plate which was to die for, yet extremely healthy for you. Two apple-walnut-flaxseed "pancakes" with sesame tahini, fresh fruit, date syrup and cinnamon.
I ordered the Coconut Supreme smoothie (pictured to the left) made with a young coconut base, pecans, dates, ginger and cinnamon. We all agreed that it taste like an oatmeal cookie. Really delicious and so good for you! Because of the pecans, it was filling and truly a meal in itself.Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and therefore we recommend the following:
- Pina Colada Smoothie
- Orange Julia Smoothie
- Coconut Supreme Smoothie
- Hazelnut "Fudge" Smoothie
- Fresh Orange/Pineapple Juice
- Flaxjack "Pancakes"
- Hummus & Flax crackers
