Along with this offering, Disney Springs will be providing many healthier menu items for guests to enjoy. Below are just a few options:
Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC – Erin McKenna’s Bakery focuses on guests with gluten, dairy, egg and soy sensitivities, the health-minded, and those with allergies who are not often able to find delicious bakery items for them to indulge in. Everything at Erin McKenna’s is vegan, gluten-free, and sure to put a smile on your face!
Frontera Cocina – The Taqueria Ensalada features Arcadian lettuce, poblano rajas, carrot, radish, avocado, tortilla strips, Cotija cheese and an avocado-lime vinaigrette. Spice it up by adding grilled chicken breast and the Mojo garlic grilled shrimp!
Planet Hollywood – The Hollywood Bowl is a delicious salad that features Romaine lettuce, house-roasted turkey breast, hard-boiled egg, avocado, Roma tomato, and cucumber. It comes with bacon, swiss cheese, and croutons, but feel free to omit those if you’re looking for a lower calorie meal. The recommended dressing is Thousand Island, however balsamic vinaigrette tastes just as good!
The Polite Pig – The Polite Caesar and Cobb Salads (excluding the bacon) are satisfying. The Chicken Salad Wrap is also a great choice for those that want a handheld option. The Market Sides, such as the Roasted Beats, Tomato Watermelon Salad, Grilled Street Corn, and Polite Baked Beans are great to create a meal out of. Little ones can enjoy healthier options, such as the Roast Smoked Turkey Breast and Grilled Skinless Chicken Breast.
Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant – The Shepherd Went Vegan is a delicious plant-based Shepherd’s Pie. The Raglan Risotto is a flavorful vegetarian dish that includes wild mushrooms, glazed baby vegetables, tarragon, and shaved parmesan. Raglan Road also features many popular menu items that are gluten-free.
Yesake – The Tofu Power Bowl is a mix of organic tofu, avocado, spinach, carrot, cabbage, cucumber, tempura crunch, and wasabi ponzu. Feel free to modify this bowl to your liking!
These are just a few of the many healthier food choices you can find throughout Disney Springs. Definitely ask your server for recommendations for other items! You can also ask for modifications at most restaurants, such as no butter, grilled chicken instead of fried, and dressing on the side.
Along with these, Disney Springs offers some relaxing products for your wellbeing to create a calm home atmosphere.
Basin – Basin products are created with nourishing ingredients that are safe for you and the environment. They provide products such as shampoo bars, bath bombs, and shower bombs which all have fresh, calming aromas that will add some relaxation to your day.
