At UtopiabrFood & Fitness, the food is just as fresh as the concept. Not only is it abrgreat place to get your eat on (without any pesky guilt), it's also an exercisebrstudio. Here's the basic concept: Work out for 20 minutes twice a week and getbrinto the best shape of your life. If your New Year's resolution included wordsbrsuch as “get healthy” or “lose weight,” you've indeed found your utopia.
When it comesbrto overall health and wellbeing, Utopia brings diet and exercise to thebrforefront. The company's six-week program is designed for adults who are shortbron time but want to stay on track with their fitness goals. When you show upbrready to sweat, a Utopia certified trainer will help you determine the bestbrworkout and your exact caloric needs. After six weeks, you can expect to seebrresults when you pair the carefully crafted workouts with the chef-craftedbrcuisine.
The working out part is up tobryou, but we got a taste of some of Utopia's dishes that are honest-to-goodnessbrgood. No boring lettuce or tasteless chicken; just flavor-packed,brnutrient-dense meals such as enchiladas, turkey wraps and even hashbrownbrcasserole ready to heat and eat. You don't need to be a member or part of thebrworkout program to enjoy, either. All are welcome to stop in for a healthybrgrab-and-go meal.
So what's the secret to thebrgreat-tasting, good-for-you fare at Utopia? Four-star executive chef MikebrSmith. Not only is he passionate about food, he has mastered how to cut thebrcalories without skimping on the yum. Whether you're seeking a quick pick-me-upbrafter Pilates or a wholesome dinner for the family, Utopia has plenty ofbrsatisfying options in a variety of portion sizes.
We particularly enjoyed the TurkeybrBolognese. A lighter version of the Italian classic, it's made withbrslow-simmered lean turkey, veggies, herbs and a creamy, homemade sauce servedbrover perfectly al dente pasta. The dish packs all the rich, meaty flavors webrlove, but it's deceptively healthy. If you're in the mood for Mexican food, webrrecommend the Naked Chicken Enchiladas. Spicy chicken breast in a zestybrenchilada sauce is served over rice and black beans sans the tortilla. It's abrway to crush your craving and still be healthy. Finish off your meal with abrtouch of something sweet such as muffins (the chocolate chocolate chip is ourbrfavorite), pudding or angel food cake.
With healthy meals and exercisebroptions in one quick stop, Utopia Food & Fitness makes it deliciously easybrto blast your fitness goals this year. Count us in!
