The new healthy fast-food chain, LYFE Kitchen (that stands for Love Your Food Everyday), which we first told you about in February, is finally set to open its flagship location in Palo Alto (167 Hamilton Avenue) on October 12. Today we bring the full menu, created in part by Oprah-approved chef Art Smith, which is full of delicious sounding breakfast and lunch/dinner options — including a surprising number of vegan dishes — all of which are under 600 calories. Check it out below.
LYFE Kitchen is the brainchild of a couple of former McDonald’s executives who sought help from Art Smith, who recently lost over 100 pounds himself, and consulting chef Tal Ronnen, to create the menu. In addition to the dishes being under 600 calories each, none of them has more than 1000 miligrams of sodium, and most have much less.
We can’t show you prices just yet, but we imagine you can find those here as the opening approaches. (Also, that link will show you better which items are vegan and/or gluten-free.)
