Blue Smokehouse doesn’t have an endless list of healthy choices, but they made the “best healthy restaurants list” because the healthy options they do have are exceptional.
The Southern Border Salad at Blue Smokehouse
My absolute favorite is the Southern Border Salad with pulled chicken. Just read the list of ingredients in this salad:
- Spring mix
- Black beans
- Corn
- Guacamole
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Pickled Red Onions (This alone makes an ordinary salad extraordinary in my opinion)
- Cheese
- Tortilla strips (if your want to make your salad even healthier, you can omit these)
The huge bed of greens add quantity without adding extra calories. Plus after eating all that fiber and protein, you will leave Blue Smokehouse feeling full and satisfied. Being a volume eater myself, I like to fill my plate with leafy greens. It’s a great way to eat a nice big meal without eating an incredibly high calorie meal. (By the way, I lost 50 pounds by mindfully eating Big Mindful Meals. You can read more in my books, Big Mindful Meals and 18 Weeks to a Healthier Happier More Purposeful Life).
Blue Smokehouse has several other healthy options. You could get a pulled chicken with a healthy side or you can choose one of their other salads. Healthy sides include collard greens, slaw, and a side salad.
The Blue Smokehouse Atmosphere
The casual yet modern sleek vibe of Blue Smokehouse hits the mark perfectly. I love everything from the blue glow of the lighting to the light-colored high-gloss wooden tables. You can order at the counter or the bar and sit in either cozy booths, tables, or bar stools. You have a view of the multiple T.V.s from just about any location.
