I’ve long been a fan of Corner Bakery Cafe. On days when things have been rough and I craved a bowl of hot soup, I made a b-line to my nearest Corner Bakery Cafe. While there were tons of options for me to choose, I ALWAYS ordered a combo with a 1/2 Tuscan Chicken Pomodori and a cup of Chicken Tortilla soup.
It was the cure for what ailed me, always. Although I felt like it was an indulgence with the tender chicken, melted cheese, sundried tomatoes and spinach perfectly panini-toasted then dipped in the tortilla soup, I later found out it was good for me! For under 600 calories, I could eat exactly what I wanted, how I wanted without feeling like I broke my weekly calorie count in one sitting. It was such a relief to have a dish I knew I could always enjoy without feeling like I had overindulged.
But what I also found out that there were more than 100 combos at Corner Bakery Cafe that like my soup and sandwich combo I dearly loved, that also were under 100 calories. It was like the sun had opened up a whole new world of options that I could eat here twice a week, every week and still wouldn’t repeat the same meal twice. No scrimping on taste, but thankfully, low in calorie!
So I decided to branch out for one of their limited edition salads, the Kale Caesar Salad with Chicken as well as their season bowl of Tuscan White Bean Soup.
The new Kale Caesar Salad with Chicken is made to order with a mix of fresh kale and romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing topped with all-natural grilled chicken. While you can never go wrong with a caesar salad, often I find out later the dressing was more than eating a hamburger. However, that’s not the case with this bowl of greens. The salad was meaty (even without the chicken), but with the chicken added, you definitely are full.
And the soup? I’m sorry to say is already gone from the menu to make room for their spring/summer soup menus, but if it’s any indication from the Tuscan White Bean Soup I enjoyed, it’s worth the wait. This vegetarian option with white beans and kale was filling all by itself and kept me warm from my head to my toes.
However, there’s 99 more combo options for you to choose from. Pick your favorite from their list or use the oh, so helpful 100 Under 600 Calculator to create your customized combo with sandwiches, soups and salads that you can eat without feeling complete – no matter what time of the year. #SacrificeNothing is actually their hashtag they ask customers to use when they take a photo of their healthy combo choices at Corner Bakery.
