Vegan While Out: Busboys & Poets

I love everything about Busboys-laid-back vibe, fun music, beautiful artwork, and a lot of vegan choices on the menu.

Last week I ate dinner there with a couple of my DC friends. Ladies night!

 After peeking around their library I headed over and drove right in...

 

Falafel sandwich with cucumber, hummus, lettuce, tomato on pita & French fries

Delish!

I ate half to save room for dessert and left my leftovers at the restaurant. FAIL!

 

Vegan brownie & a scoop of vegan vanilla icream

I was in dessert heaven :-)

Vegan While Out: Chop't (Washington, DC)

I was very hungry and a bit overwhelmed by the menu, so I settled for the Vegetarian Powerhouse-broccoli, edamame, carrots, sunflower seeds, walnuts, craisins and apples chop’t with spinach and romaine lettuce and spa balsamic vinaigrette.

The dressings have:

"No sugar. No high-fructose corn syrup. Our dressings that are sweetened are made with honey or organic agave nectar." Sweet!

I appreciate that a fresh cutting board is used for every salad to protect those with food allergies and special diets.

After eating, I took a moment to look at the menu again and realized I should have chosen the Create Your Own option with tofu, beets, carrots, black beans and avocado. I know all of those ingredients don't sound like they go well together, but I like to throw a little bit of everything into my salads.

Great salad and the company is committed to the health of children by offering donations, equipment and recipes to Wellness in the Schools.

 

Extra bonus: Sort your trash for recycling

 

Chop it up next time you're in the DC area!
