With the ever-increasing health awareness among customers and the Lenten season upon us, Conti’s Bakeshop and Restaurant has introduced its latest additions to its menu, the Healthy Bowls. The new menu items give more deliciously healthy options not just for the faithful flock but for anyone with a taste for something fresh and hearty.
Conti’s Healthy Grain Bowls are similar to rice toppings, but instead of white rice, these seafood meals are paired with locally-sourced grains called adlai — nutrient-packed, energy-boosting, protein-rich, and low in glucose. They’re also gluten-free.
Rich and creamy, the Scallop Adlai Risotto features savory tender-seared scallops mixed with earthy shiitake and fresh button mushrooms. The Garlic Squid option has soft and tender squid sautéed in olive oil together with garlic, parsley, and cherry tomatoes on top of adlai while the Soy Ginger Shrimp is perfect for lovers of Asian flavor.
The Gourmet Greens signature dishes combine fresh greens, fruits, vegetables, and nuts with Conti’s own dressings, made in-house using farm-fresh ingredients. The Ensalada is a refreshing salad mix of crisp mustard leaves, red cherry tomatoes, green papaya, white radish, and salted egg, topped with Bicol’s pili nuts and served with a zesty bagoong vinaigrette.
The Squid Salad mixes tender squid with greens, cherry tomatoes, and alfalfa sprouts and is flavored with a citrusy soy-ginger vinaigrette.
Whether you’re keeping your figure beach-ready or maintaining your physical health in general, these meals will make it easier than ever to eat well.
