Summer feels like it's here - but it actually doesn't start for almost a month! But with the hotter temps also comes less clothing (#summerbodies) - so let's see what kind of HEALTHY food finds we can dig up at Liberty Center!
With a beautiful courtyard and tons of outdoor patio options - Liberty Center is a great place to shop or grab a bite to eat. So I went on a quest and found some really healthy options around the mall!
KONA GRILL
First up - Kona Grill! They have the garage doors that open up to the outside and it's so nice - you're in the shade but you still get the fresh air!
I chose the Poke Naruto Roll with Tuna (240 calories) - it was super light and crunchy with the cucumber wrapper. (avocado, red onion, shrimp, cucumber wrapper, sriracha, green onion, sesame seeds, sweet sesame sauce, tuna). I loved it and since hubby doesn't love sushi and it was so light - I might have eaten the whole thing. That's the nice thing about sushi - there are a lot of really healthy options - so get a few rolls and share. Just avoid the ones with the mayo/aioli sauces if you're trying to be healthy.
Best choices: Poke Naruto Roll with Tuna (240 calories), Firecracker Roll (210 calories)
Kona Grill --- located across from movie theater --- Menu --- Nutrition Info --- 7524 Gibson St.
CANTINA LAREDO
I adore Mexican food - it's probably my favorite of all ethnic foods but finding something fairly healthy isn't always easy. There's just so much cheese...and cheese...and oh CHEESE!
We started out with Ceviche (890 calories) - which isn't too bad - especially if you're sharing it amongst friends. If you want to go lower cal - skip the chips. There are some calories in avocado and olives - but those are the "good fats"! A lighter option from the appetizer menu would be the Ahi Tuna Tacos (350 calories).
Best choices: Ahi Tuna Tacos (350 calories), Fish of the Day Mahi Lunch (310 calories)
Cantina Laredo --- located next to hotel --- Menu --- Nutrition Info --- 7125 Fountainview Dr.
RUSTY BUCKET
They started me off with their Citrus Roasted Salmon which was DECADENT! It was prepared to a perfect medium rare and served with a side of broccoli, quinoa and farro salad with a citrus vinaigrette. I got two bites of this before my husband inhaled it! He even ate that salad without asking me what was in it (that NEVER happens)!
Best choices: Harvest Salad, Citrus Roasted Salmon
Rusty Bucket --- next to movie theater --- Menu --- 7524 Bales St.
BIBIBOP
Best choice: Salad + chicken + carrots + cucumber + corn + kale + kimchi + teriyaki (322 calories)
Bibibop --- located on frontage road down --- Menu --- Nutrition Info --- 7616 Blake St.

DEG'S FLAME GRILLED CHICKEN
While Bibibop is quick - there are times when you're food courting it - right?! And even then - you want healthy options! Deg's Flame Grilled Chicken is the perfect spot for that. You can get a two piece meal for under 400 calories.
Best Choices: 1/4 chicken leg & thigh (170 calories) + healthy fries (217 calories)
