Their menu is specifically described as accommodating to GLP-1-friendly diets, featuring items that help maintain muscle mass, provide sustained energy, and minimize gastrointestinal side effects.
Here are the best, menu-based options at Salt 2.0 to support a GLP-1 lifestyle:
Top Choices at Salt 2.0 (Brookfield)
Build Your Own "Market Grain & Salad Bowls" (Best Option): This is the most customizable choice.
Base: Opt for mixed greens or a light grain base (like brown rice) for fiber.
Protein: Select Pulled Chicken Breast, Blackened Shrimp, Flank Steak, or Tuna Poke for high protein to support muscle maintenance.
Add-ins: Include nutrient-dense toppings like fajita veggies (peppers/onions) or black beans.
Avoid: Heavy sauces or excessive cheese, which can cause discomfort due to delayed gastric emptying.
Protein-Packed Salads: Start with a salad and add one of the lean proteins mentioned above.
Sides & Small Plates:
Side Salad: Mixed greens, carrots, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
6 oz Side of Guacamole (No Chips): A great source of healthy fats.
6 oz Side of Hummus (No Chips): A high-fiber, high-protein snack option.
Cup of Chili (6oz): A vegan and gluten-free, 3-bean chili option.
Tips for Ordering at Salt 2.0
Ask for Double Protein: To meet the recommended 80–120g of protein daily, utilize their option to add 2X the protein for a small charge.
Modify Your Meal: Because items are made from scratch, you can request lighter sauces or no cheese.
Smaller Portions: Take advantage of the ability to order smaller portions, which are better tolerated.
Avoid High-Fat Add-ons: Limit queso and large amounts of creamy dressings, as high-fat, greasy meals can trigger nausea on GLP-1s.
