At Enjoy Pure Food + Drink, our number one priority is creating menu items that not only taste phenomenal but also nourish your body before or after a tough workout. 

Whether you’re coming from a challenging yoga class or a sweaty, cardio-tastic training session, we’ve got plenty of culinary options to replenish your energy from the inside out. Here are a few menu items to keep your eye on or try out after you hit the gym.

Listen To Your Cravings

Athletes and trainers know that after a workout, it’s beneficial to consume meals rich in protein and carbohydrates to aid in muscle recovery and replenish energy stores. Enjoy Pure Food + Drink offers several menu items geared to align with these nutritional needs, especially if you’re hungry. (And, really, who isn’t after a demanding gym sesh?)

Our top suggestions include:

• Take on the World Bowl: This warm bowl features red and white quinoa, avocado, kale, broccoli, beets, almonds, hemp seeds, and a ginger-miso dressing. Quinoa provides a complete protein source, while the vegetables and healthy fats support recovery.
• Ahi Poke (GF): This dish includes sesame-crusted seared ahi tuna, fresh mango, pickled ginger, avocado, cucumber, sweet potatoes, and brown rice, combining lean protein with wholesome carbs.
• Great Catch (GF): Featuring Alaskan wild-caught salmon, sautéed kale, caramelized sweet potatoes, onion, and celery with a citrus-ginger vinaigrette, this option provides omega-3 fatty acids alongside complex carbohydrates.

Quench Your Thirst and Squelch Those Hunger Pangs

If a protein-packed, robust meal isn’t on your radar after a workout, many of our patrons indulge in any number of our powerhouse smoothies or fresh-squeezed juices. It’s an optimum way to refuel and recharge accordingly. In fact, they’re ideal after a dynamic HIIT class or demanding dance class.

• Mighty Mojo Smoothie: A blend of raw coconut water, banana, almond butter, cacao, maca, chia seeds, and Vega® chocolate protein powder, this smoothie offers a balance of protein and carbohydrates, making it suitable for post-exercise replenishment.
• Recovery + Focus Tonic: This tonic includes MCT oil, turmeric, coconut water, green apple, black pepper, and wheatgrass. The ingredients are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and can aid in recovery post-workout.

What You Eat After Your Workout Can Help You Stay Swolesome!

At Enjoy Pure Food + Drink, we’re known for our vegan and keto-friendly options. As our famished guests tell us time and time again, most folks have a go-to menu item they repeatedly order after working out. But one overall crowd favorite seems to be at the top of everyone’s list. (Oh, and did we mention, it’s also vegan?!)

• Clean Livin’ Smoothie Bowl: Combines açaí, banana, blueberries, Vega® vanilla protein, and almond milk, topped with granola and flax seeds. This bowl provides antioxidants, protein, and fiber to support muscle recovery and energy restoration.

Finish Out Strong

It’s important to remember your body burns glycogen (stored carbohydrates) for fuel during exercise. Eating complex carbs like quinoa, brown rice, or sweet potatoes helps restore these energy stores, keeping you energized for the rest of the day.
In terms of reducing muscle soreness and inflammation, it’s important to incorporate nutrient-dense foods like berries, leafy greens, and omega-3-rich foods (like salmon or chia seeds) help reduce inflammation and speed up recovery.
And finally, exercise leads to fluid and electrolyte loss through sweat. Drinking water, coconut water, or our smoothies packed with potassium and magnesium (like bananas, nuts, or leafy greens) helps prevent dehydration and muscle cramps.
If you have questions, our helpful staff is always on hand to answer any post-workout nutrition questions you might have. We are committed to serving nutrient-rich foods that fuel your body and mind.
