Taking classes during the summer and looking for healthy food options? Here are some favorites on and off campus to check out. 

On campus

The Spot Grill located on campus is a place to find healthy meal options. It offers “made to order burgers” which you can sub meat for a veggie burger or have a leaner  meat such as a turkey burger. 

The soup at The Spot also offers vegetarian options; with salad station that features salmon and falafel being among the many options offered. 

Off campus

Sweetgreen is another place to find healthy food options. Sweetgreen is located on Washtenaw Ave, only five minutes from campus.  

Sweetgreen offers a range of organic “create your own” bowl and salad options. Chickpeas, sweet  potatoes, cucumber, tomato, salmon, mushrooms, chicken, kale, almonds, and broccoli are just a few of the many ingredients they have to choose from.

Core Life Eatery is an additional option for those who want to add nutritional value to their eating habits. Core Life Eatery offers salads, bowls, wraps, and fresh hand-crafted beverages, priding itself on serving GMO-Free food and having an organic menu. 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a healthy diet is essential for good health and nutrition; while also helping to protect you from diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.  

Give these food spots a try the next time your body asks for fuel.
