AM Superfoods Bowl (sub gluten-free bread) with Kale Tonic Fresh Juice

First Watch, 150 E 9th St, Tyler

AM Superfoods Bowl: Coconut milk chia seed pudding with fresh bananas, berries, blackberry preserves and housemade granola. Served with whole grain artisan toast topped with almond butter and Maldon sea salt.

Packed with nutrients, this meal is an excellent option for those with gluten or dairy allergies and for those who are on an elimination diet. First Watch substitutes gluten-free bread at no charge. The chia pudding is dairy-free. It’s also great inspiration for easy meals you can make at home!

Avoid this meal if you are on a low carb diet. If you are not needing to restrict carbs for disease management (such as for diabetes or cognitive decline), this may be a healthy indulgence that can be balanced with intermittent fasting or a nice low carb salad with protein and healthy fats later in the day.
