The ancient Egyptians knew that feeding liver to a patient would help cure night blindness, an illness now known to be caused by a vitamin A deficiency.

According a Wikipedia article, “A vitamin is an organic compound required as a nutrient in tiny amounts by an organism. In other words, an organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when it cannot be synthesized in sufficient quantities by an organism, and must be obtained from the diet”.

Eating vitamin enriched foods is essential to cultivate a healthy and proper nutrition habits. Vitamin D, for example, is essential for bones development and also prevents rickets, the same way vitamin E prevents sterility and muscular dystrophy.

Eating Everywhere Green Kitchen Review! Healthy Dishes and Vegan Cupcakes

On August 1, 2010, in Brooklyn, Green Kitchen, Green kitchen Reviews, Natural Foods, by Green Kitchen Brooklyn

Sam Jacobs, writer for the national foodie guide Eating Everywhere, stopped by Green Kitchen recently to check out some of our dishes. It looks as though we may have converted another patron to our healthy dishes…and our vegan cupcakes! Take a look below and check out the official link to the review as well.

From Eating Everywhere:

I don’t like health food.  Aside from the mental image of boring, tasteless entrees, tiny portions, and vegetable overloads the fact that I know that I can eat whatever I please, but in smaller portions coupled with exercise makes me wonder, “why bother?”  The fact of the matter is though that most of us who say we’ll slash our portions and work out 6 days a week end up leaving 4 fries at the bottom of the greasy bag, hitting the gym Monday morning and Saturday afternoon, and mixing in a good portion of alcohol.  So healthier restaurants do become necessary, and some like Green Kitchen Cafe in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn even taste pretty good!

Lunch counter / juice bar / cafe / grill establishments like Green Kitchen seem to be growing in popularity, and with good reason.  Our nation’s determination to slim down while not sacrificing flavor is forcing restaurateurs to be more creative, and make things taste good.  Another such place, Nature’s Grill with two Brooklyn locations in Bay Ridge and Cobble Hill near me offer a similar dining experience, but fall short in the flavor department.  I always feel nourished after eating there, but never quite satisfied.

For my meal at Green Kitchen I started with a Maui Mawi smoothie – a thick, healthy shake made with strawberries, coconut milk, banana, & pineapple juice.  I normally drink these sorts of drinks after a workout with a scoop of protein, but this was pretty good.  I came with an appetite, so it was suggested that I order a burger, the bison burger in particular.  I like bison burgers, and this one held up against its diner brethren.  It comes on a hearty, multigrain roll with a side of mescalin greens. I added a slice of cheddar, and smeared on some Dijon mustard.  It was really good, and wasn’t lacking that “flavor” that so many healthy options tend to be missing.

My dinner companion ordered herself the Aurora juice – a mix of apple, grapefruit, & pear, and the strawberry mozzarella salad. She seemed to be enjoying the salad, but wasn’t too hungry, so she wrapped it to take it home.  Normally I’d consider finishing other people’s meals, but my burger was quite filling.

Below is a picture of a Strawberry Mozzarella Salad

We also shared dessert – a plate of three vegan cupcakes.  I know what you’re thinking, “really Sam? Vegan?”  Yes!  These three little fellas were delicious, moist, and sweet, but not too sweet.  There was a good mix of fruit flavors, and chocolate, and mint.  Though skeptical at first, my dinner companion had no trouble finishing her share of the cupcakes.

Below is a picture of Vegan Cupcakes

If you’re in Park Slope around the 9th Street area, and you have a hankering for some healthy, decently priced, and delicious food I highly recommend checking out Green Kitchen.  I will surely be back myself.

How Foursquare Works? And HowYou Can Use It With Green Kitchen

On July 25, 2010, in Green Kitchen, Natural Foods, by Green Kitchen Brooklyn

Foursquare is undoubtedly the hottest of the location sharing apps. Outshining counterparts such as  Brightkite, Google Latitude, and Gowalla in recent months, Foursquare has brought the “social” aspect back into social networking. Using the increasingly popular smart phone, users of Foursquare download the app and “check in” at various locations. How Does FourSqure App Work

Below is apicture of what a Foursqure App looks like on AT&T

The added perk of the service is that users can leave tips for other patrons of establishments to which they’ve checked in. For instance, a user may offer and share commentary regarding dishes that other customers of a restaurant should be encouraged to try based on their personal recommendations. However, the icing on the cake is becoming the “mayor” of a location. If you’re unfamiliar with the meaning of the online title, the person who has checked into a specific location the most amount of times is crowned “mayor” of that location.

Gary Vaynerchuck speaking about the importance of  FourSqure at SXSW

Businesses are increasingly taking interest in rewarding their mayors by offering them specials on their products and offerings. At Green Kitchen, we’re currently offering our mayor a large smoothie for free! If you happen to be our Foursquare mayor, come in and ask for Mike. He and the rest of our team will be happy to reward you for your continued patronage. We at Green Kitchen intend to remain connected to the social media revolution and look forward to keeping in step with our customers both on and offline. It’s not social media without the “social” aspect!

If you’re an outdoors enthusiast or part of the urban homestead movement, you may spend countless hours tending a garden. As part of the current intrigue surrounding green lifestyle habits, you may even be considering starting a rooftop garden or volunteering with a local community garden like 6/15 in Park Slope. As proper nutrition is the cornerstone to possessing a healthy body, the same is true for soil in any garden. Good farmers know that crops need to be rotated at differing intervals to ensure that the soil is not depleted of its proper vitamins. They also know that adding nutrient-rich compost to the soil helps to add necessary life giving ingredients to the soil. An energy boost, if you will.

Green Kitchen is now offering our “good waste” to the community in the hopes that you’ll feed your plants with the same healthy foods that we feed our customers! Stop in today to receive our fruit peels, seeds, and vegetable cores. What we can’t use  it after making your delicious drinks and healthy salads, we invite you to take home free of charge  to add to the compost for your personal or community garden. Treat your flowers and vegetation to the “meal” they deserve. As much as plants in the city give to us, we at Green Kitchen strive to give back to them as well.

Stop by or call Mike at1347-729-4423  to get your free compost! Supplies are sure to last!

What’s the Juice on Acai? Green Kitchen Carries Acai Smoothies

On June 24, 2010, in Green Kitchen, Natural Foods, by Green Kitchen Brooklyn
0

Acai is an Amazonian berry that has recently gained a multitude of media attention for its smooth flavor, coupled with its abundance of  medicinal properties. Pronounced ah-sah-ee, the purple berry is harvested from the Acai palm. According to SPINS, American spending on the fruit is mostly for the purposes of losing weight, controlling the affects of aging, and increasing energy. In 2008, as a guest on the Oprah Winfrey show, Dr. Mehmet Oz proclaimed that the berry has twice the antioxidant effects of the blueberry. Could this mean that it won’t be long before acai pancakes are all the rage?

Below is a picture of Acai Berries

At Green Kitchen, we happily promote the acai berry with the contents of our Acai Berry smoothie. Also included in the drink are the nutrient rich juices of apple, strawberry, and banana. Chock full of fruits and vegetables, smoothies in general can be considered as meals-on-the-go, not even requiring an accompanying meal. With our Acai Berry smoothie, as with all of our smoothies, you have the option to include fat-free yogurt for and extra $1, and a scoop of protein for $1.50. Our smoothies are $4 for a small 16oz, $4.75 for a 20oz, and only $5.50 for a large 24oz. You can’t beat this price in Park Slope, especially when it contains the elusive delicacy that is the acai berry.
