How to be a Healthy Hound

Taylor Elton • September 30, 2017

Think eating at a cafeteria means you have to eat unhealthily? Think again! By opting for the nutricious options at Boulder, Iggy’s, and other places, you can still maintain a healthy lifestyle while eating on campus!

Boulder Garden Cafe

The salad bar is always stocked with tons of fruits, veggies, and beans, so be sure to stock up every time you go!
There are always two soup options available—opt for the non-creamy soups.
At the sandwich line, pick multigrain or whole-wheat bread and load up on veggies to make your sandwich extra healthy! Also pick avocado over mayo for your spread.
The entree and sides section always offers a variety of roasted vegetables, healthy grains, and other options.
Always take a piece of fruit from the fruit cart!
If you’re getting a burger, opt for the high-in-fiber black bean burger, topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.
Instead of soda or juice, opt for water or tea (you can usually find lemons near the tea and coffee section to put in your drinks!)

Boulder 2.0

The Mediterranean bar has a plethora of veggies, greens, and avocado! Take some hummus and pita for a healthy replacement for potato chips.
If downstairs is too hectic you can grab your soup from upstairs, opting for broth-based soups.
There’s always a healthy option at the hot deli sandwich line, like grilled portobello sandwiches with a side of potatoes and veggies!

Iggy’s Market

Check out the salad bar, sandwich line, and entrees just like at Boulder.
Always grab from fruit from the fruit and granola bar (maybe make a parfait!)
At the market, look for pressed juices like Naked instead of soda.
Opt for gluten-free selections when buying staples like rice and pasta since they’ll have less additives than conventional products.

Green Peel

Smoothies and acai bowls are great options—the more veggies and fruits you can add the better! Try seeds like chia and flax for topping – high in fiber, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids!
