We offer \u201cMindful\u201d meals at several of our retail and resident dining locations campus wide. These meals and entr\u00e9es will fill your student\u2019s plate and stomach with fewer than 600 calories. What makes these meals so filling are the use of whole grains and fiber through clean vegetables, meats, fruits and grains. Fall is right around the corner and students can warm up with our Mindful soups. All soups are significantly lower in sodium with an average of 700mg per 8-oz. Students are able to satisfy their sweet tooth with desserts that have fewer than 200 calories and at least 1g of fiber from less refined sugar and more fresh fruits. All Mindful meals are easily accessible and identified by a green apple.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EStudents can also take advantage of an allergen free concept located in both our Woodruff and North Ave Dining Restaurants.
