Good morning! I got up too early this morning and am continuing the OITNB binge watching. Luckily I have a lot to do today so I know I'll be getting off this couch at some point. One of those things is going to Cora's for brunch. This place is ridiculously busy and all the rage these days.
I'm not a calorie counter, but I do like to be able to compare menu items to choose a healthier option some times. I went on their website and there is no nutritional information at all. Even Tim Horton's tells you the amount of calories in a timbit. When you walk in all you see is the fruit that they cut up and the awesome smoothies.... healthy right? I think a lot of people are fooled by their "mission" to have a healthy breakfast. In fact, I think their mission has actually changed to just making sure to eat breakfast. Now you have to be in pretty big denial if you think eating crapes and waffles filled with custard is healthy, but then where are the healthier options? There's the poached egg with toast, fruit and cottage cheese but it's so over priced why would you not go for the egg's benedict or the french toast?
This is not a post hoping Cora's will incorporate healthy options, because their unhealthy options are delicious (you can treat it as your cheat day), but it is a post letting you know that a better healthy option for your brunch is probably staying home. I know when I use to be unhealthy, I would try to justify how these sugary, fatty things were okay. But they are not. So just admit it to yourself that the crepe with chocolate hazelnut spread is calorie filled, eat it anyway and keep yourself in check for the rest of the week. All about moderation people!
