For the last week of National Nutrition Month, UC Berkeley Dining encourages you to add more color to your plate! Colorful vegetables provide a range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber!

Our dietitian recommends stopping at the salad bar during every meal, and loading up on nutrient-dense foods like veggies, legumes, grains, eggs and cheese, and a variety of dressings.

Your healthy habits can extend beyond just National Nutrition Month, and UC Berkeley Dining strives to always provide you with the food your body needs to thrive!

Week three of National Nutrition Month is centered around staying nourished on any budget! For example, the New Orleans Black-Eyed Pea Stew served at the allergen-friendly stations provides slow-digesting carbs, iron, folate, and protein, which keeps your energy steady and satisfied. Planning your meals wisely ensures that you can stay nourished and save your spending! 🌟

⭐️🗓️ National Nutrition Month Week Two: Find Advice Backed by Science! UC Berkeley Dining values science and transparency in all of our menus. 🍔🥗🥪

One of our favorite menu items is our Halal Baked Chicken, served at Café 3. Our Halal chicken has a full transparent ingredient and allergen list, including information about hand-slaughtered vs. machine-slaughtered sourcing. You’ll also find nutrition facts such as calories and protein per portion, and we prepare this Mediterranean-style dish with an emphasis on lean protein, herbs, and balanced fats!

If you visit the UC Berkeley Dining website, you can find detailed ingredient lists and clear allergen disclosures for menu items, as well as access to Registered Dietitians who can help you with personalized, science-backed guidance.

No matter the reason, we want to provide you with the facts you need to live your best busy life at UC Berkeley. 💙💛

March is National Nutrition Month, and this week’s theme is “Power your day with nutrition.” Our dietitian’s pick to power your day with nutrition is the Avocado Egg Toast 🥑🍳🍞 on Sourdough, served at Brown’s every weekday morning!

Avocado provides heart-healthy fats that keep you full, eggs offer high-quality protein, and sourdough bread improves digestion thanks to natural fermentation.

If you’re looking for a balance that supports focus, stamina, and mood throughout the day, the avocado egg toast is the right pick for you! 💚
