Meatless Monday’s healthy habit is all about SPRING CLEANING – we “clean house”, like washing the windows and lots more when we do spring cleaning, but why not cleanse this wonderful body of ours by doing some simple and natural detox steps? Our bodies are designed to clean out toxins on their own, but we have overloaded those systems with our lifestyles, and the environment we live in – so stay tuned all week to learn simple hacks to detox! First, jump start your spring-cleaning detox with a great 1-, 2- or 3-day juice cleanse from Fresh Healthy Cafe’!

You may remember that in 2020, the FDA called for the immediate withdrawal of a popular acid reflux medication called Zantac because it had high levels of NDMA, a contaminant that has a cancer risk exceeding many potent carcinogens, including asbestos. In the FDA’s decision to pull Zantac off the shelves, they stated that the NDMA levels were like what you would expect to be exposed to if you ate grilled or smoked meats…. what?!! Yes, they feel ninety-six nanograms a day is acceptable, and Zantac had one hundred. Half a chicken breast contains 110. :/ It is a great reason to give meatless Monday a try today!

If you’re like most people, you’ve likely crafted your own New Year’s resolution. One common goal people commit to is making healthier choices – from hitting the gym regularly to changing your diet altogether.

When people go to the gym, they focus on which routines can improve certain parts of their bodies. When it comes to eating healthy, however, people tend to think about the food they should be avoiding. While that’s a big part of eating healthy, it’s only half the story. In fact, it’s time you focus on what you should be eating – that’s where superfoods come in.

A few months ago, we visited a fantastic eatery in Cape Girardeau named Fresh Healthy Cafe. We tried an array of vegan dishes that did not taste vegan. We loved the place.

The last time we were there, owner Rick Hetzel told us a tale of his new vegan burger called the Beyond Burger – he claimed it taste just like the real thing. We made a promise that we would be back as soon as his super burger was on the menu. Today we keep that promise.

San Marcos now has a new healthy fast food option on North City Drive, just across the street from CSUSM, where local residents Nancee and Dave have opened the first Fresh Healthy Cafe in San Diego County.

We are thrilled to announce the opening our Novi Michigan location was an absolute hit! Already receiving an overwhelming amount of positive feedback, Brad Valls and Mike Kruckeberg, new Master Franchisees in the Novi community, won’t be catching their breath any time soon. Located in the family-oriented shopping and dining destination, Twelve Oaks Mall, we are ready to serve up fresh eats to northwest Detroit just in time for the holidays!

Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays are bursting with seasonal veggies like brussels sprouts, cabbage, squash and especially pumpkins.  There’s more to pumpkins that jack o’lanterns and pies! Look better and feel stronger with more pumpkin added to your diet.

Summertime ending doesn’t mean the end of keeping active. Life becoming more scheduled with work and school, can make it tougher to commit to. Have you ever noticed how all the great television shows and movies are released towards the Fall-Winter season? Most of us tend to spend more time indoors this time of year curled up on the sofa with a good book or the TV remote. The best time to NetFlix and chill is here but there are other ways to keep fit this fall!

At Fresh Healthy Cafe, our restaurant owners are much more than just franchise owners; they’re family!

We are so happy to have a new addition to the Fresh family. Meet Nicole and her husband Jason from Daphne who have just opened the first Fresh Healthy Cafe in the State, located in Spanish Fort, Alabama.

The couple first met in college in what some may call the quintessential American date, at a college football game. Although it wasn’t actually their date that Nicole was on. While on a “friend date” Nicole remembered the moment she first saw Jason in the crowd.
