The first CoreLife Eatery opened in Syracuse in 2015 with the mission to bring clean, healthy and great-tasting foods to the public in a convenient, fast-casual way. Today, there are more than 20 CoreLife locations up and running, with 30 more coming soon. Fortunately, there's already a location right here in the Valley.
“CoreLife has suggested menu selections as well as a build-your-own option,” says Richard Hart, general manager at CoreLife Eatery. To build your own, start with a green—pick from spinach, romaine, kale, arugula, mesclun (field greens) and napa cabbage—or a grain base—with options like tri-colored quinoa, organic brown rice and rice noodles. “[The] green bowl is a traditional salad that allows the guest to select two types of lettuce,” says Hart. “[The] grain bowl is a heartier salad selection. These offer a choice of lettuce and grain.” Then, add up to four ingredients, all of which are GMO-free, and contain zero trans fat, artificial colors, sweeteners or additives. Toppings include jalapeños, corn, broccoli, beets, sprouts, peppers, edamame and more. Finally, accessorize with what they call “premiums,” ranging from every kind of cheese imaginable to avocados, eggs, bacon, falafel and more. To top off your bowl, add a bone broth or dressing of your choice. “[The] broth bowl is kind of like a soup that eats like a meal,” says Hart.
The Southwest Grilled Chicken & Wild Rice Blend is a grain bowl made of antibiotic-free chicken, chopped romaine, avocado, jalapeños, tortilla strips, tomatoes, black beans, scallions, corn and shredded white cheddar. The team suggests pairing this bowl with their lime cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette dressing.
