With a slogan that states, “fast food…the healthy way”, Green Day Café is a great place to enjoy a quality meal while at the same time feeling good about the fact that you are contributing to the preservation of the environment.  The restaurant is truly committed to “going green”, as their serving utensils, trays, napkins (and even the straws) are made out of recyclable or environmentally safe products, and the cups are made from corn (yes, corn).

The menu consists of multigrain wraps, soups, salads, and honey wheat bread sandwiches, with sides that include crunchy broccoli salad and terra chips (a vegetable alternative to potato chips).  I truly enjoyed my wrap with turkey, cranberries, romaine, walnuts and raspberry vinaigrette.  I also had the opportunity to try the buffalo chicken wrap which had a bit of spice with the gorgonzola, tomatoes and romaine.  The soup of the day was tomato lentil and was made with fresh ingredients. All wraps and salads come with a choice of terra chips or crunchy broccoli salad (a broccoli twist to cold slaw), and a meal is less than $10.

The staff was friendly and there is a dining room was clean with free drink refills.  But if you want to enjoy the meal in the comfort of your own home, they have the signature fast food trait – a drive thru, so you cannot go wrong here.  I must say that the food at this place is a very healthy alternative to the usual fast food run, and it provides the perfect argument to those who say that one must sacrifice taste in order to eat healthy.
