Go vegetarian for a healthy high street lunch

Thursday, 24 May 2012 7:48 AM

With soups for 100 calories, fresh salads and wraps, there's a new choice on the high street for a healthy lunch. Tossed, the high street healthier eating place, has enough food choices on their everyday menu to please everyone.

And for National Vegetarian Week, Tossed highlights the vegetarian house salad and wrap options, always available on the menu, including the delicious Greek large salad or wrap at £5.40. Crammed with healthy, filling and tasty ingredients, fragrant herbs such as oregano and a light dressing, it's also only around 360 cals.

“There are around four million vegetarians in the UK and their needs can no longer be ignored,” said Vincent Mckevitt, founder of Tossed. “Although I eat meat and fish, I am always looking at developing more vegetarian dishes because I genuinely like them and the variety they provide to an all-round healthy diet. At Tossed, we will continue to increase the veggie choices.”
 
What's more, from the create-your-own counter, vegetarians can swap any meat or fish for a veggie or dairy ingredient of their choice, and all cheese is vegetarian. Add to this the vegetarian soups and stews for those who like it hot, including the famous 100 calories, intense flavour Tomato and Basil soup, and you can see why you don't even need to be a vegetarian to enjoy healthy food at Tossed.
