Do you feel that warmth on your skin lately?

Today we want to share with you the must foods for this summer so that you stay hydrated and healthy throughout the summer. Greenviter summer has finally arrived to fill us with happiness and a lot of vitamin D. The beach, the tan, the sunsets, the terraceo and all the things that we love we can finally enjoy 100% but we must not forget good nutrition when enjoying the pleasures of life with our healthy summer foods.

We make it easy! 😉

When we have tanned skin, there is no doubt that we look spectacular with luminous and radiant skin. But what if I told you, greenviter, that if we take care of our diet in the same way that we protect ourselves from the sun, we can achieve radiant skin, stay hydrated in the heat and, just like the sun, full of vitamin D (and other good vitamins, of course).

SPINACH

Spinach has a high amount of beta-carotene and water with 91%. Beta carotene makes spinach a “must” when wanting to keep our tan spectacular. In addition to maintaining your tan, it goes hand in hand with keeping your diet healthy since spinach provides us with a large amount of vitamin A, C, E, K, B vitamins and folic acid.
Tuna or Salmon Poke
Free Range Chicken Caesar Salad

AVOCADO

Avocado is rich in fats that are good for our health and its high content of Omega 3 fatty acids help us maintain and strengthen the natural protective barrier of our skin to achieve a smooth, soft and youthful complexion. As if that were not enough, this fruit contains antioxidants such as vitamins C, A and E to nourish us with more good things.

Green Viter luckily we have avocado in our dishes:
Grilled Quinoa & Avocado Salad
Tuna or Salmon Poke
Guacamole Bowl starter
Chipotle Mex Beef Bowl
Tuna and Avocado
Kimchi Tuna Grilled Burger & Activated Charcoal Bread
Tacos of:
free range chicken
Jackfruit Veggie

SALMON

Blue fish, such as salmon, of all sources of vitamin D is one of the best, this vitamin has inflammatory properties and is required for the proper absorption of calcium in our bodies. It also contains Omega 3 such as avocado to help us strengthen our protective barrier of our skin.

Try our Salmon & Tzatziki or Salmon Poke to nourish yourself with all the good things that salmon brings us!

CARROTS
When you think of tanning you think of carrots as they contain many vitamins that are also extremely nutritious. We associate carrots with tanning as they help produce melanin that helps to acquire that natural tan and above all protects against the sun’s rays. Not only that, it also has anti-cancer properties due to its high level of carotenoids.

Enjoy your carrots with our delicious dishes:
Hummus table
Teriyaki Grilled Free-range Chicken

APPLES
To keep us hydrated in the hot summer, the apple contains 86% water. In addition to these qualities, it helps to quench, strengthen defenses, helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease or Alzheimer’s, and contains anti-inflammatory properties.

Nothing tastier than eating that slice of apple with our Apple & Goji Crumble, it’s on another level of good!

TOMATOES

Tomato, staple food in our Mediterranean diet, is a food that helps us maintain our tan, it also helps fight against aging from the sun’s rays as it is rich in lycopene, a property that helps against wrinkles and skin aging.

Consume your dose of lycopene with our dishes:
Grilled Free-range Chicken Nature
Grilled Vegetables
Pasture Beef Loin
Grilled Fresh Fish Tuna & Avocado
Squid & Black Garlic Bowl
Our Grilled Burgers
Our dishes with pico de gallo:
Grilled Quinoa & Avocado Salad
Bowl Chipotle Mex

OUR SALADS:
Tomato Rosa & Burrata and the Free-range Chicken Caesar with cherry tomatoes include the tomatoes we need to combat the evils of the sun.

We will meet again in the next blog! and in the meantime we are waiting for you in our restaurants 😉

It’s been 4 years since we planted in Viladecans with the first GreenVita Restaurant in 2016, and here we continue! Although the passing of the years has made us learn and evolve, there is one thing that is clear, our concept and philosophy remains the same as the first day.

And it is what cannot be fought against the essence, and ours has always been linked to healthy and balanced food, transparency, flexibility, ingenuity and honesty. We believed and we believe that this series of adjectives could change lives, and we have succeeded in creating good habits in millions of people regarding food and leading an active and healthy life.

How have we achieved it? Offering proposals made with products that always meet our quality, ecological and natural requirements. Our menu hides as good tasting recipes as they are for our body, healthy, nutritious and for everyone’s enjoyment, always thinking of the various food sensitivities that converge today in our society.

We are a plural restaurant chain, which enhances the Plant-Based Diet, which we have already talked about in past Newsletters. Because we believe in the future and sustainability and support any measure that favors the care of the environment, such as the consumption of seasonal or proximity products and the already named organic products. We also include meat options, yes, 100% organic!

Thanks to all this, we have been able to reach more people every day and become a great family that values the care of both the environment and theirs and their own. This is GreenVita! And as we want to continue adding with you, we will soon open a new store in Barcelona … Do you know where? On October 25 in Sarrià, we are waiting for you all with the greatest enthusiasm and the best proposals!

As we know, a good work environment contributes to achieve better performance and more satisfaction at work. In the same way, a cozy environment, that provides calmness and serenity, will contribute to our digestion and will help our body to assimilate nutrients better.

Eating is much more enjoyable if we make it relaxed and enjoying with all our senses the color, aroma and taste of the dish. And also, eating with adequate lighting, decoration and music, especially if we eat outside our home, is essential. And, of course, eating in good company will make the pleasure even more intense. At #GreenVita we take care of all these details at our restaurants during the service!

Is very important to put all our senses in the act of eating, because it affects the taste of food.

There are studies saying that television, while we are eating, withdraws the attention of our food and encourages us to eat more, and can even lead to anxiety or bad digestion. All due to the content of the programs and / or advertising that we are receiving through our senses while we eat.

Excessive noise or screams and discussions excite our nervous system, leading us to eat faster, in an uncontrolled and unpleasant way.

When we are eating, it is advisable to stop any other activity that we are doing, since it will take away our consciousness of what we eat and the feeling of satiety. The right place to eat is at the table and sitting correctly.

Eating in good company increases pleasure, however, we must not lose sight of what we eat and how much we eat. Eating with our family is very healthy and constructive for all its members, especially for children and teens.

More tips to eat well and live well very soon! Go ahead #Greenviters!

Do you know the “January slope”? We are, now, at the September slope!! So, at #Greenvita, we want to help you to beat it!!

The end of summer can be a new beginning to think about how we are managing year 2018. After holidays, beach, naps, breaking schedules, it’s time to recover normality and routines. ‘Routine’ is not necessary a bad thing… A healthy, organized and controlled routine is what we really need to “return to reality”.

In the first place, both adults and children must recover routines but leaving also time for leisure. Holidays have not ended 100%. To do this, it is very important to organize all the tasks that are waiting for us, but also leave time to us. A calm and controlled back to reality is what we need!

Second, we recommend you to progressively recover sleep schedules and eating habits after your holiday’s chaos. Remember how important are sleep schedules to rest and recover energies, and how important is to organize the shopping to plan ahead healthy lunches, in and out your home. But remember that you always have a table at #Greenvita!

And, last but not least, we must also recover activity and physical exercise routines. Autumn is still a favourable season to enjoy outdoors (walk, run…), but, without doubt, there are also many interesting activities indoor (yoga, dance, enjoy team games…).

Undoubtedly, September is a month to recover routines and stability. At #Greenvita we also look forward and we help you with this new beginning! Our objective? Eat well to live well! Welcome home!

It is true that in the summer and due to the hot weather and environmental humidity, we do not desire to do physical activity. But it is also true that summer offers many fun opportunities to exercise outdoors. You need to lower the intensity of physical activity and choose the coolest hours of the day, protect you properly from the sun, moisturize, and monitor sudden changes of temperature in air-conditioned facilities … but we can continue to take care of our body and our health as you do in winter, all in order to stay healthy all year round.

For example, is there something better than swimming in a pool as natural as the ocean? Or, perhaps, in a lake of crystalline waters in the mountains? Because swimming is an excellent exercise for the summer. Another physical activity you can not resist is snorkeling. Is there a better way to go through these hot flashes than looking at the wonders of the seabed? And what do you say about, simply, walking down the beach? Long walks on the sand are highly beneficial.

Another proposal is to do yoga on the beach, how do you feel about that? It is a delight to exercise your body and relax your mind with the sun, the sea, the sand and the breeze refreshing your body. Avoid, of course, the hottest hours of the sun, it is advisable to practice it early in the morning or at night. In addition, it is a very pleasant physical, mental and energetic activity to share in a group.

You can also practice volleyball, soccer or tennis on the beach, but avoid the strongest hours of sunshine and, because they are intense physical activities, rest whenever you need, look for the shade from time to time, and hydrate! And … dancing on the beach with the rhythm of the summer song? It’s so funny! And, a last suggestion to take care of yourself and stay healthy while doing physical activity in the summer, is the paddle-surf, a classical since some years ago … but, if you want to be really trendy … You have to dare with the yoga paddle, the fusion of static surfing and the postures or asanas of yoga … a real challenge! So, you have no excuse for not taking care of your body and spending a fun and healthy summer. Eat well, exercise your body and live well, also in the summer!

Summer, vacations, the routine disappears from our life … and, this is wonderful! But, in turn, it is usually a time of the year a bit disorganized, which can lead to a less healthy diet, as a consequence of the lack of control of meals and schedules. We go to bed later, maybe we do not eat breakfast as we should, we eat excessively… we eat at odd hours, drink more alcohol or sugary drinks than in winter… To all this, add we are lazier to do sports and the cocktail is perfect! So … Why don’t we summarize how to stay healthy during the summer?

Do you know what kind of food help our body in summer? Fruits are the queens because they have a high content of water, as well as vitamins, minerals and fiber; In addition, they help to avoid summer dehydration. However, do not eat too much, because they have lots of sugar. We recommend you to eat watermelon and melon because of its high water content as well as their vitamins A and C. Include also vegetables in your diet. Tomato stands out for its refreshing and antioxidant power, its content of vitamins B, C, E, potassium and magnesium. The lettuce, another summer queen. It keeps us hydrated and has a satiating effect. The cucumber has a lot of water and is rich in fiber and, remember that its skin concentrates most of the nutrients! The pepper is as recommendable as the cucumber. And, finally, broccoli is very interesting because it will help your skin stay healthy and flexible, while its vitamin E protects it from ultraviolet rays. We must also consider the benefits of fish and seafood, especially tuna, sardines and anchovies, and also the wonderful clams! If you take a look at our menu you will see that you can find most of these foods in it. That is how #Greenvita takes care of you in summer! And, what should you avoid eating? Well, it is very clear: fried and fat food, margarines, industrial pastries, fast food, soups and prepared sauces, popcorn, frozen and salty snacks or ice cream.

With these tips, we are sure that you will spend a fantastic summer, being healthy and happy. We hope to see you in any of our restaurants, there we will help you eat well and live well, also in summer!

We usually choose the ingredients of our meals without thinking deeply about its properties. That is why today, GreenVita will explain you some interesting things about one of the most consumed products in the world: lemon. Its cleansing and flavoring capabilities, nutritional properties and therapeutic applications go further its usual applications in juices, liqueurs, home-made desserts and pastries.

Lemon is a hybrid of the Citrus medicine species, comes from Southeast Asia and was reintroduced into our country around the 13th century by the Arabs after their disappearance of European plantations in the 3rd century.

All parts in lemon can be used, both pulp and skin and, of course, its juice. In addition, it is a fruit of a tree that produces throughout the year, with which we have lemons for a while! With it we can marinate raw fish or use it when cooking in the oven or grill. It is excellent raw as an accompaniment once we have extracted its juice and have watered with it the foods that we want to intensify. Meanwhile cooking rice, meat, seafood, pasta… the lemon is a perfect seasoning.

It is an incredible ingredient with extraordinary nutritional properties due to the large amount of vitamin C it presents, a vitamin that acts as a great natural defence against colds and allergies. On the other hand, the lemon is a powerful healing of wounds, so it is advisable to have it at your fingertips. In infusions, a piece of lemon or a little of its juice with honey makes it a powerful natural antibiotic. It is also a potent digestive because of its Ph, less acidic than that of our body, therefore it performs alkalizing functions, avoiding bad digestion and stomach discomfort. In addition, it is highly recommended to extract, naturally, stones from the liver, kidney and gallbladder.

Its shape, smell, taste, touch and presence are attractive and decorative, and give colour to the table, to your breakfasts and at any time of day. We encourage you to put lemon in your diet, in Greenvita you will find it on more than one plate! Your health will be grateful.

Meanwhile Barcelona debates if more or less tourism is desirable or about the problem of gentrification, GreenVita decided to visit 2018 Oikos Spring Meeting, celebrated in our city from March 8^th to 11^th. In that International Meeting, dedicated to sustainable tourism, we debated how can we help to maintain Barcelona as one of the most visited cities in the world but avoiding to overexploit it.

Entrepreneurs, experts and agents, that have interest in creating a social concern about sustainable mobility and tourism, had the opportunity to debate how it could be done at a practical level and through a Social Responsible Approach, taking into account not only ecological but also social terms.

In GreenVita we try to do that through our GreenVita DNA, trying to work for a sustainable gastronomy that uses products from local providers, that uses filtered water, that focuses the menu to vegetables more than to meat or fish… Providing a flexi diet, a healthy diet, without lies, cooking respecting ingredients, offering a quiet place to enjoy and relax, are also good ways to reach the objective of sustainability.

After Oikos we are thinking about other activities, conferences, and so on, and you will be informed throught our social networks, so… follow us! Until the next GreenVita’s activity, why don’t you enjoy us in one of our restaurants? Come and eat our healthy proposals prepared with love and care! And let us know what do you think! Your opinion is essential to us.

Some weeks ago GreenVita participated in MadeInfluencer with the activity ‘Greenvita’s ShowCooking, a Food&Healthy concept’. With this show we can communicate better our brand and GreenVita’s DNA.

The most delicious moment was our visual cooking performance and the degustation of our products and plates. As always, we provide good and healthy well combined ingredients, and always, prepared with love. ¿Why don’t you come to see us next time? Because the idea is to repeat MadeInfluencer experience twice a year in Barcelona and, in the future, in other Spanish and international cities.

#Madeinfluencer is the first international forum, located in Barcelona, where it is possible to interact with influencers, bloggers and youtubers, and, this time, we met at #ROC35 (Poblenou), on February, 1^st.

GreenVita shared this experience with other life style and travel sector companies, gastronomy and tourism enterprises and digital communication professionals. The headline for students is that a ‘Master in Social media, influencer and professional blogger and videoblogger’ has been created, perhaps you want to joint it soon!

MadeInfluencer was an astonishing success, with a complete ‘sold out’, fact that ensures the next edition that is going to take place in Barcelona on October the 25^th. The success was also possible to Renfe-SNCF en Cooperación, DietBox and GreenVita (all gold partners of the event).

How will be food in the future? Which ingredient or product will be selected to eradicate extreme hunger or to become the key for interstellar trips? It is quite difficult to know how will be food in the future or which ingredients will form our menu in twenty years from now. But, guess what? Our bet is for quinoa!

Although quinoa has been known and consumed in the Andes for most than 7000 years, it is a new-arrived at our gastronomical culture. FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) and NASA have said quinoa will be the food of the future because of its extraordinary nutritional composition. Quinoa is an excellent ingredient for everybody, but especially for those who you have to take care of the most (kids, pregnant women…). The sacred Inca food is composed by all essential amino acids, magnesium, zinc, lithium, calcium, vitamins… Quinoa is perfect in its internal combination of proteins, fat and carbohydrates, and has no gluten.

Three different types of quinoa are available: white, red and black, each one with some differences in calories, protein and carbohydrate percentages… so, it is a better idea to eat quinoa than mixing the three types? The Real Quinoa used in GreenVita is made of white, red and black quinoa, and you can easily find it in our salads, veggie hamburgers and some sautéed dishes. Come to GreenVita and enjoy quinoa with us!

See you in the next post! #eatwelllivewell

Are you thinking about your New Year’s resolutions? It is a classic to do in January. It seems a good idea, at the beginning of the year, to look back and analyse last year results, looking back to our fulfilled aims, our big failures or our main vital objectives. January is a special month, a renewal month, when all seem possible meanwhile you look forward with hope and joy. January is the month when the sentences ‘this year I want to…’, ‘Now is my moment to…’, ‘I’m going to…’ become popular among our daily thoughts. January is the month to start again, to change, to do. Have you completed your list of New Year’s resolutions?

GreenVita wants to help you with some of the classical New Year’s objectives: enjoy a better health and improve your physical fitness. We know it seems a good idea to start going to gym or to become a professional runner, but, meanwhile you prepare yourself for the next New York City Marathon, why don’t you start eating healthier? Modern life is ready to fight against your will to fulfil this simple desire!

But we are here to become your key partner in this objective when it is more difficult: when you eat outside! For that reason, we have a huge variety of ingredients, healthy dishes and combinations, fresh starters and main plates, no-refined-flour-nor-sugar desserts, and so on. All these good gastronomical proposals are completed with our own ways of treating ingredients in our recipes: raw ingredients (in salads or guacamole), steamed quinoa, rice or pasta, sautéed quinoa, red bio or venere bio rice, and grilled fresh fish or free-range chicken.

To be honest, it is not easy to maintain a good fit and be healthy, but we are here to help you to become a healthy food ambassador and an active live soldier! We are waiting for your visit at our spots in Splau, Parc Vallès, Viladecans and Diagonal Mar. We are also planning new and astonishing healthy sport proposals. Do you remember our last yoga class? Soon, another one!

See you soon on our next post #eatwelllivewell
