Clean Eatz, a healthy cafe that offers meal plan services, is coming to Peachtree Corners in late April 2021. Clean Eatz started construction on March 15 and will open tentatively around late April. The cafe will be open for two weeks before meal plans are offered.
When talking to owner Nancy Glass, she said what attracted her to Peachtree Corners was the active lifestyle displayed by the community. “When you go on the Peachtree Corners website it’s all ‘family, community, outdoor Living.” It’s all about active living! There’s this feeling of family and that everyone is in it together.” Clean Eatz’s mission “is to help be the first step you take to living a healthy lifestyle,” as well as giving the community “the tools needed [in maintaining a healthy diet] by preparing properly portioned sized meals with a balance of protein, carbs and fats.” Meal planning has become popular in recent years for busy adults with families and others always on the go, especially in light of the pandemic.
“COVID has brought on this whole new environment to our family dynamic,” Glass said. “So at the end of the day, whether you’re a parent or a single working adult, you just want to take a moment to breathe without having to stress about dinner. With a meal plan, you have nutritious meals ready-to-eat, which make it easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle… We simplify life!”
High on nutrition, low on cost and commitment
The Clean Eatz Meal Plans offers nutritious, personalized meals for those with active lifestyles at an affordable cost. Meal plans come in 5, 10, 15 and 21 meal options, and prices start at $38 for five meals ($7.60 per meal), and if you order 21+ meals, the price goes down to $6.10.
“Clean Eatz puts their money where their mouth is! If we say it’s affordable, we will make it affordable,” Glass said. The meal plan menu changes weekly but it is adaptable to each person’s dietary needs, such as gluten-free, low or no-carb or extra protein. Meal plans can also be shipped to your house as well as picked up in-store.
The meal plans are also low commitment. “We don’t take your credit card [information] or bring you into any contracts,” Glass explained. “If we offer you a tasty, nutritious meal, it will be a delight. You will want to come back.”
Wealth of options
In addition to meal plans, they have a separate cafe dining menu that provides “a balanced look at food while giving you several options.” And they offer frozen grab-and-gos as an alternative to what is on the weekly meal plan menu, including gluten-free cauliflower crust frozen pizzas. They also provide catering, great for events like athletic competitions and after-school sports. Glass mentioned she had already been contacted by a CrossFit gym nearby to cater later in the summer.
On the cafe menu, there is a wide variety of smoothies that can work as a snack or a meal replacement when “First Form” protein powder is added. Customers can build their own burger choosing between turkey, salmon, black bean or bison and customize it any way they want.
Glass invites everyone to come by and grab some “Good for You Nachos” (sweet potato fries topped with shredded beef, guacamole, salsa, green peppers and red onion) or boneless wings or buffalo cauliflower bites as a snack. “Build a Bowl” options allow customers to choose and customize their meal to their liking — with a base, protein, veggies, sauce and spice.
Simple and tasty
About the menu, Glass said, “We’ve taken your favorites and made them good for you — tasty, delicious!” They also offer salads, wraps and kids’ menu options such as “Pizza Rollz” and “Boneless Wingz”.
Clean Eatz features healthy and balanced meals that taste good, while also offering variety to their meal plans and menus, making them stand out against other often bland diet programs. Their menu includes Keto and Celiac-friendly options, as well as choices for people who are on a diabetic diet.
“It’s not easy going into the grocery store and know how to put a recipe together that is balanced and has all the necessary nutrients. We take away all the guesswork,” Glass said. She added that it can be difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and that’s where Clean Eatz can help. “We’re here to create a plan and then create a community.”
Ahead of opening, everyone is invited to sign up for meal plans at cleaneatz.com/locations/peachtree-corners-ga. Once Clean Eatz is open, customers will receive an email notification with a menu on Thursday, with a reminder, to place their orders by Sunday.
