When most people think of fast food, they think of greasy, fatty, oily food made with subpar ingredients that is dirt cheap. One of the biggest issues with this is although you may enjoy it while you are eating it, it makes you feel pretty icky after you finish it. Stodgy, stodgy, stodgy!
But who said fast food has to be that way and has to be bad for you!
A great example of good, healthy, decently priced fast food is Leon.
Their slogan is even ‘Naturally fast food’
Leon
101 Tottenham Court Road
London
W1T 4TT
Is the one I go to most often but there are about 30 other locations which you can find here.http://leonrestaurants.co.uk/restaurants/
They have a great range of quick, fresh, healthy option for eat in or take away. They have hot boxes, super salads as well as healthy wraps and light bites.
Everything I have had from here has been fresh, tasty and delicious. I’m going to share a few of my favourites.
The Chicken & Chorizo Club Hot Box
Similar is the Chicken & Chorizo Club Wrap
Chargrilled chicken thigh and slices of roasted Spanish chorizo with fresh leaves, pink cabbage, slices of pickle, garlic aioli and Leon chilli sauce in flat bread wrap.
Grilled Halloumi Wrap
A great vegetarian option. Grilled halloumi, fresh leaves, pink cabbage, baby plum tomato, parsley, aioli and sweet chilli jam in a flatbread wrap.
The Chicken Burger
See burgers don’t have to be bad, Leon have worked on a burger that tastes good and does you good. Chargrilled butterflied chicken thigh with fresh rocket, fresh tomato and pickles, finished with punchy olive oil herb mayonnaise, served in an artisan sesame seed topped bun. It is low in saturated fat.
Chargrilled Chicken Superfood Salad
Hummus and flatbread
Chickpea dip with tahini, lemon juice and olive oil, topped with roasted peppers
My all time favourite is the
Fish Finger Wrap
Cod fillet from sustainable shoals, served with cos lettuce, slices of pickle and Leon own-made tartar sauce in a flat bread wrap.
It is low in saturated fat and dairy free
My other favourite is the
Leon baked fries
Crispy baked potato waffle fries sprinkled with Leon seasoning.
The waffle shape reminds me of being a kid. They taste so good and as they are baked they aren’t that bad for you right?
This is definitely my go to fast food option if there is one around and one of my favourite airport snack if I am travelling out of Heathrow terminal 2 or 3 or Stansted.
Try it out and it will change your view of fast food, I promise you.
