Prudential Center

News

For a boost of feel-good, vitamin-packed food, head to Prudential Center, where healthy dining options abound. Whether you want to dine in, take out, or pick your own ingredients, a visit to The Pru can jumpstart your well-being journey — or keep you on track for a healthier you in 2022.

5 healthy dining options that will power you through the winter

Pressed Cafe

Fast service and exceptional food, Pressed Cafe has perfected that time-tested concept of success. Add fresh local ingredients and a to-die-for Mediterranean flavor profile, and you get why this newly opened eatery at The Pru has become such a magnet for those seeking healthy dining options.

Whether you pick a Health Nut smoothie on the go (spinach, kale, avocado, dates, banana, almonds, cinnamon, vanilla and flax seed blended with almond milk) or a Red-Dragon Stir-Fry Bowl (seared rare yellowfin tuna, red quinoa, carrots, fresh kale… you get the picture!), you’ll quickly turn into a regular. 

Clover Food Lab

Clover Food Lab may be a newcomer at The Pru, but with thousands of raving fans across greater Boston, it’s a household name. MIT alum and environmentalist Ayr Muir has won wide acclaim for his mission to address global warming by building a better food future. At the heart of it all is, of course, his knack for turning locally sourced, plant-based ingredients into super-tasty food.

Says Muir, “I’d rather have you shocked by how delicious our turnip soup tastes than impress you with an exotic ingredient or fancy technique or flowery menu description.”

Try the Chickpea Fritter Sandwich. Then, come back for more. 

Wagamama

Nourishment from bowl to soul: That’s the motto of wagamama. Take a seat at one of the long communal benches and prepare for a fresh take on great Asian fusion food. The first wagamama opened in London’s Bloomsbury in 1992. Inspired by fast-paced Japanese ramen bars, it quickly gained a following. These days, it’s a winner among healthy dining options.

Pick from all kinds of rice and noodle dishes alongside fresh salads and shareable sides. There are desserts, fresh juices, hot drinks, wine, sake, and expertly crafted Asian beers, too.

How about soul-warming Chili Shrimp + Kimchi Ramen? It’s just what every cold day requires. 

Sweetgreen

When temperatures dip, find comfort in a warm Harvest Bowl from sweetgreen. Every item on the sweetgreen menu is literally a picture of health. Designed to reimagine fast food for a new era, this growing chain was founded in 2007 by three college students looking for a healthier way to eat. Now, they are set on becoming carbon neutral by the end of 2027, all while empowering customers, team members, and partners to be a positive force on the food system. 

How can you help? You guessed it — by eating! The question is only which bowl or salad to pick? 

Eataly

Freshly made pasta, smooth and buttery olive oils, artisanal dark chocolates — welcome to the largest Italian marketplace in the world. Walking into Eataly is inspiring in itself. Modeled after the first Eataly in Turin, Italy, the three-floor space features an authentic Italian experience with an array of healthy choices to browse. 

From a mozzarella lab to retail counters (meat, seafood, pasta, cheese, cured meats, and more) to four full-service restaurants to a salad bar, you can let any hankering make the decision.

What’s for dinner tonight? Every ingredient is here to make it a night to remember. 

If healthy eating is your goal for this year, Prudential Center is your destination.
