Cinnamon Bear Bar & Grille Launches Healthy Menu Bursting With Flavor
Active, health-conscious travelers to Whistler recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy diet while on the road. To complement this positive lifestyle choice, the Cinnamon Bear Bar & Grille at the Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa has launched the Hilton Eat Right™ menu, offering meal choices that are rich in nutrition, and designed with such health-conscious attributes as increased protein and reduced saturated fats, cholesterol, carbohydrates and calories.
Robert Tan, Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa’s Director of Food & Beverage said this new initiative is about changing the culture of eating by offering guests’ educated choices rather than about fitting in with a short-term dietary program.
“This isn’t a trendy, low-carbohydrate diet or weight-loss program; rather, we’re promoting nutritionally balanced menu items that cater to a positive lifestyle – a choice which is paramount in a destination like Whistler”.
The menu was developed following extensive research and is part of Hilton’s continued commitment to offer to satisfy its guests’ continuing desire for great-tasting, healthier food options and quality menu items.
“Healthy eating doesn't mean you have to follow a strict diet, or give up foods you love. You just need to balance the amount of eat type of foods you eat to obtain all the necessary nutrients,” commented Jay Lynn, Executive Chef of the Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa. “The Hilton Eat Right™ menu outlines the fat, calories, carbs and protein in each meal, removing the guess work.”
Sample Hilton Eat Right™ menu items at Cinnamon Bear Bar & Grille include delicious Mango Tango Breakfast Shakes, Caprese Eggs Benedict with Pesto, Miso Halibut with Soba Noodles, Smoked Turkey Quesadillas and Shrimp Wraps with Cilantro and Red Curry Dressing.
