A Bright Start
Brighten Up January with Healthy Choices and Bright Foods
As the festive season fades and the winter days stretch on, January can sometimes feel a little, well, grey. But we believe there’s no better time to bring some brightness into your life, starting with your plate.
Our menu is bursting with fresh, healthy options designed to nourish your body and brighten your mood. Whether you’re chasing away the winter blues or kick-starting a healthier routine, we’ve got just the thing to fuel your year.
Tips for Beating the January Blues
Get outside
Even a short walk in the fresh air can help boost your mood and energy levels. Take ten minutes away from your desk to recharge, or make time at the weekend for a stroll in Jersey’s beautiful great outdoors. Whether it’s a walk in Howard Davis Park, a trip to the beach, a hike along the coastal cliff paths, or even just a quick stroll down King Street, your mind and body will thank you for getting outside. If you’re in town, warm up afterwards with one of our hot drinks to go.
Stay active
Exercise is a natural mood booster. Whether you’re heading out on a run, popping to the gym, going cycling, going to an exercise class, or swimming (in the pool, or for the more adventurous, in the sea!), there’s so many activities to choose from around the Island. Why not try something new this January, or challenge yourself to work out a little more frequently this new year?
If you’re not confident to get out in public, video workouts are a great place to start. From HIIT to Zumba, yoga to dance fitness, you’ll find all sorts of workouts you can do from the comfort of home. And don’t forget to check out our great range of salads and protein pots, perfect for refuelling after a swim, workout, or gym session.
Eat the Rainbow
Colourful, nutrient-dense foods can do wonders for both your physical and your mental health. Load up on fruits and veggies to get your dose of vits and minerals, increase your dietary fibre, improve your digestion and immune function, and contribute to a happy body and mind. Check out our Rainbow Salad Bowl for an instant pick-me-up, full of protein-rich beans and pulses and colourful veggies to get your five-a-day.
Be Kind
Small acts of self-care are really important for beating the winter blues. Whether it’s taking time to unwind, enjoying a break for a snack, or finding time for a hobby or a catch-up with a friend, little mindful moments will keep you feeling positive on duller days.
Eating for Wellbeing
At Café Ubé, we believe that food can be both delicious and nutritious. Here are some of the top picks from our menu to help you feel your best this year.
Fresh Fruit
From Blueberry & Melon to Tropical Fruit Salad pots, or even just an apple or banana to go, fresh fruit is packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Grab some fresh fruit to start your day, or to enjoy as an afternoon boost.
Wholesome Starts
Get the day going with a tasty breakfast pot like our Red Berry Chia Parfait. Indulge in creamy Jersey yoghurt with a hint of sweet vanilla, fibre-rich berries, chia seeds, and gluten-free granola. For higher energy days, try our new Hot Breakkie Wrap. Enjoy the protein power of scrambled eggs and bacon, wrapped up inside a handy tortilla. Perfect for eating on the go.
Homemade Soups
Healthy and hearty, our wholesome homemade soups change every week so there’s always something new to try. Warm up with a bowl of comforting classics, or discover something different with a tasty casserole or hot pot. Look out for favourites like carrot & corianer, leek & potato or tomato & basil, or try our popular Jersey Bean Crock, chicken & coconut curry, or thai sweetcorn and red pepper soup.
Pair with a rustic roll and Jersey butter for a satisfying and nourishing meal.
Rainbow Beans
We love beans and pulses: packed with colour and flavour, they’re a great source of plant-based protein that adds texture and taste to any dish. Taste the power of pulses this year with our Rainbow Bean Pot: layers of edamame, black-eyed beans, and quinoa, with roasted butternut, sweetcorn, pimentos, and a sweet chili dressing. A great source of plant-based protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals to fuel your day. For something more substantial, try our Rainbow Salad Bowls. Chicken or falafel, mixed beans and pulses, and crisp salad greens. A great nutritious lunch to keep you going all afternoon.
Start the Year Right
Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean dull or difficult. Our menu is crafted to bring you meals that are as nourishing as they are delicious – because we believe eating well should be a joy.
