Freekeh is the ingredient du-jour and Aroma is quick to join the party and add this ancient Middle Eastern staple to their expanding and satiating menu. No longer does a coffee and salad for lunch mean a dull bowl of bland lettuce and a couple sour cherry tomatoes with a watered down and tasteless coffee….freekeh and Aroma Espresso are here to save the day!

The loaded Freekeh Salad is a huge source of protein and fibre to help the body stay lean and energized
So what exactly is Freekeh? As per Wikipedia it’s a Biblical (likely even older) roasted cereal grain that is high in insoluble fibre (the good kind) and contains a high protein content while possessing a low glycemic index. Let’s file this under Superfood, shall we? When cooked, it has a similar consistency to larger and harder couscous. It definitely has a bite and you absolutely feel like you’re eating something with a crunch, as opposed to a fluffy quinoa, for example. The salad showcased the texture and flavour perfectly and filled me up with it’s delicious goodness!

If you haven’t already tried one of these, head over to your nearest Aroma Espresso Bar location and customize your combo exactly how you’d like it!
