Lucky for us, Noodles & Company has introduced a new line of BUFF Bowls: vegetable and protein packed bowls available in 4 different varieties. BUFF Bowls are full of flavor and will fill you up with 17g-31g of protein, only 14g-39g of carbohydrates, and all four of them are under 400 calories! So, the next time Alex has a craving for spaghetti and meatballs at Noodles & Company, I can feel good about going along with him and ordering a BUFF Japanese Pan Bowl with Marinated Steak, BUFF Pesto with Naturally Raised Pork, BUFF Bangkok Curry with Organic Tofu, or my choice: the BUFF Fresca with Grilled Chicken Breast. The BUFF Fresca is filled with grilled chicken breast, tons of delicious veggies like tomato, roasted garlic, and red onion, all tossed with olive oil, served on a bed of spinach and topped with some yummy feta cheese.
