This past week, the editors of AllFreeCopycatRecipes.com and FaveHealthyRecipes.com had the pleasure of attending a sneak peek tasting of Corner Bakery Cafe’s new menu items. The delicious recipes we sampled make their nationwide debut April 29th. The new healthy recipes features incorporate superfood trends like kale & quinoa. The new food items we tasted centered on Southwestern ingredients that were loaded with flavor. Corner Bakery is also launching new, fresh smoothies. The Orange Carrot Ginger and Four Berry Smoothies were refreshing and delicious. The best part is that each smoothie has 4 servings of fruit! We learned eating healthy, doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice taste.
