Under 500 | Guilt free food under 500 calories
A homegrown brand, Under 500 prides itself in creating food that isn’t sinful, even if it tastes that way. Every item on their menu is carefully crafted to combine wholesome goodness with a variety of flavors, while making sure no portion exceeds 500 calories. In the very true sense, Under 500 offers great food without any guilt.
We visited the Motor City branch of Under 500 and were highly impressed with the choice of food they offered. Right from cold pressed juices to salads, carbs and desserts, we were prepared to try them all! Read on to find out our favorites from the menu, which are quite likely to become your favorites too!
Acai Bowl
Perfect for breakfast or even dinner, this chilled acai bowl from Under 500 combines the best of super-food acai berries, blended with banana, and topped with granola and fresh mixed fruits. Honestly, this was so good, I could totally have it everyday.
Lean Steak & Kale
Quite a light one, this steak and kale salad had all the veggie goodness along with lean protein. The thin grated zucchini (or zoodles), gave the satisfaction of carbs, sans all the calories. I loved the addition of chia seeds to this mix. The steak could have been more tender though. It was a tad bit dry for me.
Steak & Mushroom Rice
This was one of my two favorite mains at Under 500. The steak in this one was more than perfect, and combined with the brown rice and mushrooms, it made a very comforting, wholesome and filling dish. #RashidaRecommends
Chicken Burrito
The chicken burrito bowl at Under 500 was beyond perfect. It not only had all my favorite ingredients and spices, but the chicken was done just right. The fresh jalapenos gave a whole different spicy kick to the dish. While this dish was great with quinoa, I would definitely love to try this with rice as well.
Slimmed Down Brownie
Would you believe me if I told you these were the best brownies ever! Chocolatey, but at the same time sugar free and gluten free, this is every health conscious dessert lover’s dream come true. You cannot leave without trying these.
Juices
While we sipped on No. 2 Vitalise and No. 3 Spark during our dinner, we packed a couple more No. 1 Revive and No. 4 Energise for the weekend. Spark and Revive were my favorites!

#RashidaReviews
If I could, I would honestly eat here everyday, and never get bored of the food. I really loved this place so much. It’s difficult to choose one or two favorites when I have yet to try so many of their menu items, but their Acai Bowl and Chicken Burrito were a winner for me. The Steak and mushroom was really good too. And those cold pressed drinks were wow! Wait, don’t dare leave without that slimmed brownie. You will want to pack more of these for later!
