We have been a fan of Culver’s ever since they moved into the area a few years ago.  They have great tasting Burgers, Delicious salads, great meals for the kids, cheese curds and mouth watering yummy flavors of yogurt ice cream.  Now that the winter is here we want to watch our weight and calorie intake.  During the summer we’re pretty active and it’s easier to eat healthier but during the winter we both tend to put on 10 lbs of winter weight. This year so far were doing pretty good at keeping it off.  We were given the opportunity to try out Culver’s Mindful Choices Meals last week and we were pleasantly surprised that they were so low in calories yet still tasted so good.

Mindful choices Meals to choose from:

Butterburger “the original” Value basket: Butter burger single, Side Salad, med. diet soft drink  437 calories

Our Thoughts:  Hubby and I went to Culvers for lunch last week.  While looking at the menu I did not see the Mindful choices posted but I had already looked at the website and had decided what I wanted to have.  I do hope that Culvers will be adding advertisement to the front registers on these wonderful low calorie tasty choices.

With so many great choices to choose from we decided to share meals.   The Pot Roast sandwich sounded really good but I honestly didn’t expect it to taste that great.  Seeing as this was fast food and not something made in my mom’s kitchen.  We also chose the Butter burger meal with the side salad.  I’ve had the Butter burger before and know it’s good. I don’t drink diet soda but hubby does so he stayed on the plan. I decided to go with the regular soda so I swayed off a bit off the calorie count.

The Pot Roast sandwich was to die for!! It was juicy, full of flavor and oh so good and I hated the fact that I had to share half the sandwich with hubby.  One bite into it we both tried to convince the other that it was no good and we’d be willing to sacrifice our self’s for the greater good to save the other  from having  to eat their half.

Yes, it was quite comical.

You should of seen the looks we were getting from the other customers.  Of course the “oh this is soo good” probably gave us away.  We’ve always enjoyed butter burgers and the salads as well as the chicken sandwiches so we already knew how great those tasted.

While at the table we did notice that there was advertisement for the Mindful choices Meals on the table but had you already ordered your meals you would just have to keep it in mind for the next visit. If you’ve never tried Culvers have the Pot Roast Sandwich. All I have to say is you’ll make your mouth happy. Ps. Don’t offer to share you’ll be sorry.
