It’s been a little while since we last spoke about Shake Salad, the convenient and nutritious on-the-go meal option that many of us rely on for tracking our macros. As you may recall from my previous article, Shake Salad was a lifesaver with its transparent nutritional information and wide availability.
The great news is that Shake Salad has expanded its lineup! I’ve been keeping a close eye on their offerings, and I’m excited to share the latest macros for their products. Whether you’re looking for a low-carb option or a high-protein boost, this article will help you navigate their new menu and make informed choices to meet your fitness goals.
Do note that the macros for some of their older products have also changed.
This post deviates slightly from my usual focus on salad bars, but I felt it was worth highlighting Shake Salad. They’ve become my reliable alternative when salad bars are closed on weekends and public holidays.
You can find Shake Salads at most Cold Storage, Jason’s, FairPrice, or Cheers stores, and they also have vending machines scattered throughout Singapore.
For added convenience, you can order them online and have them delivered right to your door. Plus, online orders/vending machines offer the option to add extras like chicken breast to boost your protein intake.
Another standout feature is their excellent customer service. When I inquired about the nutritional information for their salads, they responded swiftly and thoroughly. If you’re tracking macros and need a quick, nutritious salad option, Shake Salad is definitely worth considering.
Poke Theory is a great choice if you’re seeking a healthy and tasty option nearby (they have multiple locations across Singapore). Most of their outlets are also open on weekends. If you are counting your calories, they have a nutrition calculator. However, note that the calculator is not updated with their latest menu.
Proteins taste clean and healthy
The Balinese Spiced Salmon surprised me—it was light and not oily at all, possibly because they sous vide it without the skin. I enjoyed it more than expected; sometimes Balinese spiced dishes can be heavy but it isn’t the case here. I’d definitely order it again when I’m craving cooked fish.
I also tried their Shoyu Tuna. This is my standard order at Poke Theory because it isn’t too salty, and tuna is one of the leanest proteins out there. Their Sous Vide Chicken is also tender if you’re looking for a less-seasoned protein option.
Broccoli was overcooked
Their sides are simple yet delightful. Everything is either unseasoned or lightly seasoned, allowing you to savor the freshness of each ingredient. The Cajun Sweet Potato is mashed, providing a nice contrast to the crunchiness of other toppings. They also offer egg whites as an option.
My only complaint would be that the broccoli is mushy and overcooked. Personally, I prefer broccoli to retain its crunch after cooking.
Sauces are nice but the portion is very small
20g of dressing isn’t enough to mix properly into the regular bowl. Instead, I dip my Poke into the sauce rather than stirring it in. I’ve tried both the Sambal Matah and Avocado Miso, and found both to be well-balanced and light. Neither sauce contains oil, making them decent choices if you’re seeking a lower-calorie option.
Very consistent size
They do weigh the amount of Poke and base they give, so the sizing has been pretty consistent. It was about 110g of Protein, and a total of about 500g worth of food –
45g Pineapple
53g Sweet Potato
30g Cucumber
25g Carrot
50g Pumpkin
30g Broccoli
40g Egg White
60g Balinese Spiced Salmon
50g Shoyu Tuna
90g Crunchy Greens
20g Avocado Miso Dressing
