CPK’s healthy new adventures

We got a taste of CPK’s healthy new selections


You may have already seen these new menu items in CPK restaurants, but the eclectic pizza restaurant chain officially launched its “new adventures” menu nationwide yesterday to give diners globally-inspired dishes that have vibrant flavor, but lower calories. The new items were carefully thought out to include “super foods” like quinoa and salmon, but they aren’t so exotic that regular diners will be turned off or confused.

We got to sample the new dishes last night as the CPK staff explained the new items and highlighted their favorites. Here are my favorites, in order of appearance:

Who doesn't love salmon? The cedar plank salmon is roasted with smoked paprika and lime and served with white corn and spinach succotash, then topped with feta cheese. It has the most calories of the new items, 640 calories. The cedar plank roasting makes the salmon moist and lends a smoky flavor, and the sweet corn is a nice contrast.

That Chili Relleno looked and sounds amazing!  Is the picture deceiving?  It looks like a big serving!

 kyleepuu it's a pretty decent serving! I was surprised when they told me it was just 380 calories because of the size and flavor.

Hey Melissa808  we went to the Ala Moana one last night and my friend had the grilled chicken chimichurri. He does like to eat healthy and liked it but there did seem to be a lot of vegetable on there that at a glance I could not identify, lol.

 Melissa808 A little bit, and I'm the vegetable eater of the family. I mean I kept looking at his plate and every time I did I kept thinking to myself, "I think that's corn..." (O_o)? Some of the other dishes looked good though.

Delicate Blossom:  Wwhhaatt? no new pizza items that are healthy?  Is there no such thing?

 Annoddah_Dave I think they have healthy items on the "old" menu that includes pizzas and pastas (and of course, salad). But these are brand new items!
