Great pizza in numerous styles also, but Green Mill right now is indeed going green and beyond with a special staying-fit menu of seven dishes, and that number is symbolic of perfection, to add to their many food options. And these entrees can — and virtually always do — have a perfect ten number of ingredients. Or even as many as 15. And still manage to stay healthy, using lighter ingredients such as cavatappi (multiple times) and even making the ranch dressing smokin’ in style. And bunches of bruschetta.
The Green Mill Eating Fit! menu features healthier alternatives, just in time for keeping your New Year resolutions, but it’s only here for a limited span, so get in shape by way of Green Mill and their greens and much more quite fast. This menu is available through Feb. 18. So have you kept your weeks-old resolutions, maybe with Green Mill’s help, through then? And dropped a few pounds too? Fit can be fun and fantastically tasty. Ask The Mill, as they’ve been through that drill …
— Did we mention garlic? The ways it’s served up at Green Mill include as straight-up, in rounds, buttered and/or mayo, and cream sauce that can be seasoned, including as “hurricane.” See some of this on their occasional, cool and also can-be-fiery specialty burger special with fries or fruit for $9.99, and these are stacked much higher than the fist of a big guy with a hearty appetite, or via their $5 quick satisfaction survey to get discounted grub, and maybe woven into their special homemade dough in take-and-bake (see below.) —
So many of the fit pastas you can tie into, can be served gluten friendly by swapping out a main ingredient of the dish for gluten-free penne noodles, for just $2.99. That’s like for three bites of a typical cheeseburger! But they really change up and vary their components, especially on this special menu.
Thus, try the gluten-free Sausage Bruschetta Cavatappi with Italian as the sausage, roasted tomato bruschetta, spinach, and cavatappi tossed in a garlic cream sauce. It’s topped with fresh basil and parmesan for $16.99, weighing in at only 490 calories.
Another such Cavatappi, the Grilled Parmesan Chicken, uses cavatappi noodles, garlic, spinach, and tomato bruschetta sautéed in an Italian herb sauce. And topped with zesty tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, and fresh basil.
The BBQ Grilled Chicken Bowl tosses in so many veggies such as cabbage, spinach, and brown rice quinoa. Topped with corn, tomatoes, red and green onions, black beans, bacon, roasted jalapeños, cilantro, BBQ sauce, and smokey ranch dressing. Only $15.99.
Also take your Chicken in an Asparagus Stir Fry Bowl, adding again cabbage, red bell peppers, celery, and onions tossed in a sesame stir fry sauce atop a bed of brown rice quinoa. Topped with roasted jalapeños, cilantro, green onions, and fried noodles. You can substitute shrimp for a couple of bucks.
Italian Sausage Goddess Pizza makes the crust extra thin with spinach, portobello mushrooms, onions, tomato bruschetta, garlic, and mozzarella. Spicy sausage, parmesan, and green goddess dressing are piled on and the price drops to $14.99. It’s at 80 calories per slice, and has eight slices.
In the Meatball & Roasted Bruschetta Fettuccine, the meatballs are crumbled a bit, there’s the garlic again, and spinach, roasted tomato bruschetta, and fettuccine tossed in a zesty Italian tomato cream sauce. Topped with parmesan.
The Chicken Stir Fry Salad throws in romaine and uses marinated meat, broccoli, water chestnuts, pea pods, red peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and roasted cashews, in teriyaki sauce. Topped with fried noodles for $15.99. You can substitute shrimp too.
Why do they call it Gluten Friendly? The following is Green Millapedia. The indicated items are termed gluten-free, but because of using high-gluten flour in their kitchen, there is a (small) chance of cross-contamination on menu items.
This restaurant and bar establishment caters to many people with more upscale nightlife and dining tastes and for example, you are likely to encounter international business travelers staying at nearby motels, and also the group of local regulars with much similar resumes that lay claim to the south side of the big circular bar, most all of whom can engage you in some fascinating conversation. At Green Mill, it can be anything from Kashmir, or Hong Kong, to the Green Bay Packers, and one of their globe-trotting patrons has combined all those ends of things. And oh, this is more than drinks, as their food is award-winning, with the pizza and its creative takes voted best in Minnesota and the surrounding area for several years running. But those drinks … Just for starters, there are long happy hours twice a weekday and beer on a month where you can get a draft for three bucks or just a bit more.
