It’s wonderful to eat, drink and party the year away and
bring in 2016 with a bubbly. Once the hangover of 2015 resides, we awaken to a
new fresh beginning with new hopes and promises. It’s that time of the year when
we feel more motivated than ever to make improvements in our lives, and at the
top of the common list is the desire to live a healthier lifestyle.
While staying at the Reunion Resort during your Orlando vacation, there are many simple things you can do to feel good about the new year. The Florida climate is mild in the early mornings and perfect for a nice run. Perhaps you can take a detour and enjoy one of the many nature trails the Reunion Resort has to offer. If your rental property doesn’t include a swimming pool, there are many other resort pools available where recreational play gets a checkmark for aerobic exercise, and the large pools are great for laps. Play some tennis or work out in the fitness center. You can rent a bicycle and tour the resort’s beautiful surroundings. Grab your family for a game of Volleyball.
Now that you feel good from your activities, you will want to eat lite and continue to enjoy the healthier new you.

Eleven
Eleven sits atop the Grande in the Reunion Resort with an
amazing view of the surrounding landscape. You can enjoy the Disney Magic
Kingdom fireworks display here.
Eleven caters to a cultivated palate with an assorted menu
aimed to please any inclination, including that of the health conscious. Perhaps
you can start your dinner with a lite serving of Poached “Shrimp-tini” in a Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce over Watercress.
Their Soup & Salad menu includes several healthy or lite options, such as
the Mission Fig & Field Greens on Chopped
Hazelnuts, Crumbled Goat Cheese and a Toasted Hazelnut Vinaigrette. Skip
the fatty Béarnaise Sauce or red meat and try the Bronzed Grouper with Lobster & Shrimp Ragu, Organic Grits, Orange
Cajun Sauce and Asparagus for your main course. Don’t you feel better
already? Look for their gluten free and vegetarian menu item icons.
Forte
Forte is located at the main floor of the Grande in the
Reunion Resort. This Italian restaurant includes one of the most impressive
wine cellars around. Ask your waiter for a nice dry wine to go with your
healthy selections from the menu. When we think of Italian food, it is easy to
think of all the fatty pasta and pizza dishes and forget that Mediterranean
cuisine is also known for its many healthy aspects. Start with a lite portion
of Littleneck Clams with Artichokes,
Sweet Sausage and Tomato or navigate to the Soup & Salad menu where you
can find a refreshing Watermelon Soup
Feta Crema with Toasted Almonds and Olive Oil. Are you still in the mood
for pasta? Skip the heavy meat sauce and treat yourself to a fresh Lobster
Cappelini with Tomatoes & Basil.
Grande Lobby Sushi
Bar
It’s a real challenge to eat greasy food when your pickings
are from a sushi menu, but if you are in the company of someone who cringes at
the thought of eating healthy, the Lobby Bar Menu includes classics such as
Buffalo Wings, Flatbreads and Burgers. If you are trying to eat low carb,
choose Sashimi over traditional
Sushi, or swap your white rice for brown
rice. Add a seasoned seaweed salad, the Hiyashi
Wakame, or some Edamame for that
splash of green on your plate.
Reunion Clubhouse and
Grille Restaurant
You can find your American all Day Dining at the Clubhouse.
Enjoy a nice view of the driving range next door. An American menu may seem
challenging if you wish to eat healthy. The trick is to curb the flow of
dressing and gravy, to pick healthy options such as sweet potato fries over
regular fries or broccoli as a side dish – and stay away from that Texas Toast!
If you are having the Plum Tomato Basil
Bisque for a starter, order the small cup. An American menu often includes
a great selection of healthy salads. The Clubhouse
Salad with a Spring Mix, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Red Onions, Carrots, Cheddar
Cheese with Citrus Vinaigrette makes for a tasty and healthy option, and
you can always order it without the cheese. You can add chicken, shrimp or
salmon and still feel as if you’re keeping to your New Years Resolution. Adding
more fish to your diet is a good way to eat healthier – ask about the catch of
the day! The clubhouse also serves an Apples
& Citrus Chicken Breast dish with Granny Smith Apple Relish, Cranberry,
Pecan and Citrus Brown Rice that beats the traditional burger plate by a
long shot on our health-o-meter. The Clubhouse also marks their dishes with
gluten free and vegetarian indicators.
The Grille at the
Reunion Resort Waterpark
Shed those pounds as you become a kid for the day at the
Reunion Waterpark. Splash, swim, and climb the stairs to go down the slides.
When you get hungry, the grill has lots of healthy options such as salads, vegetarian dishes, and fresh fruit
platters.
The Cove Restaurant
at Seven Eagles Pool
Drift into a Caribbean influenced theme at the Cove
restaurant after loosing track of your laps in the glittering pool under the
warming Florida sun. Order the Fruit Boat
to quench your thirst and hunger. If
you want something more filling then a salad, bite into their Veggie Boca Burger.
Best of all is of course, that you can buy, store, and cook
your own healthy food when you rent a vacation home. Call us today to find out
