Froots Restaurant, Guam....A Great, Health-Conscious Place to Eat!!!!

We love fast food. Who doesn't!! One of my wife's favorite fast food restaurants here on Guam is Froots.

Froots is a nation-wide fast food restaurant franchise. The local franchise on Guam is owned by Christine Baleto. There are two locations on Guam. The first one opened in the Agana Shopping Center. This did so well, another restaurant was opened at the Guam Premium Outlets also known as GPO. Froots offers an array of made-to-order smoothies, wraps, paninis, salads and soups. This restaurant sports a health food theme. And they do it well.

The last time we went to Froots, my wife ordered the California Turkey Wrap wrapped in a spinach tortilla. This wrap is packed with turkey breast, bacon, Monterrey jack cheese, tomato, onion, alfalfa sprouts, avocado, spring mix, and ranch dressing. My wife loves this wrap.

I ordered the Tropical Toucan smoothie. This smoothie is "off the hook". It contains mango, peaches, strawberry-kiwi juice and orange sherbert, all my favorite flavors. These smoothies are thick, cold (brain freeze) and just plain delicious.

Here are a couple of pictures of my wife's California Turkey Spinach Tortilla wrap...

Here is the presentation

This is one fantastic tasting wrap!!!

Froots has quite a large variety of health-conscious menu items. Here is their menu....

One of our local television news stations, KUAM, aired a video report on the Guam Froots which was reported by Joan Aguon Charfauros. Here is that video...

So if you are looking for a delicious, health-conscious bite to eat, go to your local Froots Restaurant. You will definitely be glad you did and so will your stomach.

Until next time....

Pork Adobo at the firestation!!!!

Well, just to make a long story short, I had to work at the firestation yesterday. The chef for the day make a great tasting Pork Adobo. This is a type of Asian stew.

Here is what he did....

Ingredients

One 3 lb. pork butt

1 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup soy sauce

3 chicken bullion cubes

1.5 cups of water

3 potatoes. cubed

5 cloves of garlic, minced

3 tbsp vegetable oil

freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Directions

Cut up the pork butt into 1.5 inch cubes and mince the garlic. 

Browned this in an 8 qt. pot after after adding the oil. 

Add the soy and vinegar. Bring it all to a boil while constantly stirring, about 5 minutes. 

Add the chicken bullion cubes, black pepper and one cubed potato. The potato will thicken the soup.

Allow to cook, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will reduce the liquid. 

After the 15 minutes, pour in the water and add the rest of the potatoes and cook for another 15 minutes, covered. 

Stir occasionally. 

It will be finished when the pork meat is tender enough for you.

Eat with white rice. 

I telling you, you've got to try this!!! I think you will love it. You might want to make a double batch because, like any stew, it is better the next day.

Enjoy.

Until next time....
