Our Marvelous Mango Dishes Taste Great & Are Good For You

This Saturday, July 22, 2017 is a little known holiday - Mango Day! We appreciate the deliciousness of this sweet, juicy, tropical fruit at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant, and we love it so much that it is prominently featured in many of our Dog Days Bar & Grill menu items this season. 

Delicious AND Healthy
Around 20 million tons of mangos are grown annually each year, and there are over 400 varieties of this tasty fruit. According to Medical News Today, this is the most widely consumed fruit in the world! Alone, the marvelous mango contains over 20 vitamins and minerals, and when paired with the other healthy ingredients on our menu, the benefits for your body skyrocket even higher. 

Zeaxanthin, an antioxidant found in mangos, plays a role in protecting the health of your eyes, and has been found to decrease the risk and progression of age-related macular degeneration. The beta-carotene found in this fruit lowers the risk for developing asthma and may even help to protect your body against certain cancers. 

The high fiber content promotes a healthy digestive tract and can lower blood glucose levels. Along with the fiber, the potassium in mangos can help to prevent heart disease. Vitamins A and C are present to help with healthy skin and hair growth. Lower cholesterol is also an added benefit of eating this tasty treat. Last, but certainly not least, the generous amounts of certain vitamins, along with 25 different kinds of carotenoids, gives your immune system a nice boost.    

Try Our Mango Dishes
This season Dog Days Bar & Grill added a lot of new menu items specifically targeted at the health-conscious. We did this by adding lots of natural ingredients that not only taste amazing, but also provide your body with much of what it needs daily to stay strong and healthy. The following dishes are where you will find mangos among our menu items. We've even included this amazing fruit in a dessert, and the delicious flavor in a few of our cocktails.

Our Salads Aren't Just Delicious, They're Healthy Too!

In an effort to add more healthy choices to the menu at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant, we've come up with a lot of new dishes for the 2017 season that we know you're going to love. Our Dog Days Bar & Grill salads go beyond your regular salad, offering amazing flavor along with ingredients full of vitamins, antioxidants, and all around good-for-you deliciousness! 

Not Your Everyday Salad
When our chefs make a salad, they're not just throwing some lettuce in a bowl with a crouton or two. Our fresh greens are accompanied by crisp vegetables, flavorful meats, and luscious fruits that pack a gigantic punch for your taste buds. The bold colors of the ingredients are even a feast for your eyes! 

These salads contain ingredients rich in fiber, which is great for boosting metabolism, improving digestion, and is helpful with weight loss. Lots of them are low in cholesterol, which is beneficial to heart health. The high amounts of potassium are wonderful for lowering blood pressure, and the antioxidants in the fruits and vegetables can protect against some cancers. All of the Vitamin C present in many of the salads is incredible for a good immune system too.   

The different ingredients offer different benefits, but don't worry about trying to match a health benefit you are wanting to a particular salad. We've done our best to put a mix of everything into all of the amazing salads on our new menu. 


Asian Tuna Salad

Skinny Drinks
You'll need something to drink along with your meal, but if you're watching your weight as one of your health-conscious choices, some drinks are full of empty calories. A big refreshing glass of water is always an excellent option, and we also have bottled water if you prefer that. Unsweetened iced tea is another refreshing choice, especially with a squeeze of lemon for added Vitamin C. 

Sometimes it's hard to sit lakeside and not enjoy a cocktail, especially if you are on vacation. Well, the best waterfront bar at the Lake of the Ozarks has you covered there too! Our drink menu has a "Skinny Drinks" section so that you can watch your calories while still enjoying a tasty drink. Ingredients include zero-calorie mixers, sugar-free options, and healthy juices.
