Fit 2025: Make Healthier Choices with Bánh Mì Kitchen

by BMKN Orders

We're already halfway through the first quarter of the year—how are you keeping up with your New Year’s resolution? According to a survey from Forbes Health in 2024, the most commonly selected New Year’s resolution was fitness.

For this year, some of us might still have the same goal: to make healthier choices for a fitter 2025. As we progress in this journey, we’ll need to surround ourselves with healthy alternatives to help achieve this goal and make it a sustainable lifestyle.

And when it comes to on-the-go healthy meals, Bánh Mì Kitchen has got your back! Whether you're a regular at your local Bánh Mì Kitchen or trying it for the first time, it can definitely help you make healthier choices as you work toward your fitness goals in 2025. You can enjoy the deliciousness of a Bánh Mì while still staying on track with your health and wellness.


Here’s a guide to making healthier choices the next time you visit your favorite Bánh Mì Kitchen spot:

1. Choose Proteins or Vegan Options

Protein is not a problem at Bánh Mì Kitchen. Bánh Mìs are filled with pork (such as grilled pork or pâté), chicken, or beef.

Proteins: The Protein Monster, Lemongrass Chicken, and Lemongrass Pork are some of the best protein choices on the BMKN menu. These options are made with high-quality meat that will surely fuel anyone needing energy for an intense workout or any activity.

Vegan Options: For those who opt for non-meat meals, BMKN offers Meatless Falafel and Fish Fillet Bánh Mìs. These options absorb the flavors of the herbs and sauces, providing a satisfying meal.



Moreover, aside from Bánh Mìs, BMKN also has other healthy dishes. You can try the Vegan Vermicelli Salad, which makes a great meal, or Fresh Spring Rolls for a light snack that helps avoid unhealthy binge eating between meals.

Egg: For an extra protein boost without too much added fat, go for a soft-boiled or scrambled egg option. This is a common ingredient in some Bánh Mìs, such as in the Wagyu Tapa and Protein Monster, making them even more satisfying.

2. Pile on the Veggies

Bánh Mìs are packed with fresh, crunchy vegetables like pickled carrots, radish, cucumber, and cilantro. These veggies not only add great flavor and texture but are also rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

3. Watch Your Portion Size

Bánh Mìs are filling sandwiches, and while they’re delicious, large portions can sometimes be more than you need for a satisfying meal. To prevent overeating, BMKN offers a choice between the 4-5 inch Jr. Bánh Mì or the 7-8 inch Full Bánh Mì. Or you can:

  • Split it: If the sandwich is too large, share it with a friend. This way, you can enjoy the flavors without overindulging.

  • Pair with a light side: If you're still hungry after half of your Bánh Mì, consider pairing it with a side of Vermicelli Salad, a broth-based soup like Pho, or Spring Rolls for extra nutrients and volume without the additional calories.

4. Drink Smart

What you drink with your meal can impact your overall health and fitness goals. At Bánh Mì Kitchen, there are several healthy and refreshing beverage options. Here’s how to make healthier drink choices:

Opt for water or healthy tea: A refreshing glass of water or a healthy drink can complement your meal. Options like Honey Ginger Lemonade or Lemongrass Pandan Tea are available on the BMKN menu. These drinks are part of a flavorful, refreshing lineup that lets you enjoy your meal with fewer calories and guilt.


5. Consider Meal Timing

You can visit Bánh Mì Kitchen anytime of the day, at branches across the country or through your favorite food app. Depending on your activity level, meal timing can play a role in making the best health choices.

  • Post-workout: Eating Bánh Mì after a workout is perfect since you'll need a good source of protein and carbs to refuel. Opt for a protein-rich option like the Protein Monster and pair it with extra vegetables for the vitamins and minerals your body needs for recovery.

  • Light Snack: Fresh Spring Rolls and the Vermicelli Salad are also perfect for a healthy light snack.

  • Light Dinner: For an evening meal, choose a lighter filling with fewer calories, such as Pho or a Salad, paired with a healthy refreshing drink. This is a great option instead of a rice-based meal to avoid a heavy dinner before bed.

Conclusion

As you embark on a fit 2025, making healthier choices doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor or satisfaction. With Bánh Mì Kitchen, you can enjoy delicious and flavorful meals while staying aligned with your fitness and health goals. You’ll have no excuses for not fulfilling this year’s top New Year’s resolution!

Enjoy your sandwich with a side of self-care, knowing that you can indulge in this Vietnamese classic without derailing your healthy habits. Here's to a #oddydelicious, fit, and flavorful 2025!
