Healthy Eats: The Farm Bowl at The Anchor

In Sayulita, it seems as though smoothie bowls, açai bowls and superfood smoothies are around almost every corner. The Anchor in Sayulita is changing it up and offering  a delicious, new concept: The Farm Bowl. The Farm Bowl is a blend of fresh and healthy ingredients when prepared together creates a burst of flavor.

The Anchor was created by owner Greta San Pablo in February 2016. Her coffee shop and smoothie bar quickly became a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. The Anchor is conveniently located in Sayulita on Calle Marlin just off the plaza, on the right as you start up Gringo Hill (located next to Escondido Wine Bar). What makes The Anchor different from other coffee shops and cafes in Sayulita is the location and variety of menu options. The minute you step inside The Anchor, you feel like you’ve found one of Sayulita’s best kept secrets. A chill atmosphere with great music, excellent wi-fi, and friendly, welcoming service makes this place a favorite among locals.

When asking about the ingredients of different dishes, Greta mentioned she gets all of her fruits and vegetables from local vendors and farmers locally in town. When she wants a larger variety, she will go to Tepic and bring back different fruits. On any given day, you can see her coming in from her daily shopping trips with crates full of strawberries, fresh yaka, and when in season, fresh guanabana and mangoes. She utilizes all of her ingredients seasonally.

The Farm bowl is a powerful dish packed with protein, magnesium, B-vitamins, and a lot of flavor. The ingredients include quinoa, brown rice, beans, a mixture of fresh vegetables, and a poached egg. For a vegan version, you can omit the egg for extra avocado or more veggies. The finishing touch is a homemade dressing that combines all the flavors together, creating a robust and delicious presentation. If you want a pick-me up for those mid-day slumps, or need some extra energy after a yoga class or surf sessions, The Farm Bowl is your best bet. In a hurry? The Anchor offers all their sandwiches, smoothie and superfood bowls, coffee and smoothies to-go.
