Clean Plate Meal Prep opened a few days ago in Glassboro, New Jersey, and I stopped by today (Wednesday) to find a line of people inside and outside of the beautifully remodeled High Street cafe, eager to give them a try!
And to help get the word out about their newest location, Clean Plate Glassboro is in the middle of a full week of grand opening specials and events, including a big finale celebration on Friday!
For Wednesday, November 11, Clean Plate is offering Buy One, Get One 50% Off! Just use the code BOGO50 when placing an online order. Open Until 9pm!
Thursday is “Thirsty Thursday,” with customers receiving a free smoothie or protein shake with purchase.
And Friday brings the big Grand Opening Finale, featuring food samples, surprise giveaways, and a grand finale raffle that includes a $100 High Grounds gift card and more!
They hyped up Wednesday’s promotion yesterday on their Facebook page, and literally just five minutes ago as I write this article, they posted another reminder about the special!
I popped in quickly today to grab a few photos, and while outside, I was recognized by a couple of Rowan University employees who volunteered some feedback about Clean Plate.
Even though the new Glassboro location has only been open a few days, they had already stopped in for lunch once, found the food absolutely delicious, and were back again today for another visit!
That’s a pretty good endorsement for a brand-new restaurant!
Clean Plate Glassboro – High Street
42Freeway first reported in early September that Clean Plate Meal Prep was coming to downtown Glassboro, taking over the former Rye & Howie sandwich shop location, which unfortunately closed.
The new Clean Plate is located at the corner of High and Poplar Streets, directly across from Glassboro Town Square and Rowan Boulevard. High Grounds Coffee Roasters is just across Poplar Street.
Inside, the space has received a beautiful full remodel, creating a bright, attractive cafe with casual seating for customers who want to enjoy their meals on-site.
But one thing that really surprised me was the new outdoor cafe seating area they’ve put together along the side of the building.
It’s a really nice and comfortable-looking space that extends the dining experience outside and fits perfectly with the increasingly vibrant downtown Glassboro atmosphere.
And considering the location, with Rowan University’s large student population and nearby employers such as Rowan and Inspira, Glassboro seems like a great fit for Clean Plate.
There’s a significant built-in population of people looking for convenient, delicious meals that also fit into a healthier lifestyle.
Eat Clean, Not Less!
If you’re unfamiliar with Clean Plate Meal Prep, at a very high level, their concept focuses on freshly prepared, healthy, high-protein meals.
Their tagline is “Eat Clean, Not Less,” and I think that really sums up what they’re offering.
Two of their existing locations, in Woodbury Heights and Blackwood-Clementon, are connected to large fitness gyms, making Clean Plate a natural fit for people focused on health and fitness.
But don’t think you need to be a gym regular to appreciate what Clean Plate offers!
I’ve eaten their food, and guys, it’s absolutely delicious for anyone!
In fact, the new Glassboro cafe and an upcoming Cherry Hill location are both standalone restaurants that aren’t directly attached to fitness centers.
And don’t be confused by the “Meal Prep” portion of their name.
While prepared meal plans are an important part of the business, Clean Plate is also a full cafe-style restaurant where you can simply stop in, order a delicious lunch, and enjoy it at a table or take it to go.
For those who want to make healthier eating a regular part of their lifestyle, Clean Plate also offers meal plan programs where customers can purchase freshly prepared meals in bulk.
Flex Bowls, Wraps, Smoothies and More
So I’ve said a lot about healthy eating, but what exactly can you order at Clean Plate?
The full menu offers a broad selection of grilled wraps, quesadillas, salads, smoothies, protein shakes, and their popular customizable Flex Bowls.
I recently stopped into their Blackwood-Clementon location and decided to give one of those signature Flex Bowls a try.
I started with a brown rice base and added grilled chicken, onions, peppers, feta cheese, and a sweet chili sauce.
I came up with that combination myself from their list of available ingredients, and everything blended together into an absolutely delicious meal!
Clean Plate has me convinced that you really can eat healthier without giving up on flavor.
Of course, you don’t have to come up with your own combinations, as they also offer a variety of featured bowls.
For example, their Grilled Mango Bowl features grilled chicken, jasmine rice, roasted peppers, purple cabbage, mangoes, and sweet chili aioli.
Or how about the Korean Beef Bowl, featuring marinated steak, jasmine rice, shredded carrots, purple cabbage, scallions, and an Asian sesame dressing?
Customers can choose from proteins including chicken, steak, and shrimp, along with a wide selection of fresh vegetables that also make vegetarian combinations possible.
The wraps get creative too, with selections such as Southwestern BBQ Ranch Chicken and Creamy Cajun Salmon.
And the menu continues with a variety of freshly prepared smoothies and protein shakes, all keeping with the Clean Plate focus on healthier eating that doesn’t sacrifice flavor.
Now Open in Downtown Glassboro
The new Clean Plate Glassboro is open for customers to stop in, place an order, and enjoy their meals in the casual indoor dining area or outside at the new cafe seating space.
Online ordering is also available for pickup, making it convenient for Rowan students, downtown employees, and anyone else looking for a quick, healthier meal.
And with the full week of grand opening celebrations underway, there are plenty of reasons to stop by and check them out!
Considering the line of customers I saw today, combined with the excitement surrounding the new opening and these special promotions, I expect it’s going to be a very busy week for Clean Plate Meal Prep in Glassboro!
