`FOOD

The food at Vida Asana was created with a healthy lifestyle as the inspiration. Every menu item is made from scratch using whole, and as often as possible, organic ingredients. The food is mostly gluten free, and vegan centric, with eggs and yogurt at breakfast, and fish served at dinner every second night. All allergies or dietary needs are easily accommodated. Additionally, Vida Asana is continuing to install more permaculture gardens and edible landscaping to increase the onsite organic harvest.

Breakfast Examples:

Gallo pinto
